What a beautiful boy you are! Your parents are very lucky to have you, and it looks to me like you have calico markings, with three or more colors, which is very rare for male cats. Most calico cats are female. So, you are a very special guy indeed. Also, just tell your folks that you are just a teenager right now, and will mellow out in a few years. I have had several cats that started out kinda cranky, but when they get to be about 7 or 8 years old, they turn into lovebugs. So no worries about that. Congrats on being COTD. Have a wonderful life out there in sunny Sac.
