I have a couple of very sketchy theories (regarding Kennit and Thick etc) but will go over them again before I share...!
I have only just returned from a trip to Townsville (again!) and so spent the last 100+kms driving myself nuts wondering if Kitten-Thick's blanket could possibly be blue and red...haven't found anything relating to its colour yet (and most likely won't!). Interestingly, Fitz had thought that Kitten-Thick initially appeared to be a black colour but then his colour had changed to orange and white once Nettle calmed him...no mention of blue though (no, that would have been too EASY!).
As well as thinking along the lines of Lord Punctual re that the blue could be associated with dragons, I have also wondered once or twice if the blue of the drowned kittens could possibly stand for Buck blue and the six kittens could represent the Six Duchies OR could represent the six members of the Skill coterie - Fitz, Dutiful, Chade, Thick, Nettle and even Fool (not that Fool was ever really a part of the coterie let alone when Nettle joined, but anyway!), with Thick being the 'runt'...though as far as Skill-ability goes, he is no more the runt that I am a man
! That Kennit stole the ruby earring from the runt is not that unlike Thick having his red whistle stolen...
So much for not wanting to share sketchy theories...these ones are just as sketchy
