As an inaugural post I present one of my childhood cats, Bella. We got her from a local shelter.

She was a mackerel black torbie domestic shorthair with a bit of white spotting. and the voice of an angelic squeaky toy.

Bicolor, black non agouti tuxedo, domestic long hair

So this is my cat who was mislabeled as a Maine Coon (I know for a fact she isn’t). But she is vertical, at least.

maybe not a maine coon, but 10/10 for both standing and loafing skills

she's also a brown/black/grey tabby and very pretty, so it's not surprising she was mislabeled

This cat is a 1990-1996 Toyota Sera.

See: the gaze, the soft lines, the greenish pastel hue.

The Toyota Sera was discussed by @things-about-cars-in-posts. - @tumblehcendrum

Hi! I saw a really pretty stray cat the other day. The coloration was just rlly eye-catching and I was curious about what the pattern or coloration is called. Any ideas?

this is a lynx point domestic shorthair, which is what happens when the colorpoint gene is combined with tabby (specifically brown/grey/black tabby), and it looks like he's got some fairly extensive and interesting white markings as well, which would explain the back splotches.

but more importantly, this is a baby.

my sweet little calico lady, she is ever so tiny and I just like sharing her with the world

aww what a sweet little bean! I love cats that just stay small.

(and she is definitely a domestic shorthair, looks like a black torbie same as Bella but with more white)

Bicolor Brown mackerel tabby (I think I can't see the body, where the main distinguishing part is), white socks chest, domestic short hair

OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE HAS A CHANCE OF DESCRIBING WHATEVER THE FUCK MY DEAR LILY HAS GOING ON

I love her so much and she is so weirdly and beautifully coloured??

(We adopted her from a local humane society; they had her breed listed as "Snowshoe" but we doubt that; she seems much more Ragdoll is anything.)

I have no damn clue where to even begin to describe her colouring or coat pattern, so, uh... help?

Phenotype: black tortoiseshell colorpoint longhair with <50% white

Just your normal tortie point! The color is more faded on her back because it's warmer there than her face, paws, and tail.

Breed: Likely random-bred

I've gone on rambles about this before but the gist of it is that if you don't know your cat's pedigree it's probably not a specific breed. And that's ok, because all cats are awesome!

Interesting Features: colorful and stunning ✨️

Truly an excellent cat!

My handsome baby boy waffles!!! Obviously a tabby cat, but would you say he’s a mackerel tabby? I’m so bad at telling the differences between types of tabby coats

yep, he’s a brown mackerel tabby and a domestic shorthair! and the sleepiest boy

[cat-identification]

Silver mackerel tabby domestic (american?) short hair

When he realized red is the good part of the watermelon.. 😅

this is my cousin’s cat Meringue, and he’s huge. (he is also a little overweight but he’s seriously like two feet long.) i would love to know what he is other than a remarkably intelligent little menace

diagnosis: magnificent fluffy baby

but also he’s a domestic longhair, and he looks like cream (dilute red) with white spotting. he could also be a non-dilute red that’s exceptionally pale if the lighting is messing with me, but from these photos he looks pretty dang cream to me.

The final stage of every OC's creation is having to go through websites like this to name it:

This lovely senior kittizen looks to be a red and black tortoiseshell with high white! Her eyes are round and full of love <3

Hey, if you're a minor and you're following my blog, I just need you to be aware:

You have been on this earth for fewer years than my cat has.

She turns 20 this week, everyone please say happy birthday 🥳💖
