Gorgeous! The Queen Calico the Lil and her subjects! 😺

What a lovely nap! The pattern of the mom cat looks amazing.

So cozy space. Beautiful collection!

Congrats!! 🎉🎉👍

Fantastic tree

Ambushing! 😺

A bit dark images but the cat is amazing! Love her large green eyes! 😻

Good to know, thank you! I've just read a wiki article on polydactyly... It might be it happens more often in North America: "Although there is some controversy over whether the most common variant of the trait originated in the US as a mutation in New England, or was brought there from Britain, there seems to be agreement that it spread widely as a result of cats carried on ships originating in Boston, and the prevalence of polydactyly among the cat population of various ports in North America correlates with the dates when they first established trade with Boston."

Agree! Poor mom.

Yes, a club for seasoned men 😆

I didn't know that polydactyl is less rare. It's just easier to spot these eyes than unusual paws.

She is, indeed! Full of happiness and worries.

They look gorgeous, I feel, like, why nobody wants them, why nobody steals them?? But somebody stole my old dusty sandals at hostel... So silly.

Well said! Tiny adorable mountain lions 😻

Not really... Trash is scattered here and there on streets, stray cats tend to search for food in garbage. On busy streets, cats tend to be near rows of roadside stalls selling goods and meals (super dirty, with many rats around) as some people working their give treats to cats. At night, cats can sleep on those stalls or around them. There many abandoned old buildings in Kolkata - some serve as homes for strays.

Cute heterochromia kitty, thank you for sharing! 😊

> a Maine coon cat

Wow, that's rare...

So sad that people abandon cats...

😊 But he is also ticked. Guess he's heterozygous ticked - that's why the pattern is visible.

No doubt he has experienced everything in his life... And now he's retired, resting all day, meeting old male humans to hang out together - perfect 😃

Adorable soft, furry, busy-looking tabby! 😺 Thank you for sharing him!

What an unusual, beautiful coat! 😻 Guess that's a mink (aqua eyes, moderate colorpoint) with white.

I like cooking in a shared kitchen at hostels (I am a traveler, in Kolkata now), just to eat healthier. You can do that too - buy yogurt (curd), paneer, cheese, butter, eggs, veggies, fruits in a supermarket (or order delivery - common in big cities) to cook breakfast and dinner. Lunch - order the safest food at a good restaurant - a pie with potato (aloo paratha) or paneer paratha - it's freshly baked and qiute filling, and not spicy. Eat bananas - there are sold everywhere. Don't eat anything precooked (dahl, stews) to be 100% sure. Avoid all curries - some Western people can have diarrhea just because 1) too much chilli 2) too much dry spices - they put tons! 3) too oily (butter chicken) - a ton of oil.
