Cats are beautifully unique creatures, but you probably already knew this. Most cats are born with some kind of pattern or marking on their fur, but some cats are born with super unique markings that make them stand out all the more! It's a one in a million chance, but considering that there are zillions (rough estimate) of cats in the world, it's no surprise.

This series of 22 cats with amazingly unique fur patterns challenges norms, and celebrates the beauty of individuality. Far too often we forget to celebrate what makes us unique, so we are taking this moment to say it loud and clear: embrace your imperfections, and celebrate yourself in all of your awesome glory!

The genetics of cat coat coloration, pattern, length (short, medium or long), and texture is a complex subject, and many different genes are involved. Cat coat genetics can produce a variety of colors and coat patterns. Somehow this cat's genetics produced amazingly unique coat of love.

Cats are pretty recognizable by their breeds – calicos are orange, black, and white, Siamese are grey and white, and tabbies are orange. We love all cats no matter what size, shape, or color they are. But some cats are just born with extra special patterns that deserve a little extra attention. Like this one for example!
