Show us your kitty cats

[kitch9]

My cat and best mate has been missing from home for 10 days. I'm gutted he never goes out for more than a few hours normally although there has been a new big cat in the neighbourhood recently.

Any stories of cats coming back after this length of time?

Lots of stories. Get some posters up, ask your neighbours and get people to share and look on Facebook. I hope he's found soon xx

Adopting this little guy from a rescue next week. Only 8 weeks old and hopefully will be a great playmate for Kiwi.

Excuse me whilst I steal all of your kittehs and become crazy cat lady...

On a different note, my mum has my kitteh, he is called King Spiteous the First (also known as Spit)

Picture is a bit pants xD but he is called Spit because when he was little he used to hiss at everything.

So Dave and Lola are on a bit of a rise to fame at the moment.

They won the "do the pet step competition" I was asking you all to vote in (they came 12th but the top 15 made it onto the tv advert)

Then Dave has made it onto the front cover of "Bristol and Wales Cat rescue" calendar



And apparently Lola is on September.

THEN I had an email from Bristol Veterinary college (Dave and Lola are part of a huge study into rescue cats) to say that Lola had won their "cat of the month" competition.

So I am currently a very proud Mummy, i'm trying not to let the fame go to their heads

Found a better picture of Spit and Gizzy, although Gizzy passed away

Also my other half's cats (that live with his mum)

Jack

So Jack was found in the middle of an A road, jack-knifed the car (thus his name) to rescue him, and get him out of the road, took him home. He was infested with fleas, 60 fleas removed in 5 mins of getting him home. Eyes glued shut, covered in flea dirt, but the happiest thing you've ever seen! This pic was taken not long after we got him back from his 1st trip to the vets.

Here are some more recent pictures:

Phoebe

Phoebe's mum was pure bred Persian, we can only assume dad was a ginger tom due to peach patches. Which we like because that means she doesn't have that smacked in the face with a shovel look xD

Freya

Freya's dad is half bengal and she certainly has some of their traits, but it is the colour that gets me, black with a little bit of stripping and pure white underneath her upper coat, so if you rub her fur the "wrong" way she is white, is this unusual?

Phoebe and Freya together (which is odd)

I think Freya is known as a black smoke. The bottom of the hair shaft is white so it gives the coat a smokey look. I think I can see tabby markings on her too?

Sorry to hear about some of the losses in the thread, always sad to hear, it is always bad loosing your little ball of fluff, it gets easier as time goes on, just keep remembering the good times as some form of comfort.

One of my neighbours cat's went missing the other week, it never ventures far as a rule, but after 9 days turned back up after the neighbour expecting the worse, so don't loose hope, it could be locked in somewhere and can turn back up when least expected.

Hope yours comes home soon

Edit - Latest photo of my Phoebe, she loves to sleep in weird positions, also keeps getting bigger and bigger, she is coming up to a year old now

^^ thanks. Not sure about the rest of her parentage tbh. So she may very well have some tabby in her.

This is 9 week old Hugo (black) and Floyd (tabby white socks), in a rare moment of peace..

Tabby is a marking, not a breed. I think (my genetics only stretch so far) it is dominant. So if she is part Bengal, which is a variation of the tabby gene (again, I think) then it will make sense that she will have classic tabby markings through the black.

blaze has grown up

and is annoyed i woke him up to take pictures

Looking after some 5 week old kittens at the moment for my dad. Damn they are cute. Really want some more cats but I think I have enough already

Ah fair enough Tabby cats are a cat to me so I just assumed *inserts blonde comments*
