A Pallas cat - thank you. One of my exes bred Persians, another long hair flavor for you non-cat fanciers. But I've never had the memory capacity for taxonomies of any kind so I still have a lot of trouble remembering different breeds. It was sort of embarrassing when I would bring a feral to the shelter for TNR.

What kind of cat is it?
Umm, a dark one?

I've since become familiar with the more colloquial monikers - tiger/striped, tuxedo, etc. Still kinda fuzzy on calico.
Pallas cat or manul cat is a wild cat, not a domestic.

Mine's a 'Torby'...tortoiseshell + tabby

I believe calico is a multi color patchy coat that must include white, as opposed to tortoise shell which has no white, or a tuxedo which is black and white.
I was told that the white spots are due to a certain gene? IDK, I never dug into it.

Very cute kitty. I've been calling tabbies tiger stripe. I'm never going to get any of this down. On a certain level it can get quite amorphous - definitely with cross breeds and other "mutts."

Your kitty has huge rear paws but the ones in front are more dainty. He/she looks she would be affectionate.

As soon as I can get things in some sort of order, I'm getting a bonded pair of kittens. The house is big enough that they can get their zoomies on and not feel restrained. I could even give them access to the garage and basement. Lots of small dark spaces which I'm sure they'd love.

The only thing is that I don't like keeping them prisoners. The feral kittens I have now are always running about, jumping, playing. It seems like the ideal life for them especially with multiple warming stations. And I give them a variety of very high quality food. Recently I've gotten a new bottle of treats and even some dessicated chicken liver.
