Users are enthusiastic: In a TikTok video, a cat with a black and a white half of the face can be seen playing.
Any pet owner would probably say that their animals are special.
But in the case of this cat, the statement is really true: on TikTok, a cat with an unusual color of fur on its face now has a lot of fans.
The funny animal's face is black on one side and white on the other.
It's not for nothing that the account under which her owner posts the cat videos is called "Phantomoftheoppura" - based on the famous musical "Phantom of the Opera".
The Phantom of the Opera is known for wearing a black and white face mask.

Ashfur was just six weeks old when he ran into his owner from a bush near her ex-husband's house.
At that time, the cat's fur was still completely black and he seemed so needy that his current owner gave him a new home.
She named the little animal Ashfur because the kitten still had an ash-colored fur at the time.
Over time, however, the color changed, which goes back to the fever coat phenomenon.
Small cats wear fever coats, for example, when their mothers were exposed to extreme stress or illness during pregnancy.
It is then completely normal for the coat color to change over the course of a cat's life.
The fever coat has no effect on the health of the cat.

Over time, Ashfur's fur color turned into a very special eye-catcher: The fur color on his face gradually divided into a white and a black half.
This is how thousands of TikTok fans got to know him, because his owner regularly posts videos of the special cat.
