Ask any vet. EXCEPT true calico. Not what MOST people call calico, but a pure, solid white cat with orange and black patches. Most people will call any old cat with mixed colors a calico. Not true. But a true calico is genetically programmed to be female but males do show up. Tortoiseshell is misused too. The kittens I saw in your pictures are torties. This lady is very informative: http://www.squidoo.com/tortoiseshellcats Don't know what to tell you about black kittens. I love 'em. Have two. I would emphasize cuteness not ebil if you want them to go to good homes. Maybe claim that the mother is a good mouser. Good luck. Ten kittens. GAWD!

I do NOT want inside cats, I can't deal with litter box duty. Perfect cat would use the toilet and flush, too. This many cats? Not gonna happen. Don't mind cleaning up after dogs... it's my fault if they can't get outside as often as they need to. The cleaning up is a lot more pleasant than the litter box duty is. Ron is amazed that I can pick Ducati Frank out from the 4 black kittens. Pillar is easy, too, as she has lots of random white hairs. To Ron, all 4 black kittens look exactly alike, hah! I am having a bit of trouble with the other two, though.... Maybe they will be interchangeable names. Whichever one is in my lap is Tonic... and the other is Pult. :) I like having barn cats, although they are really front porch cats now since the only barn is a ways from the house.

I totally agree about cat names. One of my favorite cats ever was a girl named Clarence. She is featured on the cover of my second novel, and as a character, in fact. When I have my own house, I'm pretty sure I will turn in to one of those crazy cat ladies. Ha! I totally agree about cat names. One of my favorite cats ever was a girl named Clarence.
