No idea where she came from. Cats don't hang around the building's backyard thanks to the Jack Russell that keeps guard. It probably came through the backyard's front gate; it's small enough to fit through, but I don't know what would have drawn it here.
I've given it some dog food and a little lid of water. We'll see if it eats. Can you bring a little bit of cat food to work tomorrow in case it's still hanging around?
And I refuse to call it "she" or "he" -- no matter how many times I type she and delete it.
Almost all. They all have two X chromosomes, at least, so all calicos are either female, or males with the rare XXY genetic defect, which makes them sterile..
You are loath to feed it. You would loathe to do so.
She's really cute, and obviously barely weaned. Do you have a guess how she got there and where her mama might be?
If you like, I could come over later with some Cat Chow borrowed from my little bastards.

No, but I've got Porch Press pasteup tomorrow night and I can drop some off on the way to that.

I don't know why you'd resist. By her markings, she's clearly a calico, which means she's also female. Like my Piper, seen here.

Calico! I knew the markings had a name. Are all calicoes female?
