Afraid I can't help with color - but i just wanted to say what a beauty!! She's stunning.

Oh - how sweet. I hope you name her "Shiner" (black eye!) ;)

anti-nausea (i.e. gravol) causes drowsiness so does a big trip to the vet (think "emotional exhaustion") She's a little baby, they require a lot of sleep anyway, over 20 hours/day. Sleep is very beneficial for a growing youngster. I think she will be back to normal tomorrow. (just an aside...

Sometimes a deeper dive into parasite testing is necessary (bloodwork). My kitten - from a rescue, so she was housed with many other little rescue/feral kittens and who knows what was getting passed back and forth between them in the communal litter boxes. - had atrocious diarrhea OMG the...

When my beloved Kami died, I swore i would never, ever get another pet. The sadness was too much. Well, about 4 months went by and i decided i couldn't live without little paws padding around, but i felt it would be disloyal to Kami if i got another cat (I know....I know). Anyway, I looked up...

My cats have always loved that purple Kong rubber brush - they are/were shorthairs though. Pip knows to jump into the shower (before i turn it on!) in the morning for her brush. I brush her in there because her fur is so fine and it floats in the air--at least if i brush her in the shower, it...

There is just something about orange boys. 100% of them are awesome! And I speak as someone who has never owned an orange cat. All the ones I've met in my life have that je ne sais quoi that makes them totally lovable (even the terrorists!)
