The elusive Yak-cat

It's nearly impossible to get a picture of Gogo so y'all can see what a crazy looking animal she is. It's because she literally never sits still. She's always on the move. That photo up there? That's about as good as it's gonna get. But it doesn't nearly encompass the beautiful mess that is Gogo.

From a distance, she kinda looks like a normal cat.  Then you get a little closer and you see the crazy Grandpa Munster tufts of hair growing out from behind her ears.  Then you notice the tufts of grey-ish hair growing between her toes.  Gia calls them "piano key" toes.  Black and semi-white.

But it's the underneath that is truly strange.  Look at her two front legs in that picture up there.  Her front left leg looks pretty normal.  Typical black cat coat.  But her front right leg is showing the weird yak hair that she has all underneath.  A totally different kind of coat than the rest of her.  And, as you can plainly see, she's got a lot of that crazy yak hair going on.

This is a real yak.  See that crazy hair underneath?  That's what Gogo has.

She is the most unique looking cat I've ever seen.  Even if you can't really tell that from that first photo up there.
