Cool cat!
Never saw one with a pattern like that.
Not uncommon among Boston cats
That scarab-on-the-forehead and spots-on-the-body patterning is typical of a breed called the Egyptian Mau, which actually has its origins from mostly North American breeds like the Maine Coon.
And there's a lot of that DNA mixed into the general Boston cat population. Our dearly beloved Mama (who lived almost a quarter century) and several of her offspring were originally feral Boston polydactyls, and they sported the scarab and at least a few stripes-breaking-up-into-spots.
This isn't right, just funny
Bengal cats
That looks like a Bengal.
It's possible, but...
But Bengals tend to have pretty large spots and rosettes (like big 'O's) not smaller spots like that cat seems to. And Bengals have striped legs and tails. You can't see that cat's tail, but the forearm looks speckled, not striped. Smaller spots and more of them usually means an EM.
The Bengal breed actually comes from crossing Egyptian Maus with small wild Leopard cats.
Adorable!
Moichendising!
I feel like someone with better design skills than I needs to find a way to turn this into a Uhub shirt, or coffee mug, or some such. Obviously, Elmer would get a cut of the profits for being the official barometer of what is, and is not, adorable.
At times, riding the T does
At times, riding the T does seem like a Lewis Carroll nightmare.
Rabbit: "Oh my whiskers! I shall be late!"
Cat : "Dude, it's the B line - you were expecting speed? Mellow out."
Is Denim Delicious?
Those jeans have been ruined by bunny's incessant chewing!
Well if I happened to board
Well if I happened to board that car, I'd experience an asthma attack in about 5 minutes. Cats can trigger but rabbits most definitely trigger trouble breathing for me.
Not sure when it happened because as a child I had no problems, then one day in a pet store that had pets like rabbits running loose so kids could pat and I wasn't breathing in about 5 minutes. My then 4 year old was in the store petting rabbits and I had my head outside the door trying to breath and get my daughter out.
I love animals but I like many others would have serious problem boarding that particular car. I'd rather those riders with animals stay (they were there first) and I'd go to another car, but what if one wasn't available?
The air quality on the MBTA
The air quality on the MBTA is equivalent health wise to working in a turn of the century heavy metals smelter. I'm shocked you don't have daily issues with the unholy mix of fowling underground and recirculated into the trains but have relatively clean pets trigger episodes.
I wouldn't think it's unusual
I wouldn't think it's unusual at all. I'm allergic to some furs or dander and rabbits especially trigger asthma.
Wrong ride
Shouldn’t the rabbit be on the hop-on, hop-of trolley?
A little too early
to be promoting Easter, if you ask me.
What happens when the rabbit
What happens when the rabbit poopin' starts shootin' ? Seems like it would be difficult to contain.
A lot of rabbits are litter
A lot of rabbits are litter box trained just like cats. I think a rabbit trained to use a leash would be litter box trained as well. Just a thought.
