"The color that I have chose to put on the bottom is called tangerine. It tends to look really well with the cat. It is very pungent so as I add the top matte, I'm going to tone it down a little bit and make it a little lighter. So I put that on there and it gives it a lot of pop.

It does not show up as well not as near as well as I thought it would. You can use a lighter color on the top. My preference was the first colors that I have showed you. It seems to make the cat pop the best. You see the cat to start to almost move. My option is these are very nice and very complimentary to the cat. "
