Are they Chimeric? I've never seen such a clear division between tuxedo and tortoiseshell patterns like that.
Assuming it's real, I think it would have to be as chimera. I don't even think an extra chromosome would explain this. I'm oversimplifying a little, but the genetics when it comes to the black/brown coloration is either "tabby" or "not tabby", and "tabby" is dominant, so as long as it received one copy of "tabby", every part of the coat that isn't white should be tabby.
The blue eyes are even weirder, and make me lean towards calling it fake. It is quite well done though, if it is fake.
Edit: found a post, looks pretty damn real. Any insight on the blue eyes?
Absolutely adorable! I know a cat that's mostly white but his tail is all stripy. So I always ask him who'd he switch tails with and wiggle his tail about.
Thank god this isn't Reddit where we'd learn how that cat has a rare sickness and only a few months to live.
Yes, on Lemmy it can have a nice, stress free life. until cancer strikes unexpectedly to the throat. With a knife.
Just time your parry.
On Lemmy we just point out his very troubling social media presence.
Dum Dums Mystery flavor.
That roight thar is a bunyip.
What's up with the grey eyes? Sure it's not a photoshop
Oh yeah the sclera is weird
Could be why they're at the vet.

This is what happens when you try to pull out, but you're not fast enough.
