our newest cat, known as The Orange Kitty. She (or he) showed up here in late December, prompting Joe to recall his days spent bunking with a certain NC potter and his girlfriend who had a bazillion cats with fleas. Yes, this is how it starts. So far, we haven't gotten close enough to pet her, but she doesn't run at the sight of us anymore. Since she seems to be big buddies with our cats and can catch mice, as soon as we can get near her, we'll take her to the vet for some shots and fixin' operation. We hope The Orange Kitty doesn't surprise us with a bundle of Little Orange Kitties before that happens!

There was a time that I had 16 cats on a farm I used to live on. Mostly outdoors...we held a nightly auction and the first 4 or 5 (depending on the generosity of my mood!) that made it in the door got to spend the night. What's your number?
Looks like a lovely kitty. But then I am partial to orange cats. Tang sends his best wishes to the new one and hopes for speedy friend-making all around.
we're only at three kitties so far...
I have a real fondness for orange tabbies! My second cat was an orange - I named him after my brother for some odd reason - Pauli. No fleas that I know of....
If she has a litter, hopefully they're mousers too!
