this is completely off topic but was just reading on cat genetics.. and thought of your babies..

Angel´s dad.. surely was an orangie and probably the dad of the new "batch" too..

male cats need one orange gene to be orange
female cats need two orange genes to be orange, if they only get one then they are torties..

Winnie + orange dad = tortie female Angel

tortie Lilac + orange dad = tortie female Carmela, blackie boys Chuck and Chip, orange maleSunny, and you could possibly get orangie girl Tangy too.. as she could have got orange from mom AND dad...

then the newest crew
tortie momma + ?= orange male, black? and siamese?

lol.. just wanted to share as I found it interesting

Yep, Angel's dad was probably an orangie. Winnie and an orangie had an, um love affair right on my back porch in spite of my best efforts to chase them off at the time.

Lilac's babies, probably the same orangie. I saw one escorting Lilac for a couple of weeks before she died. It looked like the same one Winnie had her fling with. One odd thing, during the time I was sitting out side with Lilacs babies trying to get them tamed down, that orangie came and watched me from the lilac bush every evening. Like he was watching over the babies. One evening I held up one of the orangies and told him I was taking care of the babies. Then I moved them into the shed. He hasn't been seen around here since then. It was like he was watching over them until I could do it.

That would mean Lilac and Chip, Chuck and the others are half siblings!!! It's all in the family, I guess.

I'm so happy to hear that a date has now been set for transport and I'd like to thank everyone involved. Now hopefully the weather will cooperate and it won't be too hot or rainy. I also hope that everything will go well. I'm sending some positive vibes to everyone involved.

It's interesting to know that the kittens are probably related to both Winnie and Angel. This shows how quickly cats can reproduce. When Carmen comes to get the 3 kittens, maybe Connie can ask her if she knows anyone who can help her with all of the other cats and kittens around her home. Maybe Friends Of Felines will be able to help. It wouldn't hurt to ask. If the cycle isn't broken then there will always be new homeless kittens being born.

[lvpets2002]

Yes that is very true of the cycle needs broken.. Hey just think with Winnie & Angel & Chip & Chuck & my babies coming && all getting fixed is breaking the cycle some..

[dehlers43]

Yippee!!
What great news! My huge thanks to everyone involved - the drivers, the paw-crossers, the well-wishers and most of all to MOFF, Lvpets, and Anikaca.
Pet Talkers rock!

I think I found the sourse of the kitty leak I've been having lately and I'm so mad I can hardly see straight. Seems the lady (and I use the term very very loosly) who tossed pregnant Winnie out and left two dogs locked in an abandoned house in 90+ degree heat with no food or water for 3 weeks, is back in the neighborhood. She's not only back, she lives in the house one over from me. I am as sure as I'm sitting here, that is where the new momma cat came from. They also have another dog, a big big dog.

So, it will be a never ending thing for me if I keep helping kitties. She will keep getting them and tossing them out because she knows I'll feed them. I can't and won't cover her bum any more. I hate it for the animals sakes but I can't do anything about it. Our city didn't even charge her with cruelty to animals for what she did to the dogs.


On a happy note: all is set for GO on the kitty transport tomorrow. The kits are really excited!!! It will be a big adventure for them. I'll let you know when they are on the road.

[Anikaca77]

OH my goodness, tomorrow already wow I'm so glad this is working out so well, I'll still keep my fingers and paws crossed for those little ones traveling.

Take care and thank you for all your help
Melissa
