Here's a tabby tummy for you! I love how Lily's stripes and white "diamond" patterns show when she is in this position.
Did you know that kitties with gray fur are considered "blue" by official feline standards? There are also four kinds of tabby patterns: mackerel, classic, spotted, and ticked. Lily is a mackerel tabby, because she has gently curving vertical stripes on her sides (resembling fish bones). The nickname for this type of tabby is McTabby. So Lily, in official cat terms, is a Blue McTabby!
But of course, she is just Lily to us!
Awwww! She looks so sweet. Don't you just love it when they sleep in odd positions? Isn't it also a sign of real trust when they expose their belly like that?
ReplyDeleteI love McTabby tummies!
ReplyDeleteAw, she looks like my Sheba, so maybe she is a Blue McTabby too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it when pets sleep with all 4 legs in the air like that; it is SO cute:)
ReplyDeleteThat's a very sweet tummy! My Tucker like to lay like that and get belly rubs.
