Florence.



Cassie and Poppy.



Mum Rosie.

Oh no! I shouldn't have looked...

I'll take Poppy Does she like long trips?

I still like Cassie...

I'll just have them all---they're beautiful.

Florence and mum Rosie are the spit of our Millie, (our hunter killer) both as a kitten and an adult.

I like Cassie too but they are all lovely. We had a balck & white cat when I was young called Whisky - I belive there was a brand of whisky called Black & White.

There was Moh, and we had a B&W cat called Whisky as well.... Funny thing is that the advert for the whislky was B&W Highland Terriers!

When we were kids in England we had a black and white cat called Sooty, gosh i wonder how many of them there were

At least two that I know of Cathy!

Thinking of cat names got me thinking... I've had cats named Sooty, Whiskas, Snuffy, Ashes, Pepi, Kitty (aka Pixiepaws Drumbellina - don't ask), Blue and Lady. (1, possibly 2 more but have forgotten their names.)

How about you, what names have you given your cats over the years??

Smut, Frisky, Jinx, Cesterfeld (Thim) Sultan, Greenacres Chimney Sweep (Chimmy). Greenacres Total Eclipse (Clippy), Jethro, Ellie, Elmo, Frankie, Evie, Lucy, Bobby, Molly, Katie, Mabel, Izzy, Rosie, Poppy, Cassie, Florence and Lola. There was another after Jinx which I will add when the brain wakes up."Sukie" that was her!

Whisky, Sooty, Tiddles & Sandy (no guessing what colour he was)!

Puss, Bobby, Spot, Wesley, Monty, Lizzie, Milly,Tinkerbell (Tinky), Mogwai (we didn't name her, she was here before us and became Muggy), Feebie and Tinky Two.

Buster (2 days after we got married), Spooky (longest lived), Emily (diagnosed with feline leukaemia at 2 years, lived until 9), George (went playing with cars and lost), Current - Millie (tortie) and Primrose (female ginger tabby).

While in England
Bill, Ben, Weed.

While in the States
Wilson (Died from cancer), Alvin, Tommy and Oscar

Can't remember the names of our cats but in Northfield I knw one called Toff who became quite famous at Carleton College because he wandered round and became a celbrity. They have a statue of him in the Gould Library.

Loving all the cat names.
Panbiker your last two cats - 1 tortie, 1 ginger tabby - it struck me that one of them is quite rate to be a female and I'm thinking it is the tortie, am I right??

Torties can be either ( male or female)as far as I know. They say all pure ginger/ marmalade cats are males...like my old darling Basil. ( adorable boy he was).

Is a Marmalade the same as a Ginger Tabby?? (or could we go on and on )

Hee hee...is a Russian Blue either Russian OR Blue?

God knows... my Russian Blue (called Blue) had a Pure White Grandmother.
The breeder said it was to give him a soft coat.

Male tortoiseshells are very rare and are usually born sterile. Most people also believe that ginger tabby's are all males, this is incorrect, the girls are outnumbered by nearly 4:1 in the chromosome battle. Less than 30% turn out to be female. Primrose is a proper Ginger Tabby with what I call a raccoon tail. She was the only ginger striped kitten in the litter and was the runt of a barn litter. Consequently she eats everything that is available to her and will clean up anything left by our other cat. Millie is the smaller tortie and the matriarch. Half the size of Primrose but does not yield in any way to her and will often give her "a good hiding" when chase/play fighting. The bigger cat for all her size always backs down.

We debated the female ginger tabby thing on the old site.

A Yorkshire cat joke which was posted on Facebook. It really tickled me and I hope it will do the same for you.

A Yorkshire man takes his cat to the vet. Yorkshireman: "Ayup, lad, I need to talk to thee about me cat." Vet: "Is it a tom?" Yorkshireman: "Nay, I've browt it wi me".

Thanks PanBiker, it's as clear as mud now. Just kidding
