I think Hogan is pretty darn good.

Miggy is cheering us up today. He’s discovered that the couch cover can be breached. It’s all over now.
Look what I found!

Maybe a nap.

He’s another former feral that showed up.
He’s always stayed in the back bedroom with Squeaky when I go out of town and has been fine but this time he was alone. He tore down and decimated a blind and shredded a blackout curtain while I was gone.
He misses Squeaky too.

Kittens, or young playful cats, are very good at cheering up. He sure is a cutie

She has such pretty colours and markings. Is she considered a Caliby? The white/grey colour almost looks Siamese.

Something tells me that dot on his nose demands a lot of nose boops!

I had always heard these markings referred to as tortie point, as in a tortie-point Siamese, but there’s a lot more “official” cat colors now than when I was a kid so maybe it’s changed.
But for a cat abandoned on my porch a few years ago, she’s pretty cute!

I always think that that combination of Siamese smart and tortie-tude is lethal. To all who cross their paths. That brain is always ticking over thinking of naughty.

It’s all very confusing and fascinating at the same time. I saw the white on her paw and thought she has calico in her. I was told by a few vets that torties or torties crosses do not have any white in their colours. This really confused me because I thought my Ella was a Torbie and a vet said no, she has small bits of white in her so she’s a Caliby. Then recently another vet says she is a Torbico, which is Tabby-Tortie-Calico.
Your girl is quite strikingly pretty.

Yikes! It’s like all the horse color names that have come out through the genetic testing available today. They have definitions that I haven’t kept up with—like sooty black and caliby and tovero….
Clem’s coat is a little unusual too — very satin-y and looks either light or dark depending on which direction you pet it.

I did some reading when I took in Sméagol (a lynx point). The Siamese gene cs seems quite straightforward, a recessive gene, two copies of which produce blue eyes and fading on warm areas of the body. Beyond that I pretty much threw up my hands.
It would be fun to do the UC Davis color genetic testing on Sméagol — I’m not quite sure what color the tabby part is — but I can’t quite bring myself to spend the money on it.
