Muted

'Mute' is what F would like to do to the traffic noise, the car alarms, house alarms, barking dogs, and me howling reading poetry from the aft balcony.

Downstairs there is a black, orange, and white cat.  

We call her Mrs Calico.

Across the road is a grey, beige and white cat.

Someone told us the cat across the road is called a 'muted calico'.

So does that make this cat a 'muted black'? 

The light makes its colour look more varied than it is in reality

  1. Love calico cats. We have a calico. Her name is agatha
    We also have a grey, which can be a muted black I guess. She’s bella
    I’d love to have cats of all colours but I guess that would be impractical

  2. This might explain it for you Mt T. https://pets.thenest.com/muted-calico-cat-5423.html

    If your blue cream & white friend is a male he can roam the streets at his leisure and have his way with all the girls because he will be sterile. No trip for the snip for him
    Miss Caico to me would be a ‘tortie & white’ …I wonder, does she have lovely long hair?

    1. Good to hear from you Cathy - hope you ar ewell. Mrs Calico is orange and black and white in big patches. Little Miss Calico is also a patchwork cat but she has stripes within her orange and black patches. The 'muted calico' is another patchwork cat and a 'mrs' (we know this because she had kittens last year, and has the end of an ear missing now which indicates no more kittens for her). There are also a couple of Tortoiseshell cats across the road (they'd be brindled if they were dogs), and one has a small white chest patch. None of them has long fur - which is probably just as well because the 'fending for themselves cats' with long fur inevitably look very unkempt. xxx Mr T

  4. Light really changes the way furs look, most of the photos taken of Beau he looks grey brindle. He is not, he is brown, tan brindle. I feel the same way about city noises. and there is not enough time for me to go on my RANT about the neighbors on either side of us, that let their dogs YAP YAP YAP for hours, and the other side HOWLS in pain because she wants in the house. stop now is what i will do. butt I do understand
