Photo Hunt: Monochrome (Sort Of)

March 9, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat30 Comments

This was a hard one for me because none of us kitties is monochrome! Typically tortie Binga, in fact, is anything but:

It's like somebody poured several cans of paint on her fur!

And Boodie, being Meezer-ly, is bicolor, not monochrome:

Like Queen Victoria, she is not amused.

And my fur? Each strand is a bunch of different colors! The semi-technical term for it is “agouti,” or “ticking.”

Yes, I am looking at you. And judging

Although I am a cat of many colors, to the human eye they do blend together. And I seem to blend into some of the furniture around here (which I like, because it makes it harder for my human to find me). So this is about the best I can do:

Can you SEE me?

    Whenever I see Binga, I can’t get over how much she looks like an old favorite cat I used to have.

    I think you look great “blending” into the furniture. Mommy loves all the delicate shadings in an agouti kitty’s fur. A rainbow of browns. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.

    Yep, I can see you. Faith had ticking too. You’d never blend into the furniture.

    Blending in with the surroundings to hide from the human is very desirable Sparkle 😉

    It must be hard to be a monochrome cat because even all black cats will usually have the odd stray white hair (even if they are hard to find).

    The only monochrome kitties that we have are the orange or ginger ones. That was a good description of your colors though. Have a great day.

    Very creative approach, Sparkle! We think you all have lovely colours although we are of course rather partial to agouti ticking…

    None of my cats are monochrome too.

    I had one totally white and another totally brown, but they are not here anymore. T^T
