when a man named David walked into a
0:03
shelter in 1997 he was excited to meet
0:06
Scrappy a tiny jet black kitten right
0:09
away he knew they were destined for a
0:11
life full of adventures together David
0:14
never could have foreseen that around
0:17
his new Pal's 7eventh birthday he would
0:19
undergo a transformation unlike anything
0:21
anyone's ever seen what happened to
0:24
Scrappy would make him one of the most
0:25
unique house cats around now the
0:28
19-year-old one-of aind senior Scrappy
0:32
has fans all over the
0:50
world in 1997 Scrappy was just your
0:54
average black shelter cat and that's
0:56
exactly why a man named David decided to
0:58
bring him home he he feared that if he
1:00
didn't no one would black cats are
1:03
notoriously difficult to adopt thank
1:06
goodness David found him when he did and
1:09
thus they began their long and Happy
1:12
Friendship but around Scrappy's 7th
1:15
birthday something very strange started
1:18
to happen David's beloved shelter cat
1:21
underwent an astounding and completely
1:23
unexpected transformation his once black
1:27
fur became splotched with
1:31
white it's believed that the change was
1:33
all thanks to veigo a skin condition
1:36
that affects pigmentation you might have
1:38
heard of people who suffer from the same
1:40
condition such as Pop Legend Michael
1:43
Jackson however cats can also suffer
1:46
from the disorder though it happens so
1:49
rarely that David had to take Scrappy to
1:51
a specialist in order to confirm his
1:53
unique diagnosis now at age 19 this
1:57
one-of-a-kind cat wasn't going to let
2:02
down I guess you could say he rules the
2:04
street and every other cat stays away
2:07
David said we named him Scrappy because
2:10
he picks scraps with other cats Scrappy
2:13
might have been tough on Interlopers but
2:17
David Scrappy is a total diva he isn't
2:20
the best cat to take photos of as most
2:23
of the time he looks the other way said
2:25
David it sounded like David was going to
2:27
have to start paying his favorite model
2:28
in catnip if wanted him to pay attention
2:32
huh David even thought Scrappy's
2:34
speckled coat made him look like some
2:36
sort of a Nordic God put that way it
2:40
sure sounds like maybe someone has been
2:41
spending a little too much time with
2:45
cat Nordic God or not he was definitely
2:48
a unique cat that's for sure just one
2:51
glare at Scrappy and you can see why his
2:54
owner adored him so darn much he seemed
2:56
like the sweetest and most playful Kitty
3:00
Scrappy's uniquely colored coat wasn't
3:02
the only thing about him that was just a
3:05
little bit different either if left to
3:07
his own devices Scrappy has been known
3:08
to sneak onto the kitchen table and try
3:13
banana like many of his feline brothers
3:15
and sisters Scrappy relished spending
3:17
time curled up inside boxes like the one
3:20
pictured below doesn't his expression
3:22
just say it all that's one cat who is
3:28
Cloud9 Scrappy is beautiful no he has
3:31
more than 148,000 followers on his
3:34
Instagram page so the world seems to
3:36
agree Scrappy is the best
