It's a bit different with them because testosterone and you better be fair. You pick a fight, you won't win.

Prize is a rescue. Knows his own strength. But he has a solid mind and a naturally good disposition. He has taught me So Much about soft, quiet, subtle, Less Is More.
Head and shoulders of somewhat grubby white horse (he just rolled) with long mane and forelock touches his nose to hand of woman with her back to camera. Quiet moment, making connection. Desert vegetation in background.

Thank you. She is definitely rocking the colors. From the back she looks like a tortie. From the front, CALICO!!!!! The tortie fandom says that makes her a tortico.

Olivia, feeling slighted, demands her own turn in the photo experiment.
Spectacularly flashy calico kitten sits on windowsill framed by sage green curtains that complement her splashes of stripey orange beautifully. She has adorable little white paws, white chest and apron, and dashes of black here and there throughout.

Danke.

Definitely on the list to try.

Just rebooted Firefox. Let's see what happens now.

Torties!
Two tortie/calico kittens flat on a bed. Loud calico on top hugs tail of black tortie on bottom whose head rests on her back foot. They are best friends.

I've been writing an article about tool-using orcas. Also kitten wrangling. Were we supposed to be doing something portentous?
Two kittens sound asleep. The black tortie with the white chin is at the top. The wildly patterned calico is snuggled up in her chest. They just sort of gravitated toward each other.

Are you ok?

I have New Kitten Brain. Periods of squee interspersed with moments of pure chaos.

She answers to her name!
Black tortie kitten with white chin stands on tablet in blue and pink cosmos case. She is very alert. She just heard her name.

Truth.
Tiny very dark tortie kitten tumbles in a pile of multicolored bedding. She has a shocking pink fuzzy toy and she is killing it.

I have captured the quintessence of kitten.
Black tortie kitten in between universes. Back end and tail mostly still here. Front end is barely differentiated blur.

Tucson-area peeps: Local bud needs to place three 9-wk-old kittens urgently. Indoor-only forever homes needed for bold orange boy, sweet playful tortie girl, and sweet shy void girl. Singly or together. Neutered, vaxxed, chipped. PM for contact info. Photos taken at six weeks.
White woman's hand holds orange kitten against cloud-dotted blue sky. He is yelling his bold little head off. White woman's hand holds tortie kitten against cloud-dotted blue sky. She is not sure about this At All. White woman's hand holds black kitten against blue sky. Kitten has the sweetest face. Don't you just want to cuddle her?

SHE ATE HER FANCY FEAST!

Also this morning, this happened.

As always, we welcome our feline overlady.
White woman who sucks at taking selfies manages to get one with black tortie kitten on her shoulder staring intently at you. Bow to the Queen of the Universe. All Hail Bastet.

Somebody still needs to eat, but is using the litterbox which indicates something is happening. Lousy photo but she was just getting started. She spent the whole night tucked under my chin.
Crappy phone photo of tortie kitten draped over blue Jeanette thigh with white woman's hand stroking her chest. The camera makes her look much lighter than she is. In person she's smoky black with a gold overlay.

Kitten has now:

Eaten two bites of tuna

Thoroughly stalked and killed the wand worm

And!

Visited the litterbox. Twice.

I feel much better, thank you.

Kitten fosters and tinycat experts:

This nugget arrived 24 hours ago. She's about 9 weeks. Has not eaten (wet kitten food and some dry food available) or drunk or used the litter box. When should I really worry, and what can I do to get her to do the necessary? Advice much welcomed.

Good morning.
A pile of black and tan floof on an antique four-poster bed in early morning light. Back leg hangs over the edge in center foreground. You can make out an ear in center background. The rest is floof. She is dead to the world.

Good morning.
White cat in side profile with black ears and round side spot sits perfectly upright with black tail curled neatly around her paws. She is staring calmly into another dimension.

Indeed.
Just about the weirdest horse angle you can get. It's all nose with some scattered long forelock and a couple of big black bead eyes on the sides and tiny little curly ears in the back.
