In 1997, a man named David unknowingly purchased a black cat that would eventually develop a stunning marble pattern on its fur. Recalling the first encounter with the cat, David shared, “Scrappy was a beautiful cat, but we didn’t think others would find him as cute as his siblings. I decided to take him home knowing he might not be the first choice for adoption.” The cat’s fur started turning white at the age of 7, most likely due to the rare genetic mutation called vitiligo, which has no impact on the cat’s health. Now 19 years old, the black and white cat named Scrappy is healthy, happy, and known for his feisty demeanor in the neighborhood. Despite being a diva and sometimes grumpy, Scrappy shows affection towards David, his adoring owner. David cherishes their bond, and considers himself lucky to be the only one able to cuddle with Scrappy. With his unique appearance and strong personality, Scrappy truly stands out as a majestic and beloved feline companion.
Even though he was adorable, we didn’t believe that others would find him as irresistibly cute as his brothers and sisters.
I chose to adopt Scrappy because I had a feeling he might not have been chosen by anyone else.
At the age of 7, the cat’s fur began to turn white, most likely due to a skin condition called vitiligo.
This doesn’t impact the cat’s well-being at all, and the 19-year-old feline is still going strong!
Yep, that’s the origin of his name: “Even though he’s older, he still gets into little scuffles with the local cats…”
I suppose you could say he’s the king of the neighborhood.
“Scrappy is quite the character! He can be a bit of a diva when it comes to getting his picture taken, as he often prefers to face the opposite direction.”
There are moments when he can be a bit cranky too.
“He disrupts my sleep with his incessant meowing, often at odd hours… he will cry out to be allowed outside.”
However, the man simply adores his fur baby and mentions that Scrappy is incredibly loving towards him.
The only individual allowed to give Scrappy belly rubs is the man.
After laying eyes on the stunning grumpy cat who resembles a Nordic god, we can’t help but feel a tinge of envy!
