Magical Kitties lovers, we need your help! We're working on a cute and useful Kitty Colors Poster to help indecisive players pick their favorite kitty to play. We want to include breed names and patterns/colors/markings, but we didn't keep track of which kitty is which!
Is it a Korat, Russian Blue, or a fawn domestic shorthair? Is that a blaze, a stripe, or a star on its face? Are those white socks or a full tuxedo? Help us decide! They're numbered so you can tell us how we should describe them on the poster, and help save the day!
#5 in the top right corner looks like my cat so I’d say it’s a tortoiseshell cat. (AKA Tortie). Looks like it could be the brindled coat pattern, but could also be changed into the tabby pattern (known as a Torbie) if the V on her head is changed into more of an M shape. Fun fact: almost all torties are female.
And if anyone has anything to add or correct, feel free to do so!
#6, #9, #35, #38 and #39, look like they have grey tabby colouration. #35 could also be a brown tabby. #8 looks like a diluted calico for colouration. #24 could also be a diluted calico, but could also be the classic calico as it looks like it’s in the shadows. #10 and # 30 look like tuxedo colouration. #31 and #36 look like point colouration. #31 looks like it could be a blue point or lilac point. #36 looks like a seal point or my favourite, chocolate point.
As for breeds, #31 and #36 could be a Siamese, Balinese, Thai, or Tonkinese breed. Could also be a medium-haired Tonkinese/Tibetan. #34 could be a bengal cat breed. Coat pattern could be a weird combo of spots and stripes. It could also be an ocicat. #14 reminds me of a Russian blue. They have a silvery blue coat and green eyes.
I don’t know why, but #23 has Norwegian Forest Cat vibes. They are also called Skogkatt. #7 - cat’s don’t typically have white spots like that (usually the opposite), so it could be a grey colour that’s turning white from vitiligo.
I was looking for something similar. I am looking Cat playing card decks to fit the bill. They also make a few other backyard animals and dog breed decks that i was also looking into. Using them like other rpg use decks of "Face cards" for NPCs. There was also a small card game called Name that Kitty that has a deck of kitty pictures and a deck of names that seem like it good be a good source of inspiration for a new GM or younger players that may struggle with theater of the mind. Just thought I would share.
The Action Cats card game by Keith Baker is basically a bunch of kitty photos. Another good accessory for helping indecisive players pick a character in MK! Plus it's a fun game in itself, too.
I found a great and cheap solution for a getting bunch of cat pics for inspiration. Amazon sells those stickers that people put on wattle bottles and computers. I got a 300 pack of assorted cute animal stickers for $10. So i can create a recurring squirrel NPC with a pic and any other animal i want. As an added bonus, i can let my nieces pick a sticker to keep when they play.
