THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER — JULY 14, 1907
It may all sound like a fairy tale or an echo of the nature faker discussions, but the fact is that Mrs. Rachel Carter of 1834 McHenry street, Southwest Baltimore, is the proud possessor of five eight-day-old green kittens, not yellow, nor brown, nor tortoise shell—these kittens are really green, of such a shade as the inside of a half ripe cantaloupe or the plumage of many canary birds when, instead of yellow, their coats take on a delicate tint of green.
That the cats are purely a freak of nature seems certain, as the mother of the litter of five kittens is coal black, and there is nothing apparently in the environment to account scientifically for the variation from type. The kittens have black hair on their backs, extending down the sides, while underneath the green hair begins to extend over the whole under surface, exactly as many animals possess white hair shading from a coat of black—Detroit Free Press.
