We had four cats die within a year. All orange boys.
Then one day I get a call from a place I’m doing Trap Neuter Release. Some mom just dropped three kids on a porch. I go grab the kids and set a trap for mom. I get the kids home. Three orange girls, two are bobtails. I’ve been on the hunt for an orange girl for years. Jackpot.
Really hoping we get mom because these are bottle babies. Get mom. Orange girl with even less tail.
I know I’m probably keeping mom no matter how feral she is. Definitely one of the kids too.
Time to make the decision. Which kid to keep. Wife vetoes me. We are keeping them all. Plus two more orange girls that will show up over the year. I have six orange girls. Probably more than anyone on the east coast. So much foster fail. So few braincells.
Eventually tame mom after 12 months and multiple attempts on my life.
So many orange girls.
Last two of those, found one standinf in traffic, ran out and scoped her up, we were close ever since. Second was my wife’s foster fail, turned out she was pregnant and didn’t know.
Last one was a tortie who got attached to me, haven’t done a ginger yet, used to do a ton of bottle babies, those were painful.

Omg.
We were up to 6, chain reaction of cats really.

Livin the dream
(We have one buttery ginger. Smart enough to just be a complete arsehat)
