:They are the cutest bunch of kittens and changes the answer that I would have given before seeing them :-)
:When you first wrote I would have said that you have a domestic shorthair brown tabby with lots of rufus in her coat (red). Some have it, some don't, some people like rufus, some don't. Go figure.

:According to an article at www.fanciers.com about torties and torbies, I would say that you have a torbie.

Thanks for the information, PHShowcat! It's good to know that she's classified as a 'torbie'. Ellen on the General Topics Cat Board posted a picture of her kitty, Gracie, asking if we thought she is a torbie and 'what exactly is a torbie'? I was curious and started searching the web looking for the answer and then started thinking that KatyKatt sounds like she could be a Torbie!

The more I read about it, the more confused I got though so am happy that you settled it for me. I'm going to suggest to Ellen that she post her kitty's picture here for you and hopefully you will get it settled for her.

In the picture of KatyKatt with her siblings, the little orange ones look just like their mother, Samantha, did when I first got her. As a matter of fact, the one to the right of KatyKatt is identical to Samantha when she was a kitten. I'll post a photo here of their mother, Samantha.

Again, thanks for the information.
