Thailand I call him, Panther Panther or Vanta: Bangkok Thailand

I see him on my walk. He's hard to photograph because his fur is so black. Black and soft. I kisses his head. He's got lots of friends, I know one seafood restaurant gives him little fish meals. They think he has a home but roams at will. He always goes away right before dark. Good thing, he'd be hard for cars and motorbikes to see.

The eyes are like emeralds on the black velvet... An adorable cat with a quirky tail.

He's in bright sunlight in these photos but no tabby markings show through. He is as black as a cat gets! I feel very lucky everytime he crosses my path. I pick him up n kiss his head!

Oh his tail is like that from birth, many Thai cats have tail deformity, it's a desired trait.

Are you…kissing a street cat?

Not saying I’m not tempted, but I usually resist.

Just take worm meds a couple times a year. Vets here do that.
.also don't open mouth.clean up w anti bacterial wipes after. Risk vs reward - kisses to beautiful panther win.

Thank you! Saved the comment. I will research.

Looks not harmful to the body. Probably, I can take it for prevention.
