28. Those striped kitties are quite good looking.

Ember has a reddish M on her forehead, a single reddish stripe out of each eye, a black striped "double necklace," black stripes on her front legs and tail. She has the swirl pattern on her sides, like "classic tabby" stripes except that they look like a Salvatore Dali or Jackson Pollock abstraction because the swirl is composed of a mishmash of red, black, and gray, with some white ticking on the black. She has random streaks of red on her back, sides, and tail. Her face has a light reddish flush. There is a very small patch of white under her chin. And her eyes are outlined with white. Her coat markings are tortoiseshell tabby (aka torbie). Her mother had a strikingly beautiful calico coat. Ember has her mother's colors, but rearranged into a unique pattern of her own.
