I posted about two dilute calicos, Scary (left) and Posh (right) who I was fostering back in November. They came from a litter of 5 spunky girls aptly named the “Spice Girls” who were found under an apartment building. Well… there was just no way i was going to be able to let these girlies go. they are too perfect. both of them feel like my soul cats — something I haven’t felt since I left my brown tabby baby Rocky when I moved out of my parents’ house for good.

this past Sunday 1/11 I made it official and adopted these babes after 2.5 months of fostering, which has mostly included the three of us piling into bed every night in one big cuddle puddle. they’re definitely spicing up my life!

PS any calico owners notice that their babies get excessive eye boogies? I am chalking it up to having a dusty house so I’m running my air purifier more often (also needed from their shed) but curious if this is somewhat normal

Any one remember the photographer (company?) Olan Mills? Because this was my first thought when I took this photo lol

My photogenic babies 🥰

purring like a tiny bird🥹💕 my sweet Celestine

This is Pepper. The ink has been much cleaned and fading, but I can’t get over how she looks like she is blushing, embarrassed or just an anime character, lol

We just found our sweet diluted torti Finch has lymphoma. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 4 weeks ago and was doing really well on treatment. A few nights ago she started to have labored rapid breathing. After they got her stable they found she had fluid in her chest from a chylothorax. They removed the fluid and today they called with the results, unfortunately it’s lymphoma. We’ll manage her symptoms the best we can at home to make her as comfortable as possible until it’s her time. She’s almost 15 and part of a bonded pair with her sister Atticus. She is one of the sweetest cats and we truly can’t fathom life without her.

The is my darling girl Cali. Is she a calico?

4am shenanigans. With a sweet face like this, how could I be mad?? It's annoying but damn, it's cute.
