Not sure what you call this kind of cat but I had one for 20+ years and it was just the raddest little dude ever, made people who didn't like cats turn into cat lovers. He was just always very friendly and sociable. He could handle himself in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Had street smarts, would send dogs away yelping, was really smart, and didn't even let out a whimper that one time he came back from the vacants with his clearly broken leg draggin around.
They are called Standard issue cat
Well, this one has a white undercarriage
Don't mind that, it's from when they painted the other ceiling
Can't believe I still didn't know that, after all these years.
The coloration is ' tabby ' -- in this case not pure tabby cuz sooo much white belly to snuggle!
Oh, definitely heard that one a lot. Mine was almost exactly same coloring as this. Quite black and white striping and white belly too. Thanks!
Technically this breed is a domestic shorthair but my cat has the same markings and is pretty similar. Super outgoing and has zero fear but he'd yowl like hell if he broke his leg. He yowls pretty much all the time though.
His sister was tiger-striped too but orange. Yeah, he was quite communicative. Thanks for the 411!
Ceiling cat!
