The rare and unusual markings are caused by dark spots in his pure white fur

Quirky cats have long been an internet favourite.

In 2011, the web was flooded with pictures of people's cats that 'looked like Hitler' thanks to their unusual fur markings.

Last year a bizarre trend for posting pictures of cat's faces encased in bread emerged.

A Facebook group dedicated to dressing cats in bread, and promoted by blogs across the internet, earned more than 10,000 followers.

2012 also saw plans for the world's first Internet Cat Video Film Festival, which featured home videos of cats doing 'adorable activities.'
