What kind of cat is this?

The one with the “textured” fur, not the big fat tabby.

They are both cartoon cats.

Well, what cat was the cartoon cat modeled after?

It may just be a generic fluffy cat or maybe it’s a Selkirk Rex.

Rex cats have curly fur like that. They tend to be slender and pixie-faced, not chunky like the drawing. But if you’re asking about the knobby fur, that would be my guess.

Yeah, curly fur indicates Rex but the body type is wrong. I think maybe it’s supposed to be a long haired kitten whose hair is messy and needs some grooming.

Live action version

I think Stormy is supposed to be the same sort of cat as Pusheen, except a kitten. Kittens are usually really fuzzy. It could just be that in-comic they’re adopted by the same people, but usually they refer to Pusheen as Stormy’s little sister.

Also why doesn’t stormy have whiskers?

Looks like one of those designer cats bred specifically to have freakishly short legs.

Kittens are fluffy. The drawing indicates fluffiness. The cartoon kitten was modeled after the generic concept that kittens are fluffy.

Stormy, the kitten there, is modeled after a real cat and the breed is Siberian (which only comes in semi-longhair and longhair versions).

They’re supposed to be genetically disposed towards producing less allergens and apparently it worked quite well for the owners, who haven’t had any allergy issues with Stormy.

Pusheen is a generic tabby cat if I remember right. She lives with the parents of the people that have Stormy.

You seem to be acquainted with these kitties. What comic are they from?

Looking at the pic again I see it’s a blog called Pusheen (*look *at the whole picture WOOK :smack: )

What are its origins? Is it well known? I must say it does grow on one.

We have a winner! :slight_smile:

The cat’s just lying there in a basket, minding its own business, when suddenly YOINK!

I would say that Pusheen is pretty well known ;).

Is Pusheen good?

Awright you guys, I’m sensing a big old WHOOOOSH here. 'splain the Pusheen.

The bigger the cusheen, the sweeter the pusheen.

I could actually feel that kitteh’s psychic commands to slay the handler!

Oooorrrr maybe I just need to check my meds.
