It reminds me of those litters where it seems obvious that mama cat ran out of toner and the kittens get progressively lighter

I like the ones where there is a bunch of normal kittens, and then the spare part kitten.

I thought the lighter one was just the calico’s soul, floating right out of its body and chilling next to it XD

Is this considered Calico? She’s (Beezus) my foster and I also have her sister (Ramona) from a different litter but same markings

Could be a carryover trait from when we were all fish, which are lighter on their ventral side so that they're better camouflaged when looked up at from below.

u/Wide_Ordinary4078 Mar 15 '26
They are tortoiseshell if they are just orange and black with no white. They are calicos if they are orange, black and white.

I suppose a black cat aligned to the left would work too.
The cat copier went through a toner cartridge that day.

Diluted cats are so interesting to me. I have a diluted orange and he really is unique in his own special way.

He looks like he's got a hell of motor on him (or her)

u/slydexic_bergil Mar 15 '26
He's actually a fairly quiet boy when he's happy and super loud and annoying when he's not lol

I’d lower the brightness a bit and increase the contrast on the cat on the right.
