Just had a question on what dewormer you would recommend for kittens. I think I want just a broad spectrum, but I don’t know what’s best. Most dewormers that say for kittens say 8 weeks and up. I’m taking care of a litter of kittens and thought I should have them on a deworming schedule the...

Here is our Friskie lady and her Smokie pal. Smokie is wondering if she really belongs with all her striped and spotted friends because she half the time looks solid and half the time has some faint striping gong on. See her wonderment here…. And here, she looks solid—no striping.

Yes, that’s why they’re the best!

It is very interesting. It could all be something like what I mentioned in an earlier post about the intensity of the red, even in the NFCs being lighter and darker. I don’t know if they are able to test for the intensity of the red/yellow pigment in cats, but I know you can in dogs. They...

Yes I understand it is the same thing in red head people. I think red hair is awesome. Too bad you lost your red. I know some redheads that don’t like their red and I don’t understand why. But everyone can like what they like, that’s just fine too! That post mentioned it being the same...

That is a very interesting article, interesting because the same gene that is the cause of the amber color in NFC is also the same gene responsible for white GSDs and the red or yellow in other dog breeds such as Irish Setters and Golden Retrievers and Yellow labs. It’s also the same genetics...

Beautiful cats! I love the different tabby patterns, they give so much character to each individual cat. Thank you for all the information on everything. I found an article that goes into detail about the genetics of all the different cat colors and patterns and it was very interesting the...

Just stumbled in…..well done with your little fella!! He is definitely a head turner! Papillons are fun and adorable, but Balki takes it to a whole new level! Great conditioning in his first months will be so rewarding in the years to follow! Looking forward to more updates. :clap2:👏

Ok, that makes more sense to me. I don’t know cat genetics too well, but I do understand dog genetics a lot better, so all the information is very helpful. In dogs, you don’t have a dilute gene that affects red, it’s an intensity gene, for example in Golden Retrievers, you can find very deep...

That’s all the white I see, on his nose and chin. I can’t tell if maybe there is some on his chest not. He’s somebody else’s cat, we were just talking about his coloring and I was a bit confused because I couldn’t totally account for his lighter and darker shades (unless it was some tabby...

Thank you! He is NFC mix, so good guess there. So his lighter and darker shades is likely from the tabby pattern?

I’ll have to see if I can get it on video. She seems to know every time the camera gets out….and plays shy, or looks so innocent or something silly like that.

Thank you everyone! Friskie and Smokey are enjoying all the attention!! Trust them…..they love cat love…..:redheartpump:

I was thinking perhaps a smoke or something, but looking for some suggestions from people that are more experienced with color traits than myself.

I’m always interested in learning the right terminology and genetics behind coat colors and types and all that, but with this boy, I’m not sure all the proper terminology for his coloring, so any suggestions are appreciated.

Hello everyone! We are Friskie and Smokey, two adorable young princesses that rule the day, and their family that love and adore animals of all kinds. “I, Friskie, am an absolutely beautiful somewhat fluffy orange and white girl with the biggest and loudest purrr motor 😆. I love my sister...
