Mother Nature can be genuinely amazing. Sometimes it might outdo even the most talented creative hands and minds. One need not look further than how it colors its animals in the most unexpected and original markings you can imagine. Pictures of animals with unique fur markings is a long standing tradition here at Bored Panda. Special honor is extended to cats in this regard, but is that really surprising? After all, cats truly have been the kings and queens of the internet. Let’s be honest, whose day wouldn’t get better after seeing a cat with a hipster’s mustache? When I look at pictures of Kitlers, I too reminisce about the olden days of the internet.
Yet, nowadays, it isn’t all about cats and their cute little paws. Other animals deserve to be represented and have their shot at being famous too! For that reason, we’ve sprinkled some other unique fur pattern owners in here. Which one captured your attention? Let us know in the comments!

Wow. What A Unique Beauty
Shazia Nguyen-Xuan 2 years ago
Genetic chimera! Happens in humans too! See the case of Lydia Fairchild
Fur color for cats and dogs is determined by their genes. Interestingly, there really are only two pigments: black and red. The rest are variations, and white is the absence of the two colors. Orange, brown and gray are dilutions of the two main pigments. All these other colors besides black and red develop because of mutations, modifiers and genetic factors.

So how does a cat get a permanent and natural zorro mask around its eyes? The science behind cat and dog genetics is pretty complex, but it generally comes down to dilution and coloration. A lot of the interesting markings on animals are just lucky ways pigment is distributed along the animal’s coat. The color of extremities ‒ face, feet, tail, ears, even nose ‒ can be influenced by temperature. Colder parts of the body are darker, while warmer parts tend to be lighter.

There are cases when strange markings on the fur can be alarming. The color of a pet’s coat might slightly change the older they get. New or unusual patches of color can indicate a more serious problem. Also observe the quality and thickness of your pet’s hair. If it’s diminishing or appears different from the usual, don’t hesitate to contact your veterinarian.

It’s a thing of true beauty to have a pet blessed with a unique fur pattern. Sadly, not every owner is so lucky. What to do if your furry friend lacks that oomph in the looks department? Custom looks can be created with pet outfits and accessories. Pet stores offer a wide variety of animal apparel. From sparkly bows to elaborate human-like suits, it’s now possible to play dress-up with your pet. Then again, what if you want to match your pet’s outfit to yours and that hot dog costume on your dachshund just isn’t enough?

Or a cat who's been splashed with a muddy puddle, seeing as the ground is wet and looks a similar colour to her spots.
As three different veterinarians have told Allure, it is medically safe to dye your pet’s hair. As long as non-toxic dyes are used, there should be no harm to pets. Although there is a moral dilemma: the coloring selfishly only benefits the owner, so should it be ethically okay? As with most things when it comes to our pets’ wellbeing, experts advise us to observe their behavior. If your dog or cat doesn’t like the process of getting their fur colored, they will surely let you know.

There are some things to look out for if you’ve decided to color your pet at home. Neater Pets advises to never use human hair dye on animals. If you’re determined to give your pet a colorful makeover, be sure to use dyes that are not permanent. Safe to use are natural food coloring, Kool-Aid or fur chalk. Permanent human hair dyes can contain bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Using those on your furry best friend might result in increased shedding, skin irritation or even chemical burns. Also keep in mind that your pet might ingest the dye that you’re using when licking themselves.

Natural food coloring is made from vegetables, fruits or flowers and shouldn’t pose any threat to your pet’s coat and skin. Kool-Aid is another safe option. This method works best on lighter-colored fur and will fade out in around two weeks. The shortest-lasting makeover you can give your pet is with fur chalk. It washes out easily with shampoo and is designed specifically for fur dying.

Scrappy’s Coat Pattern Started Getting White When He Was 7 Years Old. Most Likely, This Is Due To A Rare Skin Condition Vitiligo (Extremely Rare In Cats)

I'd be really curious if this is actually vitiligo and not a graying or roaning gene. This not a typical presentation of vitiligo. I suspect the former in that it's a graying gene. Similar to what happens to most gray horses. They start out dark and get grayer as they get older

The safest way to color your pet, of course, is to go to a professional. Groomers that are trained in coat dying will take the best care of your beloved fur ball. It’s guaranteed they’ll use only non-toxic products that will cause no harm and will make a lot less mess than you would in your home bathroom. The aesthetic outcome should be more pleasing as well, after all, these people are experts and have years of experience doing this kind of thing.

Some states in the US have banned dying pets’ coats. Among them are Colorado, Florida, Maine and South Carolina.

There’s reportedly some leeway when it comes to enforcing these laws, but it is still technically illegal.

Some cats are naturally more lean-built, and lots of the ones you see in the media are overweight. He seems to be a bit thin, but it also seems he's an outside cat (please don't keep your cats outside) so he's probably running and climbing a lot more, keeping him thinner

Sweet little boy, I do love bulls and cows they're such adorable and loving beings. As a student I worked in the Swiss Alps during summer vacations taking care of cows and goats with a couple. The couple were cheese makers. City dwellers have no idea how lovely are farm animals. Unfortunately I live in a city and miss very much my alpine friends. Cows, sheep, goats are brought to pastor on the Alps rich grasses and flowers which give very delicious milk and delicate cheeses.

Never got the experience in a place like you have, though my family did have some cows and goats…the bull had a problem with the truck we used to transport the hay, he would stand beside it and size it up. Sometime head butting it to make sure the truck knew it’s place, they’re such inquisitive and loving animals otherwise!

What a stupid reason to rehome a dog.

This Spooky Cat Is Called A Lykoi. They Have A Naturally Occurring Fur Pattern Which Results In No Undercoat And A Constantly Changing Fur Pattern
They are often called "Werewolf Cats".
Alisa LaVine 2 years ago
AI generated info: The Lykoi cat, also known as the "wolf cat" or "werewolf cat", is a rare breed of cat. The Lykoi cat has a genetic mutation that causes its hair to grow in a werewolf-like way. The skin around the cat's eyes, muzzle, and chin is hairless, making it resemble a human-turned-werewolf. The Lykoi cat is a relatively new breed that originated from the domestic short-haired cat via natural mutation. It is estimated that this mutation developed over about 20 years. The Lykoi cat's name comes from the Greek word lykos, or wolf. The Lykoi
Sylvia Weiss 2 years ago
Not every mutation is good. I don´t think that this "feature" is good for the cat (like other unhealthy features like short legs, folded ears, no tail and so forth). PLEASE think what it means for the cat - if you realy love them. Don´t breed "every" mutation just because it is new, unusual - and (in the case of for example Lykoi) you can make money with them. When you are looking for an "unusual" cat - inform yourself before you decide. Some of these features are mutations with a high price - some of those cats have no high expectation of beeing healthy or becoming old !
Stephanie Did It 2 years ago
Lykois were purposely bred by a veterinarian, from parent cats that had been thoroughly examined and tested for disease or genetic flaws. One recessive gene affects the coat which can shed and grow back but lacks an undercoat. They've been accepted by cat associations as a legitimate breed and are very sweet.
