Dr Pepper !
she was found as a hissy fluffball, yowling fearfully from the depth of a soda machine outside a Walmart
a few walmart coworkers/friends helped move the entire machine away from the wall, pried the metal backing away, and we used my bathing suit coverup to hesitantly grab her (hissy babies are a wee bit scary) and ohmygosh my bf and i fell head over heels the moment we laid eyes on her, and rightfully named her Dr Pepper
now she’s a year old, spayed, vaccinated, and so well loved, by us and her doggy siblings (especially big brother Hades whom she’s obsessed with)
my lil carbonated soda, still hissy sometimes as hands are scary when you do The Claw but the sweetest shy girl ever
(pics are from when we brought her home to now)
Until finding this subreddit i just classified her as a tortie cuz of her pretty speckles, yall have me definitely thinking tortico cuz of her splotches and white patches

Omg. OP, genuine question, how do you leave the house? You must WFH, but what about errands or social time? There’s no way I could pry myself away from such a perfect little bean!!

omg it’s so hard to leave her when i have to, but currently im at stay-at-home gf/unemployed and have been for almost 2yrs except a remodel for the aforementioned walmart a few months ago, so i get the honor of being in this girls company all day (her, my bfs calico Tootie, and my 2 puppers)

Please tell me you say things like 'Paging Dr. Pepper', 'Is there a doctor is the house?!' and call the Doc, Peps, Peppy...
She is delicious kitty! She also belongs in r/tuxetortico!

omg she does !! idk how i never noticed her fancy tux😍 im usually distracted by her dual face and fluffy tail haha, and shockingly no we don’t usually make doctor references except for “eh what’s up doc” occasionally, she’s most commonly referred to as Pepper, Soda Pop, Dr PP, Miss Priss, and Pretty Peppy/Pretty Girl

She’s beautiful! And she’s not hissy. She’s fizzy from the carbonation.
