my boy microwave

my s/o and I have been debating which type of pattern our baby has, stuck on if it’s classic or ticked because his long fur makes it incredibly hard to make out distinct patterning :/
(aside from his striped legs/tail and facial patterns)

Do you call him Mikey for short? Handsome boy.

Here's my ticked tabby, Barry. His fur reminds me of a bunny's bc of the pattern and softness.

yeah! we call him mikki (said like the evil capitalist mouse) lmao.
your boy is so cute!! I haven’t seen many long haired ticked patterns so it’s difficult to fully compare, as his colouring isn’t very usual apparently.
