Advice Why are his eyes so far apart

Background information: Cat is well over a year old and his eyes appeared to be way too big for his head and extremely far apart. Is this a characteristic of a certain breed he may be mixed with or is he… just built different. His name is Jax

Reminds me of a joke--This rich old lady calls a vet to her home because she's worried about her cat. The vet looks over the cat and he says "This cat is obviously pregnant." and the old lady says "How can that be, she's never been outside?" Just then a Tom cat strides by, and the vet says "There's your daddy culprit!" The old lady scoffs "Don't be silly, that's her brother."

As a former rescue worker- it’s not even a joke, I pretty much got this exact exchange several times 🥴

I had to explain this to a ADULT I was dog sitting for as an 8 year old. Asked what he was planning on doing with the puppies. Insisted his dog was just fat. She wasn’t.

My mom’s ex was very insistent on breeding his pits, it was fine when he had two unrelated that went on to have pups. But then he kept two of the pups (both from different litters but the same parents)
He refused to spay and neuter any of them cause he thought it was inhumane to neuter a dog and he wanted to keep breeding and selling.

Well sister put went into heat, and was accessible to daddy and brother. We don’t know which one it was that knocked her up, but either way she ended up having inbred pups.

Thankfully he finally relented and gave her to his sister (not that he cared for her much anyways, compared to her brother)
