1. Jealous!!!! I am SO jealous!!!!

But congratulations! :toast:

Where are you getting the precious baby?

[MissB]

3. From my mum

She's driving down with (him? her?) tomorrow. It is from her landlord - a little 8 week old orange kitten.

Usually I'd go with the humane society, but this one is sort of falling in my lap.

5. Oh, gawd. Orangies are so beautiful.

Have you seen Spooky3's orange kitten photos?

Here is one thread:

[MissB]

6. OMG. Thank you for that!

I hadn't noticed that thread.

[Arugula Latte]

8. You're welcome.

Gorgeous, aren't they?

[CatWoman]

13. those are the most adorable kittens I've ever seen

:loveya:

9. If it's orange

It's probably a him.

[MissB]

12. Really?

Is this similar to most calicos being female?

My last orange kitty was a male, but I didn't realize that was nearly a given.

[Roon]

14. Yeah, it's a given

I could be wrong though. Every orangie I have ever met has been a male.

[Arugula Latte]

16. I think the majority are male, but there are orange females.

My mom has one and my sister has one. I need to get one!

[Roon]

18. I want one toooooooooo!!

but I have three kittys already! :-(

[Arugula Latte]

27. Me too ... Plus an unplanned bunny.

Just keeping up with the bunny droppings is a full-time job ... :(

24. Orange females aren't as rare as male calicos

Orange female cats are less common than orange males, but they're not as rare as you'd imagine.

Calico moms and orange dads do produce more than just a few orange little girl kitties.

20. I have two orange females with white paws--please see my thread

with photos--plus their mom is an orange tabby too:

21. Cute!!

I love them!!!

[Lindacooks]

26. I've had two orangies, both female.

They are much more rare, because the orange hair gene is more closely linked to the Y chromosome.

2. We will be expecting a picture

And if you could post it in the pets group that would be even better!

[MissB]

4. Okay.

But first I have to figure out how to post pics at this site. :rofl:

7. I have 11 staying in my horse trailer.

Two have found a new home, and the rest may end up at a sanctuary.

[Arugula Latte]

10. You might want to post a thread on DU asking if someone in your

area is interested ... You never know. Some pets have found homes that way.

Good luck!

[Dave Reynolds]

11. I'll try the Michigan forum.

Thanks for the idea!

[Brigid]

15. Congratulations!

Prepare for years of love and cuddles. :loveya:

17. If only you lived close to me.

We have a litter that was born under my daughter's playhouse in the backyard. They are very gentle and we plan on catching them in a few more weeks and finding homes for them.

19. That's great news! Here's a link to today's photos of my fosters:

22. What the hell is it with cats

I've had dogs my whole life. You go GET a dog. You buy one, you go to the pound and adopt one - you make a decision to get a dog.

But cats - "they find you". I always thought that was pretensious "cat person" drivel, like "dogs have owners, cats have staff"

But we found out that cats do indeed "find you" (or they're "dumped in your lap") - people just show up at your door with your next cat.

And yes, we ARE her staff. ("stupid pink monkeys - I don't remember giving you the night off! why are you late serving my dinner!")

[crispini]

23. LOL, yes, both of mine were inherited.

One came from the parking lot. :rofl:

28. So--it's tomorrow--tell us all about him/her!!!!!!!
