A research team has identified a new type of cat which has the typical adorable face and fur pattern of the black and white tuxedo cat, but with a difference: the fur on this feline's back starts off with a solid color at its base, such as black, and gradually turns white at the tip — all caused by a unique mutation.

"In summary, comparative data from other species and genotype segregation analysis support the newly discovered KIT region deletion as potentially being a cause of salmiak coat color in cats," the researchers conclude.

For those that don't know, here ya go:

ALF | TV-14 | TV Series | 1986–1990 | Comedy / Family

When an ugly creature, who loves eating cats, crash-lands into the Tanner family's garage, they treat him as a guest and allow him to live with them as he comments on the stupidity of mankind.

Sadly, in the case with Alf, it did not mean satisfying (or trying to) your partner in the oral manner, if following the context.
