I just found this video on Youtube. Unfortunately, no translation for it, only in Korean. This group of 6 rescue kittens was found by a couple of women who take them in. I've never seen such diffuse and wild color patterns, as if Calico & Tortoiseshell were just mixed haphazardly together.
Video, 19 minutes & 36 seconds
Sunday Afternoon bonus video.
*daily cat/kitten video ping*
If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
Every time I watch one of these, I get an overload of adorable.
There is nothing sweeter than kittens..... except, maybe, the 5 baby foxes I saw by the garage a couple of days ago!
My cat is lounging on my lap and she watched the entire video with me.....seriously.
Yes. Beats most anything else these days.
Yep, they’re cute alright. Funny how their personalities show in how they respond to being cleaned.
The kitty videos are a reprieve from all the post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi videos I’ve been watching.......LOL!
I have been watching talking Kitty cat videos, I had never heard of them until I saw a news blurb about the creator dying..

There are quite a few variations on the basic tortoiseshell coat, of which calico is one. Basically, calico includes a fair amount of white fur, and the black and orange in a calico is in more of a patchwork aspect, as opposed to the mottled black and orange of a tortie.
And every once in a while the right combo of genes will result in a tortoiseshell tabby (torbie) or a calico tabby (calliby).
Full disclosure: I am a servant to a tortie and a torbie.
Sometimes when there is a slight smell of ozone in the sunrise air, I miss the viking kitties. Where did they go? Did we become too sophisticated for them?
...sigh...
