In my experience, offering one beer and pizza settles them right down. Dos Equis if you’ve got it, thanks.
Adorable, either way, then?

I have never seen a cat that color before!
I, for one, welcome our new giant, wrinkly, sensitive overlords.
That looks like Dad, not Mom, and I bet they are running him ragged.
I met a cougar on a trail, in the area above the campus at UC Santa Cruz. When I saw him (definitely him) I stopped, and looked at his feet. I didn’t want to appear to be a threat. We stood like that about 20 feet apart, which is shockingly close, but I had just rounded a corner to where he already was.
So I looked at his feet and didn’t move, trying to figure out if there was anything I could do. After about 5 minutes, which is a really long time of looking at a cougar’s feet, he turned and walked away. I carefully, quietly turned around and went back the way I came, to my apartment on campus, where I proceeded to get super fucking stoned so that my heart rate would simmer down.
He was beautiful! A relation of yours, perhaps, @Surprise_Puma ? I was def surprised.
I assumed so. Aren’t all orange cats male, or am I misremembering that?
Most orange cats are male, but not all; if mom has any orange, like calico, or tortoiseshell, for example, and dad is orange, then all kittens from the mating will be orange, including the female kittens. My Arletty was a tortie, and she was pregnant when I found her. She had 3 orange kittens, 2 female and 1 male, and one brown tabby, so she mated with a brown tabby and an orange tabby.
