They're both lovely. The grey arab is lovely too. I'm very jealous of all your animals!!! I wanted a ginger cat when I got mine but ended up with a plain black one 'cause I felt sorry for her!!! We were thinking of getting a schnauzer too when we got our dog but ended up with a beagle!! Her name's Lucy and she's really naughty too-master escapologist and so greedy that she always raides the neighbours' bins when she escapes from the garden!! Here are pics of Lucy and Chloe. Hope all the kittens and mum are well.

Hi Carly,
They are both sooo cute. I used to have a lovely black cat. Love the dogs 'outfit'. Dennis has a santa outfit and a superdog t-shirt and cloak... how sad am I!! Ruby and her kittens are all well. The babies are really growing quickly. Will post some more pics when their eyes open in the next couple of days.

I have a lovely BSh queen who I have managed to keep in the house since she was born but when she is in season she tries her best to get out  . Anyway, she got out in the end once last year. I found her entertaining this scabby Tom. I tried to tempt her away with cheese, i put the hose on them all sorts. Managed to get her after 3 hours of trying but it was too late She produced 4 lovely kittens in November.
Now, you talk about selling kittens, i could have easily got over £100 for these.... but I am soft, I kept two and my mum has the other two, just so i know where they are! (her cats are old and she didn't want any more after they died but now she has two little rascals!)
Here are some pics.
There was a black fluffy one too but he was camera shy ! |

They are!
My mum had the black fluffy boy, I used to call him Batman but she changed his name to Billy. She also had the beautiful blue and white girl, called Ella.
I kept the fluffy blue boy who is called Nelson but gets called 'Blue Man' most of the time! The black and white girl is called Smartie, I call her 'Smart Stuff' - she isn't all that smart but she is such a flirt, always on her back rolling about!
They are so lovely ! |

Oh nooooo, please, no more kitten pics They are all just too gorgeous to be allowed, I miss having kittens around! I used to adopt farm cats at places I had my horses, and they'd repay me by giving me all their kittens  I'd then find good homes for them all and eventually managed to persuade the farmers to get the cats spayed (at my expense) - but while they were having kittens it was lovely finding new litters and getting good homes for them.
All my cats are rescues of one sort or another, but I'd love to have those part-BSH kittens I think 4 cats is quite enough though, so I must stop getting broody over kittens! |

How absolutely adorable!!! Brilliant photography too!!
My cats and dogs are all rescues, and I will say that the RSPCA in particular WILL NOT rehome animals to people who go to work!!! Even if its just a couple of hours!!! Thats an obsolutely ridiculous policy as most people work, we are not all millionaires are we?? So does this mean that they will only rehome to either unemployed people (who couldnt afford a pet really anyways), the retired, or millionaires hehe!!! |

Hi Michelle,
Your kittens are absolutely adorable, such beautiful markings. when I was looking for a kitten a couple of years ago after being refused bu my local cat rescue centre I came across some at a nearby pet shop and nearly died when they said they wanted £175 each for them, they were just common moggies. My two ginger queens have had two litters each totaling 20 kittens and every single one has been ginger!!

Michelle,
Your kittens are absolutely gorgeous How many cats have you got now? Must admit I've got a soft spot for BSH anyway as I've got a big cuddly blue and white boy (must take some photos).
I didn't have a great experience when I went to a rescue centre to adopt a cat either.
I told them the truth, that I wanted a cat to live at the yard to keep the mice away. I said that I was prepared to take a cat which would be difficult to rehome in a 'normal' home.
I ended up with a very timid tabby and white male. The problem was that they were less than truthful with me.
When we went to collect him we were told that they had an outbreak of cat flu at the centre, but that he should be ok as he was vaccinated
As I was writing the cheque for the minimum donation of £35 I was told that the cat only had a couple of teeth! and that he had photosensitive ears that would need suncream on them (he was virtually feral at the time). He turned out to be somewhat older than their estimate too.

Hi, thanks for the nice comments about my kittens!
I have 8 cats! Far too many but i do have a large(ish) house and some land.
I have one female cat that ruins the peace because she sprays. i put something on here before and Donna kindly said she would take her to live in her barns. I decided to give her one more go in the house, trying to make her spend more time outside but it doesn't seem to be working which is a big shame.
She sprays in the house and my husband is going mad so it does look like she will have to start spending a lot more time outdoors. |
