"Tanuki with a white belly" usually refers to a cat with tabby markings. These markings form a pattern similar to those of a wild raccoon, usually a combination of black and white, with the belly appearing whiter due to shorter or lighter-colored fur.
This marking pattern is not specific to any particular cat breed, but can appear in many breeds, such as the Chinese domestic cat, American Shorthair, and British Shorthair. Tabby marking is a common natural coat color variation, and the specific pattern and color distribution may vary from cat to cat.
