Same genetic chaos.
Lower contrast.
Identical attitude.

Vibe check:
If your cat looks like she was painted with watercolors but still judges you relentlessly — she belongs here.

This is Diana, she’s the embodied definition of tortitude. Actually, she was the inspiration for creating this sub. 🩷

This is Mochi. The queen of boxes. We can never throw them away.

This is our supreme galactic overlord, aka Sophie the cat. We adopted her from an old roommate - we were living in a place with five people and four cats. Sophie really took to my then-boyfriend (now husband) and me quickly. She'd even wait outside my door when I was at work! When we were ready to move out, we asked the roommate who'd brought her if we could take her with us. He saw how much she loved us and let her become our baby.
Geez, I’m loving this dilute storm of queens so much!! 😻🩷

This is Quicksilver. She came into our care as a 4 week old kitten, malnourished and blinded by infection. We expected her to lose an eye - she got lucky with good care and is only blind in that eye now. She routinely sits on my lap and kneads to her purry little heart's content, and nuzzles up against my face with kitten kisses. The triangle on her nose is the purrfect booping target for her beloved nose boops.

Merry Christmas from Mori. She was in a shelter and came to me with the name Aurora. I renamed her Morisot after the French impressionist painter, now just her formal name- now she is my Mori Girl!
