After the car show on Saturday, Jimmy and Carl went to the NAPA store in Providence Forge, where Carl found Miss Kitty's twin on duty!

| "On duty" might be a bit generous... |

Note that I can be pretty confident that this cat is a female -- calicos and tortoiseshells (the latter is the color name for Miss Kitty and this cat) are almost always female - to get a "tri-colored" cat, they must have two X chromosomes (XX), which means "female" (males are XY). There are, however, some cats that have three chromosomes XXY, which means that it will present as a male cat but could be calico or tortoiseshell. According to the articles I read, about 1 in 3000 calico or tortoiseshell cats are male.
