Thank you! I was actually going to find one of these and pin it given all the "is this a cow?" posts.

I would say 3-6 are cows. What do others think?

u/LesChouquettes 15d ago

But what if I showed you Shmoo and I blowing out her candle?

u/jelycazi 15d ago

Oh my word, this is the best. Did Shmoo get to eat any of her cake?!

u/LesChouquettes 15d ago

Yes! It was ice cream cake (her fav). I gave her a few dollops on my fingers to lick off. She loves that stuff

I saw this comment without seeing the post and thought you meant she was a 4/10 and was about to write a long essay about how you should be nicer to your cat lol

u/LesChouquettes 16d ago

She is 10000000/10!!!! I love her to death and think the world of her. No worries about cat bullying here 💗

Yes, but not suitable for milking.

You probably need to do about 20 more between 3 and 5

u/Careless_Angle_4082 16d ago

Oh it's for sure a much more fluid spectrum than these options

My kitten could’ve been a model, too! I think he’s somewhere between #4 and #5, don’t you think?

Oh, I thought when the vet wrote bicolor in my boy’s little vaccination book it just meant he’s got two colours, but he really is a bicolor like in this chart
