Cat’s Eye (1985)

what breed of cat is “General” from the 1985 movie, Cat’s Eye?

it’s the movie w/Drew Barrymore and how the troll was stealing her breath…a Stephen King flick
well, the cat I have here, resembles General but her stomach is striped as well..I thought a DSH has a white stomach?

Definitely a Brown Mackerel Tabby domestic shorthair. Domestics can be ANY colour – they’re cats of no particular breed – which are 97% of all cats on this entire planet.

You can see him here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA-qZeTmVew Interesting, though, I found a poster for the movie as well and the cat in that pic has Brown Classic Tabby markings. So clearly several different cats were used in the film and/or for ads.

edit: cats with tabby markings can have the pattern going all the way to and across the stomach, have it stop and then the stomach is spotted or they can also be “… and White” – with white on their stomachs, paws, chest, etc. This site shows the various tabby pattern and the colours they can appear in http://www.seregiontica.org/Colors/tabby/tabbies.htm and if you scroll down on this page http://www.seregiontica.org/Colors/tabby/tabbies.htm you’ll see some of the tabby patterns/colours with white.
