They are the neighbors free range birds. I'm surprised they do so well. I had a coyote walk right by that spot in the middle of the day last week.

He got very depressed when Ivan passed, but the younger cats, and especially Mikesch, have gotten him almost 100% his old self. He's very happy now.

Well, she's still pretty special, because Chloe was a calico tiger, and was probably the runt of her litter, at 6 pounds at 13 years old!

So much for my sister's nursing expertise, LOL!! "You were right . Skittles is a female . They were calling her a boy . She was neutered Tuesday . You would never know she had an operation - crazy kitten ."

My sister has definitely confirmed he's a boy. I have to trust her judgement, as she's a retired nurse, LOL! Apparently this type of cat is called a "Torbie" -- tortoise-shell tabby

He should be getting fixed soon, They're just waiting for him to put on weight. Then maybe we'll see if he's rare, or another "Princess/Ambercat"!

There's at least three colors. He's a mix of all the kittens in the litter, and there was an orange one, a black one, a white one, and a calico one I think.

I went to my sister's today to meet Skittles. He was the runt of the litter and not expected to survive. He had some sort of neurological problem also that seems to have cleared up. Very much like Ambercat's personality. He probably would've ended up the alpha of the litter despite his size. Very outgoing and not afraid of anything.
