My former foster, Casper, went to his home last week. NOW I HAVE FOUR MORE! They are adorable!

𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙊𝘿𝙐𝘾𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙁𝘼𝘽 𝙁𝙊𝙐𝙍! Now, I am in some disagreement with the vet's sexing of the kittens. By my expert (!) examination, the 2 smaller orange kittens are females and the 2 larger kittens (1 orange longhair, 1 tabby longhair) are males.

Orange girl with white nose = JOAN
Orange girl with marbled swirls on sides = PAULA
Orange boy with long hair = GEORGE
Tabby boy with long hair = RINGO

BTW, they are all four tested negative/negative on FIV/FELV test.

Orange females are fairly rare. Only about 20% n/t TexasBushwhacker Jun 2023 #6
Yep. And I have 2 of my own! One colony of 20 nearby... nearly every orange one was F. Weird! CurtEastPoint Jun 2023 #7

We were supposed to get them today. However, we don't want to subject the little dears (plus us and their first-level foster) to the bad air.
