Meet Scrappy the cat! This 17 year old cat has some extraordinary markings. He is now a black and white cat but when he was born he was completely black.
According to Scrappy's Facebook page: "Scrappy was born in 1997 as a black cat and only a few years ago he started turning white (maybe vitiligo) and has ended up with this extraordinary pattern."
