21 Fabulous Felines With Unique and Rare Fur Patterns and Markings

Just like snowflakes, each cat is purrfectly unique. They all have slightly different coloring or patterns in their fur, different speckles in their eyes, and even different colors of toe beans! Even the standard-issue cats all have slightly different brown and black patterns. But there are some that are born with a slightly rarer twist, like being born with curly hair or being abnormally floofy. In our purrsonal opinion, there's no such thing as too much floof, but then again, we've never owned a superiorly floofy cat like a Norwegian forest cat.

Every cat in this post has something that separates them from the rest - it could be anything from a heart on their sides to an outline of a cat on a cat! It sounds weird, but when you see it, you'll get what we're talking about. But even if your cat wasn't born with any of these rare traits, don't worry, your cat is still beautiful. They're still purrfect. These ones are just… different!

Well, that certainly makes us giggle. We're not allowed to talk about what it looks like, but let's just say it looks very… furmiliar. And you know what? We can honestly say we've never seen a cat with that purrticular marking in that purrticular area.

Wow! That cat is actually red. Like, fresh out of the hair salon, red. We're sure it's just the light bouncing off of their slightly red-hued fur, but our black cat doesn't look like that in any lighting. That is unique. If all black cats looked like that, they might be adopted more. Adopt more black cats, people, they're the best!
