Nope, I'm not putting this on here to highlight the stupidity of this guys owners, I just think he's stunning! (But you're allowed to make your own opinions about the stupidity!)

Another person who thinks they have a good breeding cat just cos it is a male tortie - even if it isnt sterile, it wont be any different than any other colour, the males dont throw both red and ginger genes like the female torties, just one or the other. God knows how many kittens that has already fathered though, being 5, unneutered and liking outdoor access!! He is gorgeous though

Yep, I noticed the outdoor part too. He's probably a daddy many times over.  :Crazy:

He is, almost too pretty to be a boy. If I had to guess the sex I would most certainly have said female.

I have and I am sure you will have come up with my thoughts.

I hate the name "PRELOVED" as it implies he's not loved anymore  :'(

I didn't look that close before but yes you are quite right.  I had thought anyway of posting that if I had it I would have it tested but  I didn't want to start off another argument discusion.  ;D

When i see a cat for sale like this one
i feel like going and buying him getting him neutered and then re homing him
what i dont understand is , if someone cant keep there cat any longer then why put it up for sale on the internet ???? why not sign him/her over to a rescue ,least then they would have a decent chance of having a half decent life  >:(

i guess it would only matter for future homing choices and being on alert for any early signs of illness.

Agreed on all three counts!  ;D

Hope he gets a good home anyway.
