I am very baffled by this kitten. Blue sepia with moderate white?

(Terribly sorry if I submitted this twice. I can't remember if I had already sent the pictures.)

(This isn't my cat, someone showed me these pictures, so unfortunately I can't get any from other angles.)

Yep that's blue sepia with white. really pretty!

Who is the youngest cat in your Clans, and who is your oldest? Have you drawn them yet?

Larkkit (Mountainclan) is the youngest at less than a moon old, and Horsewhisper (Caveclan) is the oldest, being at least 16 years old!

I have drawn Horsewhisper seperatly already because he's a medicine cat but I still need to draw Larkkit (tho he is in the alliances for Mountainclan)

Have you seen how natu hops around in its walk cycle? It’s so cute!!! Natu is so round and cute and how it reads the fortunes in the anime with the coins and does a cute little bird bath I just think it’s wonderful and so underrated. What underrated pokemon do you like?

oh my gosh I’d have to go with inkay!! i love that little nugget and its cute little face ;0; it just looks so happy and bouncy and i LOVE the psychic/dark type combo. it’s a floating squid and i think that’s just the best

...and the shiny form is so pretty!!

hi!! i adore your content ;_; sorry to be a bother-

i've been having an argument with someone who has bred "ACTUAL brown cats" all her life (aka havana brown; chocolate cats) and has decided that this here cat (from a video) is "red or dark-orange". i believe it's a cinnamon cat, but i still 100% would consider it 'brown'. thoughts? 😓 i understand calling it reddish-brown, but red..?

That's a cinnamon cat. Cinnamon is a melanin mutation of chocolate, who is a mutation of black. Nothing to do genetically with red. Calling this cat red is wrong

There's no way warrior cats got a family genetically accurate, right? Is this the first time?

I'm gonna have to look back to Slatefur's littermates but his own litter is in fact, 100% genetically accurate.

Graystripe's first litter was also genetically accurate but I mean, it's easier to do with JUST two kits

What is the rarest cat gene that you know of?

Whatever caused that Thai cat to look like that (the one with the dark eyebrows and dorsal stripe that is otherwise cream) and the REAL Moscow Mutation cat. Only one case of both in the whole world, though I did recently see a picture of a black and white cat online that looked really similar to the Moscow Mutation.

As for slightly more """common""" genes I'd say genes like amber and carnelian that are limited specific breeding lines in specific breeds. And Karpati of course.

How would you go about designing a genetically accurate Garfield? Is it even possible for an orange cat to have black stripes?

I've answered this one before!

He's a black golden mackerel tabby British Shorthair. No I won't accept criticism.

I hope this isn't a bother but I really hope you're having a good day<3

This ask is the perfect opportunity for me to update all my followers:

So mentally, I'm doing decent! I'm going back to vet school, I'm taking driving lessons (actually drove home for the first time yesterday!!) and in 2 weeks I have my first appointment at the gender clinic yeehaw (after 6 years of being diagnosed with GD and 3 years on a waiting list)

But my anhedonia has grown extreme. I can't do anything to relax, drawing has been impossible for a few weeks now. I can't play games or anything either, it's like a huge mental block that won't go away. I'm trying but it's just too much. I WANT to draw but I can't.

My physical health has also gone down the drain. I have an undiagnosed disorder that causes me to not be able to digest most foods (only meat and fish). It's progressive but in the last I'd say... 2 months it's rapidly gotten to the point where I can barely eat anything now. The waiting list for diagnostics is also 6 months long. Since my intestines don't digest the food, I'm barely getting any nutrients at all, so my joints are constantly in horrible pain and I'm fatigued 24/7. Eating means pain and nausea for hours now. Again, only fish and meat are still safe, but, not to be extremely political but to be extremely political, v*gan lobbying in my country has raised the prices for animal-based products to extremes so we just can't afford it. And the prices are still rising and won't stop rising until all those lobbyists are kicked out of our government (which sadly isn't happening) so yeah.
