feline; I chose the name "Bear" because he has a wide ocular (distance between his eyes) and therefore he looked like a bear when he was younger. I took Jumper(Snow Cat's litter mate!) out into the sun today and yesterday, and it is as has already been stated, that he is a black tabby on black. Also, another black cat named "Shadow", appears to have the mentoned chocolate brown coat in the sunlight. There is one other black kitten left to be seen in the sunlight. His name is "Orphan" because he is the only survivor of a litter from a feral tortie queen that I'm attempting to make friends with. I will check him out probably tomorrow. Those are really great photos' of the two black kittens, Casper and Tybald. Perhaps some day soon I'll figure out how to hook up this digital camera and send you all some pictures of my cats. Thanks again to all for the interest shown in this thread.
