I have a Pearl, too!
She's a tuxedo cat - black and white - and her markings looked like a pearl necklace around her throat when I first saw her. She was a barn cat that decided she liked the leisure life of daily feeds on my front porch and the protection of the wellhouse in winter. Because she likes to scratch her back on the concrete step and roll over to show her fat belly, I often call her Whirly Pearlie. She the best purr-er around. :D
