This is Po. She likes rolling around in money. I told her that she should hold out for benjamins, but she didn't listen.




This is what she looks like normally, in a state of surprise/confusion:

Here is her as a young African American:


You must have a strong willpower to resist giving a kitty with that face whatever she wants and then some :3:

The big Guide to Housecat Coat Colors and Patterns pdf has a "brindled bicolor" under the "Freak patterns, Seen in a very few cases, usually due to chance mutation" section. It describes the pattern as a "Tortoiseshell pattern where the patches that should be red are white, as if the red pigment couldn't be produced." In other words, it seems like some kind of genetic mutation that completely turned off the red pigment production. (Makes sense, given that white color is actually the suppression of the expression of a color gene.)

In other words, that is a very unusual, very special cat. :3: And very cute too.

Isn't there a goon's cat that had a similar coat and was an XXY? (Or whatever the chromosome combo is to get a tortie male) Or did I make that up?

Either way, gorgeous kitty. I recommend the name "Speckle"

My old cats used to have those, they are like extra sensitive hairs. Just hold it between your fingers and watch that area of the cat twitch (don't do it for long though, cats get annoyed)

edit: oh, thats on her leg. My cats had them on their back and side and if you held the hair they would twitch. Disclaimer - If you do this, your cat may get angry and kill you

:aaaaa: I never noticed it until now, but my cat has one on her backside! Poking it even gently makes her all twitchy, and if I do it too long I get whapped and/or bitten. That's fascinating! Is there a reason why that hair exists, or why it's white?
