More Kittens
Fraidy Cat is an orange-tabby FEMALE. The vet says it’s a rare combination. She’s a beautiful cat; the parts of her that are not dark orange, are a creamy buttery orange color. She has long hair.
EDITED: Fraidy has been placed. Yaaay!
Here’s all of them together. They are between 7 and 8 weeks old. They have been treated with a broad-spectrum worming agent, and treated with Revolution for fleas (today). I’m keeping one of the brown tabbies, and we tested him for felne leukemia and FIV, both of which were negative.
Tiger – male brown tabby, short hair.
Tiger close up.
Dreamsicle is kind of a combination of orange-tabby and orange-and-white. Male. Kind of medium-hair.
Sentinel – male, short hair. Sentinel is definitely “too cool for school” and considers posing for cute photos an offense to his dignity.
We called this one Guardian, because she was always watching out for Fraidy. Fraidy would often hide when we were in the yard, and Guardian would sit in front of Fraidy’s hiding place and hiss at us if we got too close. She’s gotten to be one of the sweetest and most interactive. She’s a tortoiseshell female, short hair.
Guardian is mostly black with the tortoiseshell being very subtle, and she has this look like half her face is lit with candle or moon light. .
Patch has a patch on her face. OK, so we were running out of clever names. She’s a tortoiseshell female, short hair.
The kittens are all healthy and have all their bits, so far as the vet could tell. They have been eating solid food for nearly three weeks; we found them on August 5, and have been feeding and handling them ever since. They were separated from their momma a week ago, so that we could get their fleas under control and teach them the wonders of the litter box. They are ready to be somebody’s kitty!
They are so precious.
You shouldn’t have any trouble finding homes for them.

Way too cute, if I didn’t have an old grumpy cat that would eat them for lunch…ah well.
She is 16 I don’t think she is going to change anytime soon.

Sorry! I have to tart ’em up as much as possible – they’ve got to go be somebody’s kitties SOON.

Yeah – I’ve got one that’s 13 and likes the kittens, and one that’s 4 and could take or leave them. I just hope the 4-year-old (who was part of a feral litter herself) doesn’t beat up Bob too bad.

Yeah – now I just need to get the live-trap, and see about getting Momma, and her daughter PrettyKitty, both spayed, and maybe some of the neighborhood toms neutered. We’ve had an explosion of feral cats lately.

It doesn’t take long!!! They can start reproducing around 5 months of age! (I just adopted a young kitty who was a “teenaged mama.”)

Yeah… Momma Kitty, who is the mother of our litter and the grand-mother of the litter across the street, has populated half the neighborhood with feral offspring. She’s been breeding at least twice a year; most of her litters were 4 or 5, this is the first one that I know of that is so big. I am looking forward to things settling down once her business is closed, as it were.

Bob (short for Bobble Head) – the one in the first set of photos whose head is about 2x the size it should be.

Dell (where I got it) wants $498 to repair a $600 computer… I just can’t see that making good sense. I’ll see what I can find in Garland.

A female orange tabby is rare, wow!!
They are so beautiful!!
Dreamsicle reminds me so much of my beloved Gremmy and Guardian of my sweetest Loki who lived to a ripe old 25 years!
I hope they all have wonderful homes to go to and they definitely have had a great start with you both taking such wonderful care of them.

Cute Overload! *klaxons*

The vet was right. This is a very rare combo. She has Tm or Tb with aa XX OO , She shouldn’t have two dom orange genes and a tabby gene which means both mom and dad had the dom O (which they didn’t because of the all the torts in the litter[0]) or she had a mutation very early in her development. She could also be XXY in which case you may want to see about getting her fixed because she might start walking like a man and be Frequently Secretly (Fond Of Other Females).
In other words, there are a lot of ways that this can happen but all of them are very very rare.
[0] there may be more than one dad but I doubt it.
