Sunshine was born in July 1990. I got her at the Bergen County Animal Shelter on September 12, 1990, when she was just eight weeks old. She is very intelligent, sweet, sensitive, and incredibly well-behaved. Once Ember was chasing her and she was about to jump on the table, then stopped when she realized there was a plate there and I was about to eat! Could a cat be any better behaved?

The Torties, Calicos and Tricolor Cats FAQ provides information about the inheritance of coat colors in cats, and about the orange gene. Sunshine's father had to have been orange (or orange and white), and her mother was either orange (or orange and white), calico, or tortoiseshell. So even though she's not a purebred, I can figure out something about her ancestry.
