<--I would like to reassure everyone that she is playing with a toy fish. Not a toy anything else. Just FYI.
I think the kitten's gorgeous. If I didn't already have Jekyll, and if it didn't require stealing a kitten from a little girl, I'd have kept her. She's a dark calico with a light gray undercoat, which makes her look like she's been rolling in soot, and her eyes are a remarkable dark amber--almost as brown as a dog's eyes.
So there it is: beauty is as subjective as anything else. Here is a picture of Jekyll too so he won't get jealous.

Aww, she's a tortoiseshell. They're similar to calicos, but they're dark and the genetic process which determines the hair color happens later so they have little splotches of color instead of big splotches of color.
I had a tortie for 18 years. She was a sweetheart.
And Jekyll looks very handsome. (Don't want him to get jealous)
Oh, a tortoiseshell, of course! I'd never seen one, just read about them, so I wasn't sure what she was. The owner's grandmother kept saying she thought "something had gone wrong" with her coloring, which is a weird thing to say. I'll tell her she has an uncommonly pretty tortoiseshell kitten.
Squeee! Kittens! Squeeee!
The woman who brought the kitten over kept trying to talk to me. I have no idea what she was saying, because KITTEN.
