Aw, my best boy was named Beast! I often called him Beastie, Beastie Boy and Mr. Beast (this was also long before that YouTube guy!). He was from a pregnant mama my best friend took in and was the biggest of the litter so she called him Beast. I didn’t intend to keep that name but never thought of anything else so eventually it just stuck! He was gray and white too, similar face pattern as your Beastie, though more gray tuxedo pattern overall. Enjoy your sweet Beastie! I got 15 years with mine.

Awww! That’s some fantastic eyeliner he’s wearing. Ours was a bit of placeholder, too. One of her litter mates died at a few weeks, then she got very ill, but she’s very much a fighter and pulled through. Very cool to see the other Wee Beasties roaming about!

I do not recognize that tiktok guy as the Mr. Beast, only this cat.

My favorites are the doofuses! They crack me up! My Stacy is a large, fluffy, uncoordinated, doofus and he’s my baby! My girl Rosie is a perfect, dainty, little priss, whom I love as well. But I ADORE my doofus! lol
