In 1997, a man named David purchased a black cat, unaware that one day its fur would develop a marbled pattern. According to David, he wasn’t sure if Scrappy, as he named the cat, would be considered as cute as his siblings, but he chose him anyway. Over time, Scrappy’s coat began to turn white when he was seven years old. Experts believe that this is due to vitiligo, a genetic mutation that rarely occurs in felines. Despite Scrappy’s age, he still enjoys roughhousing with the neighborhood cats and has earned himself the title of street ruler. Although Scrappy can be quite grumpy at times, his owner adores him and finds him to be very affectionate. David is the only one allowed to rub Scrappy’s belly, and many people envy his beautiful and majestic pet.

Scrappy is quite the character! He can be a bit of a diva at times, especially when it comes to taking photos. Unfortunately, he doesn’t always cooperate and tends to look in any direction except towards the camera.
