He's a lovely cat and very exotic. A feline Dalmation, I think...  :-:

Looks to me as though someone got carried away in a computer art prog and stuck lots of blobs on his pic!  :wow:

Wonder if it is where he has had injuries and the hair has grown back white ?

The first pic makes him look like it is a medical thing, but mustn't be or they would have metioned it.

How very odd - I've never seen markings like that before.  They almost look like cigarette burns or something.  But I guess they'd have said if the white spots were a result of anything like that.

Well I can't figure it out at all...  :shy:

If they were injuries, you'd expect a uniform size in the spots. And they would have pointed this out if it was suspected - it would help his publicity. But this looks like he's been flicked with a paintbrush.

Very pretty, though. Imagine having a cat like that? You'd be the envy of the neighbours!  :wow:

i can't either - Pebbles had been hit by a car in her younger years, and when she was shaved for her amputation, there were obvious dots and scars on her skin, but it didn't affect her fur.

That hadn't occurred to me.

There are some evil barstewards in the world!  >:(

I hope it's something innocent.

I want to take in all the cats in the world! I hate the little pics that now appear on the index page, it make me want to give them all a cuddle and take them home.  :Luv:

RATS! Not enough money and two resident moggies who'd complain.  :tongue 2:
