In the process of trying to find *the* cat that resembles my pet the most, I decided it'd be easier to look at all of them on one page and that other would probably appreciate the resource!
I'm going to go by year and month first, so please don't post in this thread until I'm finished! I'm also sorting cats by color, markings, breed, and mutation later in the thread and would like help doing so! I added all 2nd and 3rd gen parents; help with GUPPS and RPPPS identification would be appreciated!
Shoutout to @paprikat for catching a huge error (I missed an entire litter!)
Feel free to PM me about any errors. Feel free to help sort the cats I've amassed into their categories (Pages 3-5). Just shoot me a PM with the formatting and I'll add it right in!
Realistic cats must have both a realistic color and a realistic pattern or realistic markings. If a cat has a realistic color, say gray, but an unrealistic marking, say a forwny face, then it would be deemed unrealistic and not included.
Realistic colors include: white, gray, black, cream, taupe, brown, "realistic" yellow, "realistic" orange, reddish brown, "russian" blue, etc
Unrealistic colors include: all neon colors, green, red, purple, blue, "unrealistic" yellow, "unrealistic" orange, pink, teal, cyan, magenta, metallic gold, metallic silver, etc
