Title: Re: Black and white cat appreciation thread
Post by: Kats inc on January 09, 2008, 18:29:25 PM: Aww Memphis is a babe :Luv:

Tilly is so delightful,everyone that meets her falls in love with her.Her brain damage makes her so dippy.She trips along in a world of her own most of the time.She has lousy balance and walks in a wierd way,stares into space in such a convincing way even I look to see what's there and loves to roll on your feet when they're warm so after a bath or in the sunshine.She has had some tough times in her life which I will tell you about one of these days.But I love her to bits and even though she's got lost and can't find her way home if she gets out and poos on the floor and barfs everywhere I would be lost without her.

Title: Re: Black and white cat appreciation thread
Post by: blackcat on January 09, 2008, 21:34:49 PM: strangely enough Ralfie was not black and white when we bought him, but brown and white. We had stopped at a farm supply shop on the way back to Brisbane I had fallen love with some goslings (who also came home with us) and Shaunnagh, who knew her husband hated cats, fell for Ralfie who, with his siblings was cuddled in a heap in a carboard box that they had yet to place on sale. We came home with all this livestock and me telling S that her kitten was black (when patently he was brown) but sun=burnt (his hair had bleached because of the strength of the queensland sun). Clearly he grew up to be a very handsome cat and is currently resident in Wellington New Zealand . :Luv:

Post by: barney on January 14, 2008, 00:41:55 AM: Meet Spangles, she arrived Boxing day from my neighbours who thought it a great idea to club together and get a replacement cat for the one I lost in November >:(. The house was still going through the upheaval of getting back to some sort of normality and this happens. As I live in a road with just 10 neighbours, it would have caused a lot of bad feeling long term if I said I didn't want her and that I wasn't grateful to them. The other 4 cats seemed to have got on really well with her from the first day. As for me, she's only just starting to grow on me, and tomorrow she's up the vets for her vaccinations :evillaugh:

Its interesting that you think of Meggie as black and white Denise. You're absolutely right of course but I always think of Korky as a black cat despite his little white medallion.
She's gorgeous btw
Title: Re: Black and white cat appreciation thread
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on January 20, 2008, 13:07:43 PM: Strictly speaking, cats like Meggie and Korky are black, to be black and white you would have to have true patches of white.

I used to feel like that but then I inherited Tiny and fell in love. I go all soppy now when I see a black and white cat with a little black nose. I'd be scared to own another though because it couldn't possibly live up to Tiny

I'm glad about that because the vet described him as black on his passport
Title: Re: Black and white cat appreciation thread
Post by: Dark Moon on January 20, 2008, 13:27:00 PM: B&W is gorgeous.

We all find those we feel most comfortable with. Colours, ultimately, are the packages we come with. One does not judge a book by....

My Winnie is not feeling well again so I will go.

But, you know, Black. Black and White. Ginger. Tabby. Tortie. Calico. Blue. And all those colours in between.... It's the cat who is in those colours that matters. I know you all know this.

Going to sit with my baby for a while. Don't worry (wish I couldn't!) It's happened before and will again. But........

Take care of all of you and yours.
