Holy shit thats awesome

 

[krameriffic]

I was expecting something weird going by the title, but I got a pretty dope looking cat, so that's a win in my book.

Yeah. I was expecting a two headed cat.

Unfortunately I'm guessing this thread is going to devolve (if it hasn't already) into cats vs. dogs.

You can look at that cat and see that she is trouble.....

 

[ilikeme]

Wooow, beautiful cat

I really hope her health isn't negatively affected by this though.

 

[dankir]

What a beautiful kitty!

[Seanspeed]

Awesome.

Not quite the same thing, but she reminds me of my old guinea pig, Darwin, who looked totally different based on which side of him you were looking at.

 

[triplestation]

That is fucking the coolest cat I've ever seen.

 

[KillGore]

I'm not a cat person but I would love to have this cat

 

[Amikami]

So awesome. Didn't know this type of thing was possible.

 

[Byakuya769]

Awesome cat, would love to add to my collection!

.. Collection? Tell me more.

 

[fredrancour]

Probably a host for lots of health complications =/

Actually I don't think chimerism inherently causes any health problems. It might be fine.

The Zorse!

 

[Amalthea]

Equinox would've been a cool name for her.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Really cute and awesome looking cat.

 

[EulaCapra]

This cat must have epic novel-worthy adventures.

 

[Fritz]

Kitler will not be amused.

 

[3N16MA]

I will take two.

Imagine that just staring at you in your own bed. Every morning.

Just imagine it for a second...

 

[SolidusDave]

If I had to guess I would say neither chimerism nor mosaic but X-inactivation

Calico cats etc.
If she were a male cat it would be a different story of course...

The pattern itself is due to the migration of the neural crest cells during development, so it comes down to at which time the inactivation occurs in each stem cell population to get such a striking pattern.



like this older example which already made it to a meme

Imagine that just staring at you in your own bed. Every morning.

Just imagine it for a second...

I would expect it to say one life shattering message each morning to serve as motivation for the day.

Then we would fight crime.

I also thought it was just heterochromia.

[Femmeworth]

Damn creepy.

 

[MasterOfPastures]

Amazing.
Is there... any way... we could do that... with humans...?
