Followed by the Paw of Rejection™
[Image description: first photo is of a brown and white tabby cat on a bed looking slightly irritated, with one paw poised over a hand which is spread on the bed towards the cat. The second photo is the cat looking away with that paw pressed down on the hand.]
It’s markings. The light brown/ gold colour with black.
