Hi Guys,

Sorry for the daft question but I dont know much about cat breeds.

Mum has just rang saying that the Sheba advert is on, and that was her cat looks like. Except Ivor is a bit.. plumper!

Any ideea what breed it is, Dad has always said Russian Blue (hence .. Ivor) but mum doesnt believe him!

no, lol, I only have two cats (and the frequent fosters, but they always go back to the shleter for rehoming). My two are, british blue and a BSH silver tabby -- both females and both snipped. We might get a british blue male in a couple of years time, he is my friends current stud cat, and hopefully when he retires at 4½ to 5 yrs old he will come to us, depending on if the ladies accept him. I have always dreamed about having a "proper" blue BSH male!! (you know with the big jowls and built like a pitt bull). I really must stop drooling. lol.
Don't worry, I always drool over pedigrees cats :drool::drool::drool:

Not a problem, I have a very soft spot for BSH's. There's one advertised not far from me ( a chocolate one) and I've fallen in love. I would ring them up but for the fact I have thos appointment for the rescue tomorrow (it got moved as the newest kits only came in at 3pm today, and they think they might have a match for me)
I like the chocolate BSH too.... and the diluted form of chocolate which I think I am right in saying is called lilac... also very nice! (ahhh heck, I love them all, lol)

best of luck at the rescue shleter tomorrow!!! I will keep everything crossed for you. Do let us know how you get on.

Thanks!!! We were due to go in at 2pm today but the vet didnt drop them off till 1pm so they wanted pusses to get settled before we let OH loose with them!

Hopefully we'll get to see them tomorrow. They also have a 12 month old BSH (he was described as very fluffy ) but OH wants a young kitten as he doesnt think an older boy will integrate with Spartacus too well.

I wish you luck too sarah, and how many kits will you be getting again? x
Just the one. I've set my limit at 2, including Sparta-monster. We've worked out the funding with two (including my emergency vet bills... which used to be next years holiday fund!:lol:) and 2 is my limit.

and I can see why!!!!

*wipes the drool away*

:D
He's beautiful isnt he. I would LOVE one, but I've always said if I spent that much (as opposed to a mog) then I'd give the money to a rescue.

But I am tempted! He's sooooooo gorgeous, I think even Spartacus would fall in love!

$hAzZa - yeh. She recently had her dental check (thanks to pet smile month) and the vet said she's now pully grown (on the pic where she's stretched out) and wont go any bigger. Apparently she's the size of an average 6-8 month old!

She acts all hard through the glass window with her nemesis! (she actaully has a nemesis!)

I got one for free, an older kitten. She was living in the laundry room of an apartment building next door to the building where she used to live. Either she escaped when they were moving out, or they just ditched her. The family next to the laundry room had been feeding her and giving her water, but they didn't want her. So I scooped her up, put her in a box and took her home. She talked to me the whole 15 minute commute. We already had a giant Maincoon, and we didnt have space to properly introduce them. She freaked, but he's a gentle giant, who makes friends with the squirrels on our deck, and makes sure we put out food for them. She didn't care, she just saw a cat 3 times her size, and spent the next 3 months living under the sofa where he couldn't fit, only coming out when I came home. They are friends now, but it took a while. So, yeah, you can get a Russian Blue for free!
