These Animals Look Like They're Wearing Designer Coats!
7.A Kitten With A Heart On Its Nose
The unique heart-shaped nose of this cat marks a wonderful similarity to its canine relative discussed earlier. Given a small area like a kitten's nose, the accuracy of the heart form makes this marking especially amazing. Although they are somewhat unusual in animals, natural heart-shaped patterns are especially unique when they show up on a major facial feature.
8.A Cat With A... Unique Mark
One of the more rare instances of natural patterns in animals, this cat's unique arrow marking at an odd spot Since such precisely defined directional forms are rare in natural fur patterns, the arrow marking's placement and accuracy make it especially interesting. Although the exact placement of the marking has spurred many funny remarks, it shows how randomly occurring genetic expressions can produce remarkably exact geometric forms in animal fur patterns.
9.Someone's Cat Randomly Started Turning Grey
Scrappy's case offers a fascinating illustration of age-related colour variations in cats. Grey spots beginning at age seven point to either vitiligo or, as several readers pointed out, the expression of a greying gene like what causes humans to go grey with age.
Against the natural fur colour, the random arrangement of the grey patches produces an arresting snow-like pattern. This gradual colour shift is especially fascinating since it shows how, as they age, cats—like humans—can undergo notable physical transformations. From a genetic as well as an aesthetic standpoint, the evolution of the pattern throughout time makes this case very intriguing.
10.A Two-Faced Feline
Venus is an amazing example of chimaera colouration; its face shows a flawless bilateral divide between black and orange fur, matched by heterochromia (different coloured eyes). Venus is especially unique even among chimaera cats because of its amazing mix of elements. The exact divide down the middle of the face and the different eye colors—one especially brilliant blue—have a strong visual impact. The way both colours stretch into the body with black dots among the mostly orange fur points to a complicated genetic mosaic.
This cat is a remarkable illustration of how genetic chimerism can show itself in cats since the existence of heterochromia in combination with the split-face colouration offers solid proof for the chimeric character of Venus's DNA.
These distinctive marks show the amazing range and accuracy that can arise in natural animal patterns, hence producing living works of art that still enthrals people all over.
