Thank you... Gotta say, I ADORE the name!
He gave me another blep just now! His name was originally Rodney Ballsgalore when I found him because he was a petite 5 lbs cat but had enormous balls. Snipped = Ballsnomore lol.

It was 40 years ago and I don’t have a picture handy, but I still think of an orange I knew named Oscar, so-named because apparently as a kitten he’d gotten into a bottle of Oscar de la Renta perfume.

Here's Malts. I am sorry for your loss. Orange tabbies girlie's are super special imho. <3
My vet was actually surprised she was a she - are fully orange girls unusual?
Yeah, from what I've heard, most orange tabbies are males. Only 20% of orange tabbies are females apparently! Had to do with the coding for orange on the genes or something.
Our Carl does that. Nice to not be lonely in the loo... 🩷
