Not who I thought it was!

While feeding the outside cats this morning, I spotted the kitten with the cloudy eye.

At least, I thought I did.

It ended up under the kibble house, but I managed to get a picture.

Which is when I discovered there was another cat already under there! The kitten had been right at the edge and backed up as I tried to take the photo, which is the only reason I saw the other one, hidden under there!

You can see the cloudiness in the kitten’s left eye in this photo.

However…

This is a photo I posted recently.

I thought we had two almost identical kittens from this litter – yet now that I can compare photos, I can see they are the same kitten.

There is no cloudy eye in this photo from a few days ago!

There is another tabby from that litter that’s seen even less frequently than I thought, now that I know I’ve been mistaking this one for it!

Yes, that left eye looks a bit darker in the photo, but that’s because of how the daylight is hitting it.

Very strange! I’ve never heard of cloudiness in the eyes coming and going like that!

What I’m finding amusing is that angry looking face. More so because, these are its siblings.

They all have matching angry faces!

While the black and white kitten is getting quite used to pets, and the tortie is… more tolerant, shall we say, of being pet and picked up, that little tabby just won’t allow it, even though I’ve managed to sneak a touch now and then, while it’s eating.

Which suggests to me that the tabby is female, given how the socialization of yard cats has been for us over the years! 😄😄
