I was commenting how unusual her colorings is... Then when I looked at the picture on the couch I realized what she really is... Francine is a silver patched mackerel tabby... So you are seeing the patching in the reddish brown coloration and the silverish colors in the markings... It really is quite striking... With shorter fur that is how it PURRsents itself...

There is a whole RAINBOW of kitty colors!!! I find the unusual ones the MOST interesting!

Our breeding queen Rainbow Joy is blue silver patched classic tabby with white... So she had all kinds of genes to make all colors of babies...



Here are the babies at 7 weeks...



Francine is a RAINBOW all on her own!!! A very special kitty as our COTD!
