Interesting that the left ear is nipped, usually that's a sign that it's a TNR cat (trap, neuter, return.) We were adopted by a TNR tuxedo cat last summer and he's been living on our property. He's the sweetest lump.

The cat makes me think of someone who had been in a fight before. Maybe this cat was fighting for love and lost an ear in the process? It would be interesting to read this cat's story!

The claws really add to that idea, giving a fierce wildness to the cat as if it's feral.

The heterochromia eyes are adorable, and I love the torn ear and the claws. The design is nice too! I have 1 of this cutie. ^u^

Well well, look who grew up? Yes, this is my cat!
I've been referring to them fondly as Catradiction, which is the closest this outcome has to a real name.

All these different ideas of a feral/war-like backstory are rad - although I'm afraid I don't have such a story to tell! In hindsight I wish I had gone with something with more depth, but I'm so glad people liked the outcome enough to hope it did have a story to go along with it anyways!

As for my creation process...
I wouldn't have been able to pull of an elaborate concept like some of my teammates - so instead as I was doodling I decided to challenge myself to try and piece together different features and attributes which otherwise might have contradicted each other in some way. That heart-covered fur wouldn't match those sharp-looking claws in a conventional design, or that torn-off ear (which I suppose also contradicts the other ear?), and clearly the eyes themselves don't match up, where one is light and the other dark.
The yellow-y eye also actually comes from my fursona! Linus shares the same eye colour - I always knew I wanted to put a bit of him in there somewhere. He's a dog too, so we have a hidden cat =/= dog contradiction going on as well.

Hence, Catradiction. Puns, amirite? 8D

Either way, I'm so glad to have come home to all these lovely comments about my kitty! Thank you everyone <3
