Day 5

All 3 are boys, the dark one is the smallest of the three. Each of them has tarnish down their backs to varying degrees. I'm not thrilled about that, I hope it clears up. Still too early to say anything about their patterns, they look ok, but I'm not blown away. They often fool me at this age though.

The mom, Gypsy is so trusting of us, she let me take all 3 of her babies away long enough to take a couple pictures. She didn't even leave her little den. I could hear her purring from the other side of the room.
Maybe she was grateful for a little break.

Aaawww!!! O.k. Nial I'm on my way! I'll deal with my husband later.
To my uneducated eye they look absolutely perfect.
What is tarnish?

Thank you for taking the time to take the pics and share.

Tarnish on a silver is the brownish color - I can see it a little on the necks. Funny but they look like a combo of a classic pattern or a mackeral pattern and not individual spots.

I guess in ocicats that's also the case with the spotted ones - you can't really tell the individual spotting till the kitten coat comes out and the real pattern with close lying fur is shown. That's why it took 3 months before Nancy could make up her mind on the quality. Apparently Charlie had a bit more stripes then he should have to make him pet. But by the time we came to get him those stripes broke into more spots and therefore, she's letting us show him in premier

They are just gorgeous!
Then again, I wouldn't know a pedigree if one hit me in the face.

Those guys are just gorgeous - who cares about tarnish - yeah, I know you must - but they are just so beautiful. For we, the uneducated - they are perfect. Hopefully, the faults that you see, early on, will disappear as these babies mature. Please post more!

I think they are really cute. If the faults are really bad and you're looking to give them away I'll take them off your hands.
