Only two of Pepper’s six kittens survived. These kittens’ father is some pusakal we don’t even know but the little ones will have long hair like their mother.

A few years ago, a girl friend visited her younger's brother's new house and told us about the ornamental mirrors on the floor. Okay, I grew up with mirrors on the wall, at eye level, so I … »»
How we spent the weekend and a recipe for zucchini fritters
I introduced my daughter Sam to Pinterest and she now treats it as a “menu” -- she repins all the food pics that she likes (and in just a span of one week, she already has an amazing … »»

The author
It's tempting to simply ask that you Google "Connie Veneracion" or "Sassy Lawyer" or "Pinoy Cook" and have this page done with. But that might give you the wrong idea about me. A third of what's been written about me is true, a third is half-true and the rest consists of drug-induced hallucinations. I suppose I'd better let me, rather than them, tell you about me. I'm … »
The cooks
*This article was last updated on October 2, 2011. In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP. Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to … »

The black, white and yellow-colored kitten is female, right?
Pretty! I’ve never had a cat for a pet. The momsy in the first photo seems so at peace and ‘motherly’. =)
Gay, right! However did you know that?
Witsandnuts, the mother — Pepper — is the most beloved pet in the house. Favoritism LOL
Something to do with genetics
Cats with that color combination will always be female. Some sort of gene interaction. Something similar to the explanation also of why baldness is common in men than women.
ang cute nung orange. pero ayos din si tagpi
Aww..such pretty kittens!
Kotsengkuba, what happened to your domain?
Gay, talaga? Thanks for the info. LOL With the next litter of kittens, we don’t have to check between the legs of the ones with three colors.
Asianmommy, thanks! I especially love the small ears. So like Pepper’s.
those kittens seem to have please-don’t-turn-us-into-siopao looks on their little faces.
That’s right. Calico cats are always female — easy way to win a bet next time
In rare circumstances, a male will be born with the calico pattern and will almost always be sterile.
Three-colored cats or Calicos are not always exclusively female. I have two calicos now that are both male and fathers to my other kitties.
I hope the adorable kittens will always be safe from the dog in the lanai. I know someone with a Persian cat that was killed by their pet Pitbull the first chance it got.
Nice they get along with the new dog, though. I have a huge Lab and she’s so amazingly kind to my cats.
