It was because of his coat. It used to be lighter than even this picture shows, but darkened up as he grew up. He really looked like a Siberian tiger toy!

What did this little kitty do that you named him after Ivan the Terrible ??? Did he terrorize his brothers or you ? ;) Or was it just because of the Siberian coat ?

Yes, that all sounds very much as if Daisy was a dumped housecat when she and her kittens were so tame. Reminds me very much of my Minka found with 6 kittens in neighbors garden, she was so sweet, too. Came running when she saw me and her kids following her. I am sure she was an abandoned housecat, too. This pic is great , the three cats looking down into your apartment waiting to be rescued :)

EDIT -- my mistake -- Robocat is 3rd from the left, behind Bear
All the brothers, soon after the ceiling extraction. From left -- Munchkin , Bear, Robocat, Floppy, Tony, and Ivan the Terrible, with his Siberian Tiger coat!
