TNR fails. But I knew when I picked up her three orange daughters that it was going to fail. I wasn't giving up orange girls.

Aren't female orange cats pretty rare?

About 20% of orange cats are female. After years of waiting for one I ended up with four on one day. And then more came. I currently have six orange girls. Probably the largest collection on the east coast.

Please tell each cat I love them!! I miss my mothers big orange boy cat. He was a lovely if very pathetic man. Loved attention. Loved pets. No brain. His tortie sister took all the brains.

Relatively rare. Because if a male cat rolls the orange gene, he's gonna be orange. If a female cat rolls the orange gene, she rolls again to see if she's gonna be a calico or a tortoiseshell.

Papita was a hard feral cat. She got +3 to initiative. She used to have a very high dexterity but she is now a sausage. -2

Looks like she's got -1 in Tail as well.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Two of her kids also used tail as a dump stat..

Does that have any effect on their agility stats?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Papita was a world class parkour champion who could climb walks to the ceiling with no effort at all if she thought you were going to try and touch her. So I'm going with no.

I would've learned so much more in Biology with TTRPG framing.

I know it's cats, but geese tax is required since you made the mistake of publicly declaring their being.

Superb kitties!!
