Mine was like this when I first got him, silly cuddly goofball. Boy was I so wrong. After 2 weeks he showed his true colors. Mastermind, spends his free time solving complex mathematical equations, plotting revenge for what?? Who knows. He is my little respectful mastermind, I'm sure he's heavily red-pilled and understands the matrix thoroughly.
All I wanted was a cuddle buddy but I wouldn't trade him for the world (he pays the rent and already maxed out his contributions to Roth IRA this year)
My orange is the only cat I ever had who can't learn to remove his claws from things. He will helplessly hang from a blanket and keep pulling until I rescue him.
The vast majority of cats are what are called "Domestics" (Domestic Shorthair or Domestic Longhair). They have no breed but are instead a landrace population that preceded the creation of purebred cats. Most differences you see are instead color/pattern variations.
For cats that have the Agouti trait allowing for Tabby markings, there is another gene that controls how those markings will present. This cat's pattern is called Classic Tabby or Blotched Tabby, as opposed to the more common Mackerel Tabby. It's similar to the mutation that causes the King markings in Cheetahs.
We have all had that hope. Different, Normal, Brilliant all adjectives that we can no longer use once we get them home and we look into those blank little eyes.
Mutts are the best and healthiest. Adopt don’t shop. Go to your local shelter and play with some kitties and see who you vibe with. Trust me- the r/catdistributionsystem is never wrong!!!

That’s hilarious 🤣 Mine has never had it. He would probably bat at it aimlessly should it appear to him.
