Those aren't common striped raph cats?.... I have one I've had for over a year sold to me from a non big box lfs as a striped raph and he's a fatty, about 6", and looks literally identical to that left one.

The one on the left is a striped raphael; right is the O eigenmanni. The eigenmanni are a by catch and not regularly imported.
