Notes

The Alley Cat is a rugged and scruffy breed adapted to a life on its own. The overall impression of the alley cat should be that of a survivor, with a short but protective coat. Torn and folded ears, mismatched eyes, tail kinks, and exposed fangs are all typical for the breed. It can be reserved towards strangers but after getting to know them, tends to open up and become quite friendly. The breed needs to be carefully introduced to other pets.

This breed was invented by PF Magic. The standard was developed by PKC using the signature petzy aspects of the Alley Cat and what is genetically likely in various stray cat populations worldwide, and that standard has been continued by UKC.

Type & Judging Remarks

**Notes:** The original unhexed PFMagic file, as released for Petz II. This file is often shown thinner due to the flea/sickness and should not be faulted. 2nd gens have thinner fangs and may have fuzzier tails. The file comes with three tail variations and either one or two fangs. In addition the mismatched ears and eyes are variations and may be present on either side.
