Ok so I think I've been able to guess every single cat that have the bird colorations/markings.
We've got:
- Baltimore Oriole
- Stellar's Jay
- Hairy Woodpecker
- American Goldfinch
- Purple House Finch
- Cardinal
- Gray Catbird
- Diamond Firetail
I'm a bird nerd, so after they've all grown up, I had to guess!

The artist did confirm it was a Downy Woodpecker not a Hairy Woodpecker, but they look very similar so it's hard for me to tell the difference.

somehow my rats were terribly unlucky. Adoption limit was 9, with six outcomes. My litter hatched only 2 of the outcomes, and I got 2 of the day 28 outcome and 7! of the day 30 outcome.

Yeah, I feel like I'm pretty lucky I actually got 3 of the rat outcomes. 1 each of 2 outcomes, and 7 of that last one.

Okay, I've done it. I've pulled all my extra rats out of my trading group and put all seven into their own group, in honor of last month's fun. They'll be too common for anyone to want those in trade, anyway, right?

Thank you very much! Let me try now:

Arabian tahr | Nilgiri tahr

Indian hog deer | Visayan spotted deer

Speke's Gazelle | Przewalski's Gazelle

Alpine musk deer | Himalayan musk deer

Yes! You got them all 🎉
They are pairs of endangered even-toed ungulates

I got 7 of the last rat outcome too. It's odd how so many people got the same amount.

On a side note, I'm glad you guys enjoyed the dragons. Working on a little story for pets again was a delight, specially now that my writing has improved. The last dragon was also a bit nostalgic to make since it reminded me of my geode horses and I had lots of fun painting it. ^^

The ratties were so fun. It was like we all went trick or treating together and got tricked! Hehe

It was quite the community experience to freak out over the rats together! I'm really glad I stopped by the montlhy chat this time; I usually don't and it'd have been a shame to miss this!

By my final count, I had to trade for the PPS and one of the earlier adult rats, I got exactly one each of the other adults, and six of the last one!
Too bad I can't join the 7 Rats Club. That'd make a cool Tshirt!

Same. I thought it was a Hairy until I saw your post. I'm in love with the Cardinal and the Goldfinch. Here in Vermont, we see a lot of that pretty Goldie.

I feel like we had quite a few panic-inducing litters this month, though the rats were definitely the biggest roller coaster, haha

I had similar luck with the purple pups as I did with the rats, almost all of mine grew into one outcome!

It was quite fun to experience the chaos, lol

[CaptainAltenor]

I also got like... 7 of those last-day rats, haha.
