Poma Takina
Eight cats, three generations
Gen 1
La Grita, or Mamacita, or Mitochondria MRCA
Gen 2 - all black
Foo Fighter - biggest, male, explorer, momma's boy
Sister Sniffles - Femme, next biggest, quiet, will climb leg for food
Kwee, or Round Eyes - smallest, female, whispers heavenly labials, born a loner but grew into the fold
Sister Sliver - deceased, now down by the riverside
Gen 3, in order born
Dumbass, formerly Tiger or Tigre - male, stripe, strongly marked, takes a long time to figure anything out; alpha at the chicken parts
Iskay - (means Two in Quechua) - finely striped, female, affectionate, sleeps in your armpit
Snowflake - female, smallest, black with subtle stripe pattern below - bit of a loner
Smoke - female, almost twin to Iskay but slightly less defined, Virgo
Gen 3 will upon full weaning be farmed out to Juan at the mercado; two for mousers in the market, two as pets for his mom. I will advise Dumbass as a hunter, Iksay as a pet
Footnote:
As I edit this post, two scraggly interlopers from the neighborhood slink in to forage from the cat's dry food bowl, one after the other. I'm not going to begrudge them that, having overcome so much fear to get here.
