Felix has Lentigo!

Kitties!





I have some news.











Come a little closer...that's good.

Now listen closely:







Felix has LENTIGO!



Lentigo? What in the world is that?





It's a fancy term for FRECKLES!




Sheesh.

Trust Mommy to find a high-falutin' name for freckles.





Do you see his brown whiskers?

When he was a kitten tot they were all white. Now he has brown ones and his whisker holes for those ones are brown, too!




And check out his snootstrils! Felix's nose used to be a rosy pink inside and out. That's not a shadow in there...that's a FRECKLE!



He's got freckles in his nose seam, too.





They're even on his foot pads!

They were all pink at once upon a time.





And check out his gums!

He has a big freckle on his upper palate; but Mommy values her fingers so no picture of that.





One of Felix's nicknames is "Mister Freck".

Can you see why?






We've noticed some other Kitties in the CB have freckles, too. Now you have a scientific name for them. Use it freely in conversation to impress other Cats.




Kitties, have a Fabulous Tuesday!

It's our Mommy's Friday and we're looking forward to extra time with her for the next two days.




Tomorrow is our book review. Stay tuned!

  1. That's so cool! Some of us kitties have one large freckle on the roofs of our mouthies! Mom calls them roof spots (she's odd I know), and only some of us have them and she thinks this means that we are all secretly related somehow.

  2. My actual FUR has freckles! Each strand has different colors on it. But when it happens on fur, it's called "agouti" or ticked. But I think it's kind of cool to called it freckled fur.

  12. Who knew lentigo was so cool!?!

    ps: The term "whisker holes" makes us laugh. Especially crazypants Harley.

  13. Wow, Felix, some of your mouth freckles are really big! I think the ones in your nose seam and pawpads are cute.

  14. Wow! Look at that lentigo! Suey and I have a little bit, but Lishy has none at all.

  15. Dobby has lentigo too - mostly in his mouth, but he has a tiny spot on his nose like Felix. It's cute!

    P.S. Thank you so much for your purrs for Blackie - very much appreciated!

  16. Oh my gosh I have those on the roof of my mouth too!

  17. Oooo! And I thought Tiny was the only one with a big freckle on the top of her mouth. Hmm!! I guess I am the oddball here because I don't have one!! Actually, I don't think I have ANY freckles!! Oh how boring could I be? Maybe I will sneak one of Mom's black felt tip pens and make me a freckle somewhere...then I could be called "Lentigo Lolo". haha! Purrs, Lautrec

  18. Mommy laughed and laughed. She calls mine whisker holes too! And she said my whiskers were always black till I reached 10 years of age and then I sprouted 2 white ones! My nose and nose seam are all the same fine leather they always were. Car makers look at me and my nose enviously. I think they want to make a car seat out of it. It'd be awful small though.
    I have lentigo on my toe pads. I showed them off a week or so ago. Mommy loves my pads and gives them kissies all the time.
    Tell Rupert I hope he got home alright afterward...
    BONKS-- with nose taps to Rupert whose furs looked magnificent.

  19. Freckles and red "hair" just seem to go together. We love your freckles, Felix, especially the ones on your paw pads.

    BTW, Annie is impressed by your dental display. Maybe you could hiss for her some day; we know she'd *love* that. ;-)

  20. I think Felix's freckles are FANTASTIC!!!

    My Molly has a couple of black spots on her nose and the roof of her mouth and a huge black spot on one of her pads. Archie has a couple of very faint brown spots on his beautiful peach nose and I wonder if they will get darker as he gets older. He also has all white whiskers and just one brown one has appeared. Casper and Ben are freckle-free...and me the mum has had freckles my entire life - LOL!

  21. We've checked each other over real good and we can't manage a freckle between us. Oh woe is us!

  22. We don't have any freckles here, but we think yours are cute!

  23. I did not know there was another word for freckles, but they look pretty darn good!

  24. We thought "Lentigo" was a game Mom played when she was a kid, but she told us that's "Stratego".

  27. Oh my Freckles Felix...you do really and truly have a fine supply of lentigo.
    Mom told me each freckle is where you have been kissed by an angel...you must have lots of angels in your life,

  36. I can see why Annie swoons, sweet Felix.

  37. Hmmm, I hope Felix approved this human intrusion upon his person.

    Not that his lentigo isn't just 'dorable, sez teh Human.

  38. Wonderful pictures of Felix's lentigo! Meowmy giggled at "snootstrils" 'cause she thought she and her sister made that word up! Felix, sorry, we have to tell you, Meowmy wanted to kiss you on your snoot, too. We think that lentigo is quite common on orange cats...Gingy has freckles on her lower lip and a few spots on her nose...while Fuzzy is more just 2-tone all over, so we're not sure if that's really lentigo or not...he has a big black spot on his tongue and another on the roof of his mouth, and then in amongst the white furs on his feet he has a few small spots of black fur in addition to his bigger black and white patches.
