Too many tiger stripes

One of the many challenges in bottle feeding 14 kittens is trying to keep track of who has eaten and who hasn't.

The problem with this litter is that nine of them are tiger-striped, and they only vary in size and lightness or darkness. Sarah decided to straighten out some of the confusion by determining the sex of the kittens.

We have six boys:


  • One solid black kitten she calls Maker because he makes messes and makes noise

  • One orange kitten (she prefers marmelade or "marmie") that she calls Butterball

  • Four gray tigers

And eight girls:



  • Two marmies

  • One calico

  • Five gray or gray/orange tigers
