12 Adorable Pets With Surprising Patterns Hidden In Their Fur

When it comes to our pets and their fur, we usually only pay attention after they've shed all over our clothes and furniture, or when it's time for them to take a trip to the groomers for a trim.

But the unique cats and dogs below, with their incredible fur patterns, are impossible to ignore. Whether the markings resemble a silly image or flow into a stunning design, you just can't take your eyes off of them.

I especially love the critters whose fur forms nearly perfect heart shapes, something my own cat has — those three little spots on her nose totally melted my heart when I first saw her at the animal shelter.

Do you have any pets with unusual or beautiful markings on their fur? Know someone with their own patterned pet?
