This is Nyx. She's a shelter cat who has spend at least a portion of her life on the streets, and who we've adopted just recently. She has the softest long fur, but I have no idea what colour she is! She can appear any colour, from red to white to gray to black! Every single hair seems to be one colour (black? gray? red?) at the end, and white/pale gray near the skin. Her tail is positively red, though that might be sun damage from her time on the streets. Don't mind the bald spot on her tummy. Her hair hasn't grown back completely yet after she got fixed. Thank you!

WOW she's a neat one!! she's a black smoke with really visible ghost markings!! that reddening is definitely some sun bleaching from her time as a stray :p i'm NAWT in the business of guessing breeds but how prominent her smoke is, her face shape, and her deep eye color really stand out to me. i wouldn't be surprised if at least one of her parents was something purebred

Do white ghost-tabbies exist?

Depends on your definition of ghost, i guess.

I suspect the quality of the "stripe" hairs are still different in something (no idea what) than the "background" hairs even if both are completely pigmentless. So on certain pictures of white cats, i feel like i can very-very faintly see the prints of the tabby marks on the forehead. But maybe my eyes play tricks on me.

Lorre's Cat Café: Bernazsky

This elegant conspirator is a vigilante and a hero.

Bernazsky is not what he seems. His sleek black coat reveals tabby stripes in the sunlight. And all of his feline mischief serves a greater purpose. He is ever vigilant and quick to subtle sabotage.

He slips outside to track down homeless cats, or cat-deprived humans, and lead them back to our café. Bernie is our best recruiter.

He's also one of our best sentinels. He keeps a watchful eye on the café from where he sits or loafs elegantly, ready to counter any nefarious plots. When Pepi is on the mantel preparing to knock a heavy vase down onto Koening, Bernie slips over and kicks Pepi off first. When Abbott is preparing to trip a human at the top of the stairs, Bernie shoots out and sends Abbott rolling down the steps like a fluffy football.

Animal abusers, vicious dogs, and other scum around the neighborhood are continuously thwarted by Bernazsky.

The neo-Nazi meth lab that Berger was retrieved from? Bernazsky led the cops to it.

He deposites hairballs in the path of abusive customers who harass our barristas.

Bernazsky's passion is art. He lounges amongst the elegant antiques around the café, performing routine sniffs and rubbing his scent on every piece. And sometimes licks them (possibly to ensure their quality?). He favors the artistic humans, purring in their laps while they sketch and drink their lattes, or sitting on the paper they're trying to draw on. But when necessary, he won't hesitate to convert his favorite sculpture, vase or human into a weapon, and send them tumbling onto an enemy.

Bernazsky's feline besties are Moto, Slimane, Ugarte and Marius.

Life is super weird for all of us and I don’t have anything helpful or insightful to say so here is a photo of Bertie as a kitten overlooking the Woodlawn section of The Bronx.
