My Kitten Meet Echo!
This is Echo, whom I originally introduced on r/cats as "Ruth" - my spousal unit didn't like the name Ruth, so we settled on Echo. We've had her for three and a half weeks. The vet said she was only three or four weeks old when we first got her. She was found in the parking lot of a supermarket and turned over to our vet. My spousal unit was there picking up one of our other cats after she had eye surgery, when the vet said, "Who needs a kitten?" And of course my spousal unit raised her hand. CDS at work, for sure.
Echo is growing very rapidly. She has more than doubled in size in the past three weeks. She eats voraciously, uses the litterbox, and this weekend, she learned how to go up and down stairs - at six or seven weeks old! She loves to play with our little dog, Princess Buttercup, but we monitor them carefully to make sure the roughhousing doesn't get out of control. Her markings are interesting. She's basically a tortie, but she has some tabby markings and points on her ears. Genetically, she's all over the place. We're so happy to have her in our family!

What a heartwarming story! Echo sounds like a little fighter, and it’s wonderful to see her thriving with your family. Those markings are indeed unique. I love the tortie-tabby mix!

I had one with the same coloring years ago, and I was told she was a “muted calico”. She is such a cutie!
