Um, pretty sure that’s a shoulder cat.

omg those eyes!
Lots of redheads today, which is fantastic. I love the distillery ladies and beautiful Sunny.
Chatty dog is hilarious, I love him so much!
He’s got a lot to tell us. And his mom understands. And wow does she have beautiful skin!
A friend of mine had a pibble who was a skilled conversationalist. I miss that rectangle-headed cuddlebug.
And I thought huskies were the talkers of the dog world. Boy does that pittie have a lot to say, too funny. Awww, love the 4 ginger ladies keeping the distillery pest free. Never knew that most ginger cats were male, guess they’re the equivalent of female calicos.
Not precisely… ginger girl kitties are LESS common than males because they need a more specific combination of genes to come out fully orange (as opposed to calico or tortiseshell, where orange and black are mixed together). But tricolor male cats are more akin to Down’s Syndrome in humans; they have a whole extra X chromosome that isn’t supposed to be there, and are usually sterile as a consequence. There’s a nice cogent explanation of the genetics involved at the top of this Love & Hisses post, if you’re interested in the finer details:

I think female gingers are about 33% of the ginger pop.
Once you go red, you never go back. Well, at least you always want a ginger in the mix.
I love the samoyed in his tux! It’s hilarious and adorable that he was such a big star at the wedding.
