Not sure what you call this kind of cat but I had one for 20+ years and it was just the raddest little dude ever, made people who didn't like cats turn into cat lovers. He was just always very friendly and sociable. He could handle himself in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Had street smarts, would send dogs away yelping, was really smart, and didn't even let out a whimper that one time he came back from the vacants with his clearly broken leg draggin around.

Can't believe I still didn't know that, after all these years.

The coloration is ' tabby ' -- in this case not pure tabby cuz sooo much white belly to snuggle!

Oh, definitely heard that one a lot. Mine was almost exactly same coloring as this. Quite black and white striping and white belly too. Thanks!
