First of all, my camera sucks, and the yellow sucks, but here they are...probably 7 weeks old now...went into the traps when I was tnr-ing last Sunday...obviously sisters. Got them checked out at the vet's and were given their first set of shots on Thursday. Still keeping them in the bathroom when I'm not there until they're fully socialized, although I let them run around with the others this morning and over the weekend, but only for a little while so they aren't overwhelmed. The others aren't thrilled, although Ashley, my only male, seems to have accepted them, and wants to hold them down and clean and love them, which the tortie adores, although the calico isn't quite sure about Ashley yet. I need to find them homes...6 cats is crazy, 8 would be insanse!

(56,177 posts)Because they would knock things over, and wanted out even in the huge cage I iniially had them in (big enough for a bed, food, and a small litter box).

(86,634 posts)I love Torties. My last baby was a Tortie-point, what an attitude! Was more like a dig dressed up in kitty clothes. Sure do miss her.
Enjoy while they are there!

(56,177 posts)She seems a little more tolerant of them, which surprised me, because she's sort of neurotic!
2naSalit
(86,634 posts)they do have distinctly unique personalities.
And thank you, from an unrequited cat-lover, for taking them in. It makes me feel good to know there are folks like you out there doing what you do!
joeybee12
(56,177 posts)The 7-month odl tortie was accepted very easily by the others...she has the most submissive personality, and none of the others felt threatened, they all seemed to mother her, too!

Good luck finding homes for them. If you can't, 8 is challenging, but doable.

(13,466 posts)It just feels good to see those babies cuddling in the sink.
joeybee12
(56,177 posts)Made a little bed on the floor, but they kept going into the sink, so I put a folded up sheet in there for a pillow/cushion.

(12,504 posts)my daughters would have felt like they had died and gone to heaven if we have pick up one of the kitties. Our Current Calico is ageing and she has been a complete swetheart.....on second thought, maybe an energetic little one may be too hard on her.

(22,271 posts)I didn't expect them to be so little. They are gorgeous! I LOVE torties and no, I have 7 already. They both need to go to the same home if at all possible. Thank you for rescuing them!
joeybee12
(56,177 posts)It'll make the adjustment easier.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)That will solve some of the yellow on it. The other, try the photos with daylight light.
joeybee12
(56,177 posts)so I had to use the 300mm zoom, and the light isn't great in the bathroom to begin with...so....
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)It sounds like you need a new lens. And the light sucks, but you are also going through more glass.
They look pretty though. Enjoy the kitties.
joeybee12
(56,177 posts)I think I need a whole new camera!
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)I am biased towards nikon, the lenses tend to have less glass, and we do a lot of night photography. (Or boards where they do not want us to get photos without flash)
joeybee12
(56,177 posts)First and last one...problems and it's not that old.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)(and that doing the repair makes sense, but we also use them more than most)
If you do not like Cannon, consider selling the good lens, or getting an adaptor for whatever other brand you get.

(23,995 posts)They are just charming. If I didn't have a husband, you'd probably be seeing me on the Animal Planet channel with the hazmat guys knocking on the door.
Several of ours love sleeping in various sinks around the house.
I almost brought home a little calico sweetie from PetSmart a couple of years ago - her face was divided right down the middle with the orange and black, and she had one orange ear and one back ear. I would have called her Harley, short for Harlequin, because of her markings. As soon as I heard brain finding a name for her, I knew I better walk away before I did something crazy.
