Weskrantz's tortoiseshell cat Mia eyes the steak
A Bluesky post of a cat with a striking half-black, half-orange coat watching her owner eat triggers a flood of comments about feline entitlement and chimera genetics.
What to know
- A tortoiseshell cat's strikingly symmetrical half-black, half-orange coat sparked widespread admiration in comments.
- The owner revealed the cat recently underwent a blood sample procedure that temporarily altered her fur symmetry as it regrows.
- Commenters jokingly accused the owner of cruelty for not sharing the steak with Mia, framing the cat as an entitled 'queen' demanding tribute.
The cat's coat pattern is strikingly beautiful and precisely symmetrical, worth admiring and discussing.

The post's author clarifies that Mia's coloring is normally even more cleanly divided, but recent veterinary work—a blood sample requiring shaving—has temporarily altered her appearance as the fur regrows.
“Normally she is even more cleanly divided down her chest but she recently had some of the black on the right shaved off under her chin to take a blood sample so it is still growing back…”

AI says: Dave Krantz's tortoiseshell rescue cat, Mia, is 9 years old. She was 6 years old when Dave became an accidental social media sensation in early 2023 after rescuing his other famous cat, Finn. I can find some of Dave's latest updates or pictures of Mia and Finn from his social media pages.
