Well either the three of us are hallucinating or they changed it really quick... or the rats are up to something

rats are always up to something. just look at 'em.

/turns around and glares/ evil!

They don't exactly look like the nicest creatures

And I think they did change it quickly... I'm 99% sure today's rat was completely white on top at first, without shading.

Honestly, I'm mostly intrigued by that black looming shadow over all the rats... it sort of gives them a creepy aura.

*squints in alarm* I didn't see the black on today's rat's back when I checked before?? I could have sworn it was only red and white 20 minutes ago. Well okay then x)

I thought the same thing! I saw Lilian's post, and was like "....what?"

I never noticed that till now. They must be plotting revenge on those who dislike rats.. O.o

Oh wow! I love this dog!!<3

This outcome grows tonight too, but I adopted it late.

That dog has got to be my favorite this month.

I just love Lilian Nightshade's horses from this month (and past months), really excellent work!



Just look at that shading!! <3

I'm just going to say how funny it is we are having an argument/discussion on if Indigo is in the rainbow.
/backs away quietly/

=/ I know this is a bit of a late reply, but I don't think anyone was arguing. Also, I feel somewhat miffed that people obviously only glanced at my post and assumed it was all about whether indigo is in a rainbow or not. I get it was long and you might consider it a bit tl;dr, but if you'd skimmed you would have seen I brought it back to discussion about pets by the end.

Since people seem to find what I have to say too long/boring, I'll summarize.

As far as applying this all to the cats:

This guy certainly looks more cyan than what we usually think of as blue, so the artist could have decided to go with Newton's division of the spectrum, meaning indigo would be what we think of as blue. Another possibility is like color scientists the artist decided to exclude indigo altogether. Considering this litter's mellower tone in general, this could very well be possible, and our cyan cat could just be the blue, with the next one being the violet and that being it. Personally I hope there isn't a separate indigo and violet because I only have one blue kitten left. XD

TL;DR version: this cat could be cyan and then we'd get both a blue looking one for indigo and a violet one. Alternately, maybe because of the tone of the litter this will be our blue and the artist will exclude indigo since it would blend into the violet well enough.

Also, I have a new possible theory on the grey kitten after going through the article on the visible spectrum:

Color displays (e.g., computer monitors and televisions) cannot reproduce all colors discernible by a human eye. Colors outside the color gamut of the device, such as most spectral colors, can only be approximated. For color-accurate reproduction, a spectrum can be projected onto a uniform gray field. The resulting mixed colors can have all their R,G,B coordinates non-negative, and so can be reproduced without distortion. This accurately simulates looking at a spectrum on a gray background.[14]

Could this be what the grey kitten is? I'm quite curious to see how it turns out.

TL;DR version: I'm wondering if the grey kitten could be grey with the colors laid over it like in the picture.


Honestly, I wouldn't make a post that long in the monthly discussion thread and not include some talk about the pets releasing this month. >_>; People need to have a little faith in my ability not to spam up the thread with posts that don't have anything to do with the pets themselves.
