@CarlosLuis I love the Lt Dan name! How fitting! I can see the ginger in this one, but it seems a bit muted; our Gilbert and Sullivan are relatively bright orange, though one of their litter mates was buff! While we wouldn’t give them up (though Sullivan’s purring is extra loud and he’s taken to meowing for no reason we can determine), we’ve often commented we should have gone with the buff so we could tell them apart. Instead we used a black magic marker to tip one’s tail because they looked so alike as kittens streaking by! ---

> [@TomH](#): > > I can see the ginger in this one, but it seems a bit muted; You know with the Artimis luna flyby they took lots of photos, but the crew did written reports of their observations including color. This boy is bright orange. It may be because I accidently videoed him and did as screen capture to get this pose. Here’s one of the stills. ![IMG_2710](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/0/042be18cbac9a48a6ba3da26c1aedb61e0dc027b.jpeg) ---

That’s more the color Gilbert and Sullivan sport! In the UK (we lived there for three years, my tour with the 501st GLCM Wing), they’re called “marmalade” cats! ---

> [@TomH](#): > > they’re called “marmalade” cats! Years ago we had a ginger tom come visiting that we called Marmalade. We had a big black tom named Sasha. They didn’t like. One another, duh! We also had a herd of Nubian dairy goats and their dog, Detta, a Great Pyrenees. Marmalade and Sasha got into a real fight. Detta wasn’t having it. She put her muzzle into this ball of teeth and claws. It was amazing, the 2 boys immediately separated. Detta calmly escorted Marmalade to the boundary fence. She must’ve communicated to him that he was welcome to visit but must behave. And he did. Detta short for Bernadette. ---

Making their bone broth for after-nap snacks. No, they’re not spoiled at all! ![1448](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/c/c248fc87d59263e6203a345f3241d798e1def58a.jpeg) ---

I think making bone broth “after nap snacks” may be bridge to far, though we make Gilbert and Sullivan’s food about every month. We use a recipe based on Dr Pierson’s formula ([https://catinfo.org](https://catinfo.org)) using a grinder, chicken thighs, hearts, and livers, eggs, and a few additives. It started out as semi-raw, but thanks to Bird Flu has become “almost” cooked! Its an act of love, though Sullivan’s meows are testing the limit lately! ---

I know, but it started during one of Milo’s dehydration bouts, and they really look forward to it! I make it once I have enough carcasses from roast chicken dinners, so its not like I’m _really_ going out of my way. (How’s that for justifying my servitude to the fuzzy overlords?) ---
