Chloe (the white calico) and Sophie (the tortie calico).
We picked them up today from the Santa Fe Felines and Friends. They are about 12 weeks old and a joy.
Baxter is taking it all in stride. :)

Cute as Kittens :):rolleyes:
Kittens are marvelous little friends.
purrrr'fect pair.
I assume they are both females?
awwwwww They are sooooo cute! I miss having a cat but as Bill is allergic we have a non shed little doggie instead.
Calicos are females. Now that they have been here for almost 6 hours they have quieted down. I hope this can last into the night. Not likely though.
I wasn't aware of that trait, I've only ever had siamese, tabbies or a black/white (like imatheblues 'Dos')
However, at odds with genetics, the cat that roams my house roof in the evening and muddied my car I think is a tortoise shell/calico just like your top photo. He's a male.
I'll try to get a photo to compare better.
What a charming pair! Congratulations on becoming a 'daddy' :)
Beautiful additions to the family :D I used to be controlled by one similar to the lass on the left - didn't know she was a white calico though.
I'm very pleased for you, Gary. I'm sure that you will have many years of pleasure with these new additions to your family. We are gradually being adopted by a calico cat. She's here daily for her 3 square meals, but is still very timid. When I first posted about her in April in Gary's Barnaby thread I suspected she was pregnant. She has now produced 3 ginger and white kittens, that are about 6 weeks old. They are living in a crawlspace underneath our water deposit, which is about the safest place possible. We actually caught the calico and the ginger tom (her suitor) in flagrante delicto in the garden! By coincidence, the ginger tom visited us about 2 years ago as a kitten, which we fed and took to a neighbour of ours who raised it, so we seem to be all vaguely related.
Louise and I are suckers for cats, but Holly our golden retriever isn't very keen. Dos used to beat up on her all the time, so she would not be best pleased to have four more potential bullies terrorizing her.
Saludos,
Bob.
They're truly gorgeous......good luck with them......
