Hello cat phenotype identifiers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What kind of tabby is my thermophilic gremlin? His name is Goldie and he loves snuggling inside of blankets when it is cold
Tumblr media
I am adding my other cat, Grey so that she wouldn't be left out :(
She somehow developed the sleeping schedule of a human. Like going to bed at 9 and waking up at 5 like the typical 60 something Vietnamese auntie. What the fuck.
Goldie is a red spotted tabby, and Grey is a blue self! such striking eyes :)

Here is our sweet girl Izzie!!

We think she is a plain tabby, but her adoption papers say toyger so we’re not sure. Her tummy is very orange though!!

Black mackerel tabby! Cat breeds are different from dogs in that most cats are just . normal cats. unless they have a pedigree or papers proving they’re a particular breed, they’re just a normal kitty!

different anon but I would also like to know if cats can be green. I will like the answer no matter what :3
i mean. n. not really? the (in)famous green cat posts are just. mostly lighting in the photo. for example!
Tumblr media
user gothicprep's famous green cat is just a normal cat black tabbycat, on some peachy blankets, with sunlight coming from an angle that casts both colors onto the cat's fur. it looks green but that is just Mochi Being A Cat and Taking a Nap. the contrast of the darker plumish-colored shadows of the chair to the brown and black also contribute a whole lot to this
and before anyone goes "colorpicker! colorpicker says its green!!!!" have you been to a color theory lesson once. tumblr loved color theory but never actually understands it. pissing on the poor website.... colors are dictated by their context guys, and the context makes the cat appear green but thts just mochi
i could say so much more but finals are absolutely kicking my ass. it really is dead week because holy shit. i may edit this post with more info bout green cats once i get the chance but yeah

Black mackerel tabby with white! (Also not blue because that's not how colors work, both in images and cats)

could you please identify this cat i generated in clangen? i saw your post about the calico-looking kitty with both black and brown patches and got curious about her :3
i didn't notice it immediately, but the brown on her ears and nose don't match the brown on her tail and back. she has striping on her tail too. thank you!!!!
Tumblr media
what a gorgeous girl! she looks like a long haired black ticked tortoiseshell tabby with high white. I believe the different coloured brown on her tail is just because it’s the colour beneath the stripes! her white patch hides most of the ticked markings so it looks solid.
