I could have SWORN that I had at least a few asks requesting Miss Bumble… But I suppose not!

BUMBLE

“I'm tired of being a kittypet! I want to lie in the sun all day and catch mice and climb trees!”

Curled ears.

Almost entirely dark face.

Especially round face.

Very thick, fluffy coat!

Unusually short legs, especially when in comparison to the rest of her body.

Fluffy, slightly longer-than-average tail.

Subtly honeycomb-patterned collar.

Hi, I would love to know the "proper" color names for these two please ❤️

(first photo of the spotty boy shows real color)

the top cat appears to be a black classic tabby with high white spotting! what a charmer :)

the bottom cat appears to be a black spotted tabby, although he could also be a black mackerel tabby!

Not sure if he'd be considered a tuxedo/bicolor, or mackerel tabby with low white spotting? (Are they the same thing?)

Black mackerel tabby with white

A tuxedo cat is traditionally a solid black cat with around 10-40% white. It's a colloquial term, like calico, and as such is not used on this blog.

On this blog, "with white" is anywhere up to 40% white, and "bicolor" is 40-60% white. Keep in mind that this is not a strict rule, as many cats can appear to have different amounts of white at different angles.

The clan cat named Caecilianwillow is a mousey brown amab cis cat with a mackerel tabby coat and a mostly white body. The pronouns this cat uses are he/they. This cat has medium, soft fur and light blue eyes. This cat dislikes climbing, and likes patrolling. The cat is lovable and arrogant. The cat doesn't talk much. This cat has one scar.

Two days late but here he is!

SOL

“...No cat should just accept what has gone before. StarClan's time is over. These cats are dead, and their spirits have no power over you.”

[Black-based chimera with ginger classic-tabby and chocolate mackerel-tabby tortoiseshell patches, high white spotting, short-and-long fur, and heterochromatic gold-and-blue eyes.]

Oh Sol… They did you so dirty… You could have been such a cool villain if you were utilized properly…

Design notes!

Uneven fur lengths due to his chimerism. Most of his coat is sleek and short, especially around his torso, tail, and the length of his face and ears. Much longer, thicker fur grows naturally from his tail-tips, mane, belly, legs, ear fluff, and from the sides of his face.

Polycaudal! I think I was one of the first to come up with this idea, but I could totally be wrong… Means “many-tailed”; very rare, but something that can occur in real cats in real life!

Sectoral heterochromia in both eyes.

Tons of striking, stylized markings. His left ginger tortie leg is styled like a star, while the patch over his eyes is like a circle or an eclipse.

Each of his paws are unique. Hind left has ginger and brown spots; upper left has ginger toes; hind right has a single brown toe; upper right is pure white.

Scarring includes: A slash on his jaw, made by Leafstar on accident while being driven from SkyClan; this is purely headcanon.

bro I didn't tell Tumblr this yet but this cat has recently been chilling around my house, he showed up on the 5th and I love him so much

hes such a sweet and silly boy!! I would formally take him in if my parents allowed pets, but unfortunately...

i am feeding him and I want to take him when I move out in ~10 months, if my sister (who I'm moving in with) is cool w it :3
