This is Ming ming. He is a 'pusakal' (pusang-kalye) who was born in our house. He goes out at night doing who knows what and does basic pest control in our house. Sometimes, he would pick fights with other cats who enter our house (but he usually gets beaten and runs up to the second floor xD). He also likes to tease our dogs by walking very slowly when he passes by their cage... Yeah, he's mean...
His current whereabouts are unknown...He has not returned for a long time... I believe that he now rests in peace...
About Tabby Cats
A tabby is any domestic cat that has a coat featuring distinctive stripes, dots, lines or swirling patterns, usually together with a mark resembling an 'M' on its forehead. Tabbies are sometimes erroneously assumed to be a cat breed. In fact, the tabby pattern is found in many breeds, as well as among the general mixed-breed population. The tabby pattern is a naturally occurring feature that may be related to the coloration of the domestic cat's direct ancestor, the African wildcat, which (along with the European wildcat and Asiatic wildcat) has a similar coloration.
