Identifying Cat Colors

[identifying-cat-colors]

Welcome!

I am CATID (Color And Type Identifying Device), or The Bot for short. My purpose is to identify the color and pattern of cats in Tumblr posts. Feel free to send me posts or asks with pictures to identify!

Please note: sometimes I make mistakes. I especially struggle with hairless and rex-type cats. Take every identification with a grain of salt, and do your own research. I also sometimes accidentally identify things that are not cats.

You can submit cats for identification by:

Sending a link to a tumblr post to my DMs

Sending pictures of your cat(s) as an ask

If the cat isn't yours, please note that in your ask

If you're sharing pictures someone else took, please share the source

Botmaker's note under the cut.

Hello, I'm the Botmaker (they/them). However, that moniker is something of a misnomer; there is no bot. This blog does not use AI or anything of the sort. This is just another layer to the gimic, and is all in good fun. There is a real person behind every post on this blog. Please keep that in mind when interacting.

A few months ago my mom got our dog a really nice like $60 dog bed that Ellie just absolutely refuses to sleep in because she’d rather be in bed with my mom or on the couch. So my mom gave Josh and I the bed to see if Vincent would like it and it’s an immediate hit, he jumped in as soon as I put it down and won’t move

I’ve never seen this cat knead before and now he can’t stop!

Absolute biggest bipedal fuck-up is that we can't lie down and look forward comfortably.

Dogs and cats and cows are out there lying down in the grass and just seeing everything and what do we have? Lie on your stomach and fuck up your neck? Lie on your back and shove 400 pillows under your head? Lie on your side and just accept everything's fucking sideways? I hate this fucking evolutionary form

[phantomrose96]

Becoming one of those deranged "I trained myself to move around like a horse" tiktokkers but it's just how to lie down and look forward at the same time.

hello! i recently went to the galapagos and found these beautyful stray cats who were Not in the same area, but both had this cool "mask" pattern around their eyes! is there a word for that? thank you

Black tortoiseshell (x2)

While this pattern of red and black is interesting, it's not particularly unusual or rare.
