Joe punching a cat with a strange but smart white stripe

do you think said cat crawled under a wet painted fence?

That'll teach it for being stripey

S - hahaha!

did you touch the stripe

The stripe's part of his fur. It's a curious marking; maybe his fur turned white there following an injury.

very odd

Scar stripe is the best guess. We have a wee black kitty across the road who has a perfect white bracelet around one back paw and a few other white spots from his rough living as a street cat - almost lost the paw by way of taking refuge in a car motor. Fortunately, a talented veterinarian saved it, and him.

I like it!

Now I'm wondering what kind of accident befell him :( It seems a fairly strange place for a cat injury.

It is a rather neat marking and he (or she) is a very friendly cat.

Given the location, I would suspect a kidney injury or perhaps birth defect that needed to be corrected.

I hope it was caused by surgery, rather than, say, an axe falling on him!
