My 'basic' brown cat is apparently super rare

So I've been walking around for three years thinking I have the most ordinary house cat ever. Milo is just... brown. Not tabby, not tortoiseshell, just solid chocolate brown fur. I used to joke that he's the Toyota Camry of cats - reliable but boring. Turns out I've been living with a genetic lottery winner this whole time. Brown cats are actually incredibly rare because the gene combination needed is super specific. Most 'brown' cats are actually dark tabbies when you look closely, but true solid brown? That's like finding a unicorn at the shelter. Now I'm looking at Milo sleeping in his cardboard box (because of course he ignores his $50 bed) and feeling like I accidentally adopted a celebrity. He's still the same lazy potato who steals my pizza crusts, but now he's a RARE lazy potato. Anyone else discover their pet was secretly special? #RareCats #BrownCat #PetFacts #Pets #Cats
