This is Scrappy (RIP), his black fur had patches of white likely due to vitiligo. One of the prettiest cats I've ever seen. (lemmy.world)

Kitty-ligo served him well! My mother's old cat got bits of white fur on him as he aged, but never like this.

Cookies and creme flavored cat

That cat can talk. And it has a posh British accent.

I feel for your loss, going through it similarly myself. On the other hand, I have never seen this before in a cat, and he looks incredible.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

He wasn't my kitty, but I appreciate the sentiment nevertheless as I have lost pets before. It's never easy.

[-] RedIce25@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

He looks so soft and cuddly

Señor Scrappy ❤️

Do you know how old he was when he developed the white patches?

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

The article said he was 7 years old.

[-] ugh@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

That's so cool. I've never heard of that before.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I haven't either until this cat popped up in my image search, and I went "What in the world is this beauty‽"

He became an Italian marble cat. He was gorgeous.

Black with white patches or white with black veins? 👀

[-] lugal@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

The before picture is a black cat. Donno if both pictures load for you

[-] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Oh I saw that. It was a joke about how being called black with white spots seems quite the opposite of what it looks like.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

A well marbled cat!

That look, though. They sure are watching you from anywhere they are now.
