Yeah I know, Orange is not the most original name for an orange cat, but it just works. Orange is one of Tiny Tim's close feline friends. They share the same domain and do not squabble about territory. Orange is very accepting and does not judge Tiny Tim on his appearance, but can see the inner beauty that Tiny Tim possesses. Orange actually looks up to Tiny Tim and understands that Tiny is very wise. I have often spotted these two cats laying or sitting right next to each other, and have even seen them sharing a bowl of food together. Orange is a younger cat, an with youth comes that dare-devil attitude. One time I saw Orange with her back feet on the tennis court storage building and her front feet on a tree branch. As you may guess, Orange is an excellent climber. However, if you are not the one feeding this cat, she is likely going to shy away, as Tiny TIm's shyness has appeared to rub off on her.

Olivia Twist was originally called Oliver, you know, the famous poor orphan boy. However, I was informed by my mother that calico cats are usually females; hence, the name change. Olivia Twist is one of the newest additions to the Trinity campus. My girlfriend and I first spotted her in a large drainage pipe, not too far from the tennis courts. This first sighting inspired the name, as she was a very young cat who was spotted scavenging through the campus slums, likely looking for a morsel of food. Olivia is also a rather mischievous cat, just check out the video below to see her attempting to sneak up on Orange. When you are a poor orphan cat, sometimes you have to resort to mugging your peers (Orange) to get by. However, despite Olivia's best efforts, her attempt to ambush Orange failed. As you may have also noticed in the video, Olivia does tend to hang out with Tiny Tim as well. And despite how it may look, she typically does get along well with Orange too. Olivia is a rather active young cat so she is usually on the move. So if you are lucky enough to spot her, cherish the moment and give her a holler.
