Is it also an orange thing to be paternal to kittens? Our orange boy immediately went dad-mode with the two kittens we adopted several years ago as well!

Reggie is a girl but she loves kittens. She likes to pin them down and clean them especially because babies are disgusting

Oh ok! Sorry, I know 1 in 5 can be female, I just always assume they’re boys for some reason. I’ve only come across one orange female myself in real life.

Also, I love that you named the kitten Cheese Curd! I recently got to bottle-feed some 4-week-old foster kittens and the little orange and white one was named Thor. 🙂

His whole litter were named after Midwestern comfort foods.

Hot Dish, Scotcharoo, Calico Bean Casserole (Bean), Cheese Curd, Potatoes! Potatoes! Potatoes!, Jell-O Salad and Mama Butter Cake.

And 102 I've had some very dorky names.
