Lucky you and her too!....what's her name? Oh, and welcome from another Canuck!

Either she wears me like a shirt, or the other way around not really sure. Thanks for the details. I named her Miss Kitty, wasn't joking in the title.lol. Creative isn't it?

Interesting article I will certainly have a closer look at it. I do also ad chicken and turkey, really a variety of things with fish at the top of the list. I do a lot of fishing, and have a steady supply of locally caught freshwater fish. I may have to reduce the percentage signifigantly. Thanks!

Thanks, I don't believe I had much say in the matter. She calls the shots that's for sure!

I took some new pix of Miss. Kitty. She is doing fantastic! I never thought a cat could be so attached to it's owner, and the other way round...... Boy was I wrong. What I find most interesting about her color, which is perhaps a clue to the non-dilute tail, is that in strong light her pupils are both cherry red! I just cannot get my camera to pick it up. Almost as she is expressing some sort of partial albinism, however I have never heard of such a gene. As her color comes in, there appears to be more areas of scattered dilution, and non. Sure is interesting. She is a real looker, she has me hooked! lol.

Just had a peek. No pattern at all on her belly. About the only place on her body void of pattern. The varied light/dark pattern resembles double merle in dogs where white shows up in homozygous state. I have studied color gentics in dogs and birds for years on and off as a hobby, but I have little knowledge how it relates to cats. I imagine many things are similar. It will be fun to watch her change as she matures...
