For the love of little brown kittens, just stop.

No.  Go hang out with the pinheads in anecdotes.

Brown kittens?  Those are kind fo rare.  You just reminded me of Cocoa,
mom's chocolate tabby. RIP.

Glitter is solid "black" in a closed off room but when she gets in the
sunlight under a window, she glows chocolate brown. :)

So is Smokie, black, black, black until sunlight hits her, then she's a
brown baby.  So is she a black-brown cat, or a brown-black cat?

It's an odd color isn't it!

Yep, my hairdresser came over and saw her one day and has been trying
to mix a color like that.  I suppose if she ever gets it right, I'll
have my auburnish (and grey) hair dyed that color...  Should be
interesting anyway.

Don't you know she'd bottle a fortune if she could perfect that color!!!
Most colors a woman can make look good on her using quality dye but black
always comes out looking dull and flat to me. Natural black has highlights,
bottled black never does.

Well, I've seen a black dye job that had purplish/red highlights.  It
was actually quite stunning, since the woman had very white almost
translucent skin.  My hairdresser can do it (the black with
purple/red), but I want the black with gold/brown in sunlight.  Yep,
she'd make a fortune with it.

I've seen black mahagony that was truly beautiful, but Charcoal's
sunlit colors probably couldn't be bottled.

LOL!  When I was a teenager I want to look like Elvira - so, without my
mother's permission, I bought a black "rinse" for me hair.  It came out *SO*
bad (especially contrasting against my fish-belly white skin spouting acne),
that I remember washing my hair 57 times in a row trying to get it out
again!

That's weird, I don't remember Elvira coming around until the early
80's or so, I was an adult by then. Maybe it was Morticia Adams or Lily
Munster?

Probably somebody else, since this was about 1966 or so.

Lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved
body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,

LOL!  Probably did.  I think the whole reason "Elvira", "Vampira (maybe
*that's* who it was), Lily Munster, and all the others came into style was
because of the long straight black hair, red lips, and "bussoms" fashionable
in the 50s and 60s).  There were thousands of women who looked like Elvira
before Elvira invented herself.

Hugs,

Our cat Charcoal, when I was growing up, was black, but showed red and
brown in the sunlight.  In fact, his mom was tabby, but we always heard
siamese in is constant chatter.  The color change in the bright light
looked like points...

That's a thought! I'll have to look closer at her next time she's in the
light.

That could be the clue.  Kami is obviously a siamese mix, but you
don't see that she's lynx-point until she's in bright sunlight
(ring-tailed).  We also had a white cat, Kimba, when I was little
that had blue eyes because she was siamese.  If you roughed the fur
on her tail and forearms, the color was reddish where her red points
would have been.  You couldn't see it smooth, but pet her backwards
(and protect yourself from the wrath) you could make out color
points.

Meep's a chocolate tabby in the sunlight. Out of it, very black cat,
though if you look closely, some places are blacker than others.  Kinda
like I've read, that black lepoards still have spots..  The stripes have
been fading as she gets older though.

What about marmalade kittens on siamese meatloaf? ;)(the napping position
folks, not the food)

*grin*
