This is just a fun poll to see what are colour cats are mostly in our homes and to see if the blacks and black and whites fair worse than other colours.
I dont think they will on Purrs but lets see ;D
-
Well there is my vote and of course the bloomin birmans dont fit cept in others ! :rofl: :rofl:
-
That's me voted!
I've got:
2 x black
2 x black and white
1 x white
1 x tabby and white
-
well, my two have been black and white (^suzie^), and black (jasper)
good poll!!!
-
Voted :wow: I don't like the word 'blue' for grey cats though, that's a pedigree term and when you look at the boys they are obviously grey not blue.
-
Wish I coul;d spell lol and cant figure how to change it at moment!
How did you get two votes for one color in?
-
Have only put in one vote for each colour.
-
Sorry but my Kocka wasnt a pedigree and the vet called her blue, I dont think its a pedigree term at all, its just posh for grey :rofl: :rofl:

I cancelled my vote then did it again with one black + one B&W
Willow said she is not impressed and that kylie needs 3 votes just for her :evillaugh:
-
Just added my two to the poll,they are ginger and white and tabby and white :)
-

Ah, I've done it now - I think. Couldnt work out how to get the poll clickable/tickable again LOL! - its late and I never meant to be sitting here till this time of night, now I'll never be able to get up in the morning - no change there then :evillaugh:

-
Mine are...... 1 x Black

1 x W & grey fluffball
That's all folks ;)
-
i included bridge babes, so have had:
2 x white
2 x black
1 ginger and white
1 tabby
1 tabby and white
1 black and white
-
I had to put Mango as Tabby and white, as there wasn't a box for "random tortie and white with Aby ticking"!!!!!! :rofl:
-
At the moment I've got...
1x black
2x black & white
1x grey & white
1 blonde? (I’m not sure of the technical colour of our Burmese).
-
Is blue-cream classed as tortie? I don't want to forget my little angel Hope on the Bridge :Luv:
-
My Ginger monsters are in ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Put my mob in.(including Parsley) Although I think both her and Little Cat would be classed as tabby tortis, which I couldn't see.
-
My mob are in - Mosi would have you know he's red and not ginger :P But he's down as ginger. Magpie was black and white.
-
One each of black and blue here.
Blue is the correct term for a solid grey cat - and the fur should have a bluish / slate tinge to it. Madam Pearl is noticeably toned towards the blue. Blue is the dilute of black.
If the "grey" is lighter and warm in tone (tending towards the brown / pink) then it is known as Lilac and it is the dilute of chocolate - a colour not found in genuine mogs.
Auferstehen, looking at the pic of Lirael in your sig, I'd say a cream Burmese.
-
:Luv:both mine are tortie. as most of you know I adore the tortie cat. Mrs Moggs 5 year old dilute tortie and Ruby Red_slipper a lovely 8 week old black tortie ......alas the photos dont show the true colours
-
ummm I think we need a section .... 2 of my babies are Abysinnians and are described as (usual) however I will accept a red / brown section ;)
-
Gill - we have a white boy who has a black tail but he deffo more white than black also what about the posh cats some of us have no catergories or colurs for the bengalies, or raggies or the persians - Just picky I know
Whats the catch!
-
How confusing was that ?! (or is just me?)
Ok I have -
2 Black and white
2 Tabby
2 Tabby and White
3 Brindle
1 Tortie Tabby
1 Red point
At the Bridge I have
1 Black and White
1 Tabby and white
1 Grey and White
1 LH Brindle
-
Jasmine who's at the bridge was black and white, Lucas, her baby, was blue. Tigger's ginger, Meeko's black and white, Daisy's a tortie and Belle is blue and white :)
-
30 votes isnt enough for Liz Gill :rofl:
-
I ran out of ginger and whites!
I have:
1 ginger
1 black
1 black and white
And on the bridge:
2 black
2 tortie
1 black and white
1 tabby and white
1 ginger
4 ginger and white
-
No we need 36 plus 5 at the bridge - one of each colour there and what about grey and white - have 3 of those and torties come in 3 colour ways in our mob to!
Also outside we have white and black, tabby - white pawed tabby and one not sure keep seeing bits and its odd colours!
On that note I am just saying we have one or two more than most as do some of the others except they do rehome them ours are keepers!!
-
That's me voted!
I've got:
2 x black
2 x black and white
1 x white
1 x tabby and white
we are almost matching - 2x black, 2x black and white, 1x white and 1x tabby. One of the blacks and the tabby have sadly gone to r bridge
-
ummm I think we need a section .... 2 of my babies are Abysinnians and are described as (usual) however I will accept a red / brown section ;)
Well ticking is really just a form of the tabby pattern, so technically they could be counted as tabbies. Although I have put Mosi down as ginger and not tabby.. look what you've started, Gill :rofl:

GINGER :Crazy: I don't think Zephyr will be very happy with that :rofl: but just to keep the peace I'll go with it. ;)
-
Well Mosi counts as ginger but he's not the same colour as your hooligans ;D I've put him down as 'ginger' but following the reasoning I gave you for Abys being tabbies, Mosi should be a red tabby and down as 'tabby' ;D
Oh it's just too confusing!
-
Goes to show, our lot are suckers for the B&Ws and Black babies
-
Both Brother Baggins and King Bilbo are orange flavour :)
-
Both Brother Baggins and King Bilbo are orange flavour :)
And quite beautiful they are too :Luv: :Luv:
-
Right I will try and add some more categories, I was at the beginning trying to keep it simple, which should really have been Black, black and white and the rest :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Its confusing and I accept that, cos I didnt keep it simple but I knewwwwwwwwwwww someone would complain and I lost my Others that I cant remember category cos I changed it to colourpoint cos was drowning in Gillians persians early this morning.........sigh.
Right will do my best but it will just get more confuddling cos I cant change the order of the list, well ummmm without a lot of work, sooooooooooooo make it clear what you need from now on..........it ginger and white 5th vote or bengals 7th vote cos thinking cant remember how many bengals linda has............sigh
Whe the poll is finished I will add up the votes and see what we have but I reckon that the black and whites are very well owned by Purrs people ;D
-
Mine are Black, Black and Tortie! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Right, have added some more categories and grey and white is blue and white please ;D
I am not doing breeds so if you have a pedigree that cant be colour coded use others , sorry :(
I think I have enough spaces for you now Liz but if I am still a clor missing tell me which and how many more tyou have in it. Same for anyone else.
Oh boy I really should have done this KISS :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
bengals 7th vote cos thinking cant remember how many bengals linda has............sigh
Make that 11! :rofl: :rofl:
-
Yes had a sneakie feeling it was so she has 11 others then ;D

-
Ummmmmmmmm Liz
I take it means that you are short of some voting places, what colours and how many more of each do you need please :rofl: :rofl:
-
we didn't get a choice - our local rescue just gave us 2 of what they had available. As OH said, doesn't really matter what colour they are, all kittens have a shelf-life and are harder to shift the older they get cos some people only want really little 'uns :'(.
We just wanted 2 ;D
-
Two Black and White...one Ginger....one grey..... and two Tabby [Mavis is at the bridge]
-
I am going to do my voting on weekend when i have time off work! I have only three cats now,but to do my babies at the bridge is going to take a while :( ? Ithink when you count the votes on the last day you findout many peeps on purrs do have b or b/w, but the problem comes from the people who dont have many cats and when they go to a rescue home thier first choice is mostly other colours,thats why is so many b or b/w are available? Tonight i checked on line the rescue i mentioned last week to see if any of the thirteen have been rehomed but sadly not and now there is fifteen and i think they put the ones which are more difficult to rehome on line ,i am not sure though? One thing i am sure at this rescue they find it difficult to rehome the FIV ones,tere are two blacks and one young tabby and they havebeen there for long time,if people are not interested in healthy young b or b/w whats the chances for the two blacks with FIV?? Well tomorrow is the world animal day,lets hope atleastfor one day people are kinder to little furrybabes :)
My cats at home:
BOY BLACK PHOEBE B/W MR TRAMP B/W
-
Worls Animal Day tomorrow.............I will post that up on Purrs tonight , thanks. ;D
Yes FIV even harder to home than black and black and white and I know when I went to look for a pair of new cats , I would have taken any colour except blue, cos kocka was blue..............so ended up with a b&W and a calico tortie ;D
-
OOH,yes from 1st-7th october is world animal week, and tomorrow is world animal day. :thanks: its great if you post this tonight. And Gill your b/w and tortie are both beautifull ;)
-
Thanks very much, I love em ;D
-
Hey where is the gorgeous grey? My cat is certainly not blue :-: He is a real live cat not a cartoon lol.
I not voting till grey gets added. :sneaky:
-
Hey where is the gorgeous grey? My cat is certainly not blue :-:
Hear Hear ;D The boys are NOT happy that I had to put them down as blue, how ridiculous they said :doh: :Crazy:
-
Sorry they will be no grey cos the official name for grey is blue and effectively there are no grey cats :shify: :shify:
Now from an artists point of view grey is just a shade of other colours and mosts greys are a version of blue.
Come on let him be an officialy posh grey and vote blue :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Come on let him be an officialy posh grey and vote blue :hug: :hug: :hug:
Don't do it CC! I sold out and am ashamed of myself, don't do it to Harry :evillaugh: ;)
-
Nah sorry cant do it, there is nothing posh about Harry, he is officially a tramp!
Hum may have to get him up here to start a protest on cats mouth. :evillaugh:
-
My goodness a riot on Purrs :rofl: :rofl:
Go on you know you want to ;D
-
Nah sorry cant do it, there is nothing posh about Harry, he is officially a tramp!
Hum may have to get him up here to start a protest on cats mouth. :evillaugh:
Lucas and Riley said they'll hold a banner for him :wow: They want me to retract my 'blue' votes and get a backbone - they've never heard anything so ridiculous - blue cats :Crazy: :doh:
-
Ok maybe tomorrow, Harry is a dirty stop out and will not be in till the wee hours and he not too good with his spelling so mummy has to help him out, but yes there will be a protest and am sure Lukey and Riley will have something to say too. :evillaugh:
-
Pearl would be MOST offended if I had to call her a "grey" :doh:
She threatens to fart in the face of anyone who describes her as anything BUT blue. :sick:
-
:faint: :faint: :faint:
-
Yes but Pearl is blue.
This is Harry and he is most defiantly GREY! Thats it just wait till he comes home :P
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Oooh a bit of controversy - I like it :rofl: Have done my votes and thankfully nothing controversial :evillaugh: - two tabbies, one tortie and one ginger and white. One tabby and tortie sadly at rainbow bridge but currently owned by one tabby and one ginger and white. :Luv:
-
This is Harry and he is most defiantly GREY! Thats it just wait till he comes home :P
Harry is a perfect example of a blue tabby.

oooooooooooooooo does Harry look like that?

-
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo you are wrong, that is one blue but there are many others and some are grey lol.
Now in that picture I definatelt see blue in the fur, not your crayon but in the fur , in fact there are many many colours there.............cats are blue ;D
-
:rofl:
Mosi did get a bit stroppy when he found out I'd put him down as ginger. He insists he's red and not ginger but I told him if he had a problem with his colour description, he could sort it out with Gill himself. I'm not getting involved.
-
I don't think the boys are going to budge on this one Gill :evillaugh: They are threatening to pull out of the poll :scared: I've told them not to be so silly, it's all a bit of fun but there's no calming them down - the air is blue in my house, erm No - I mean grey :doh:
-
Thanks Susanne ;D
Yes I reckon the air is blue :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
I don't think the boys are going to budge on this one Gill :evillaugh: They are threatening to pull out of the poll :scared: I've told them not to be so silly, it's all a bit of fun but there's no calming them down - the air is blue in my house, erm No - I mean grey :doh:
Do you think they might accept silver grey or blue &grey??
-
Even if they would they not getting it :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :shify: :shify: :shify: :shify: :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:
-
I had a persian (Persia), they said she was blue persian, but she was grey and never complained being called blueeee 8) and what about the black cats sometimes they are brown ,still called black :sneaky:,just explain to boys its us humans .dont know the difference :evillaugh:
-
Yes I suppose Harry does look like that, but there are darker and lighter shades of grey. I would call the darker shades blue and the lighter gray. Eg Pearl is blue and Harry is gray lol.
There is nothing posh about Harry and he feels a bit of a girl if he were to accept this lol.
Harry says "not everything is black n white" we have a grey living here too. :bum:
-
Mine was clear cut ;D Archie is black and white, but more white. My gorgeous Biggles was ginger and my adorable Henri was black and white.
-
Also put my permanent visitors down ;D Scruffy tortie and white and Parki black and white
-
Well I am sorry that Harry is so snooty cos this thread is really about black, and B&Ws to see if Purrs people seem to follow a trend of not having these colour cats.
So Harry will have to come down to earth with a bump cos he is just one of the rest really :shify: :shify: :shify:
Purrs people it seems are very likely to have or had one of the lovely Black or B&W cats and it looks like we dont care about the colour, whats more important is its a cat that needs ahome ;D
So Harry mate, you can figure in this poll or not and thats up to you :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Well Harry is a gorgeous grey/silver/blue young man 8),and the main thing he has a slave to serve him so he is also a lucky chap,so is his slave to have him :cheeky: :vote:
-
So the main aim of this thread is to see if peeps like or tend not to go for blacks and black n whites?
-
Yes it is but it got rather complicated cos I knew some peeps had a lot of cats but wish I had mane it Black, B&W and rest :rofl: :rofl:
I even typed in an explanation at the beginning but where it vanished to :Dont know: :Dont know:
Voting started so quick so I was forced to improvise :evillaugh: :evillaugh: but its great to see what colour cats we all have, bluesssssssssss tooooooooooooo :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
-
Ah good one you done this so not to offend peeps when (IF) some people say they didnt like blacks or black n whites :sneaky:
Actually someone said they didnt like black cats to me the other day and I thought well good job he's not your cat (talking about my Ollie) It got my goat a bit.
-
I did the voting but couldnt put all my babes at the bridge?? Also i wasnt sure is champain is others? :), But the poll is great shame B & B/W are not so popular out there :(
-
what colour are your bridge babes , cos will add some more voting places for their colour ;D
-
Gil, i did put my bridge babes which i had since i came to England, but i've had kittys since i was six years old and in my country you find very few people which have cats or dogs indoor ,some who love animals feed them out in garden and...,so i was allowed to have one or two...cat as pet indoor and many more in our garden which i would lookafter during summer school holiday and then some would come back next year and stay so i am not sure really if i can call them my babes?? And they were mixture of all colours and ages ;),the ones i looked after inside if i remember right were: 2 B/W 3 GINGER 3 TORTIES 1 BLUE 1 WHITE+GREY SPOTS 2 TABBY 1 CREAM :Luv:
-
Ok confused LOL how many votes have you done already for those colours?
We dont do grey so blue and white for the spotted one unless its a tabby maybe?
Cream ummmmmmm, do you get cream cats?
Oh boy why didnt i make this easier :rofl: :rofl:
-
I included my lot since leaving home including Bridge babes. 3 black, 2 B&W, 2 tabbies, 1 white/tabby, 1 tortie(?)
If I went back to before I left home there would have been many more black and B&W. I simply don't understand their unpopularity in the world outside Purrs.
Wasn't sure what to put Dingle down as but plumped for tortie which isn't right I know. What do you think? We had a drawing done of her in 1992 when she was 15 and it is as good as a photo of her esp the colouring. She passed away on my birthday in 1997 just short of her 21st birthday so it will be 10 years next Saturday. I loved that wicked bundle :Luv:
-
Dingle looks like a tortie to me but maybe a dilute tortie, thats when the colours are lighter and more pastel shades.
She looks lovely in her picture ;D
-
OK now i confused myself :Crazy:, i didnt put any of he one i had in my country in voting?? The one with spotcall it tabby,...dont matter,i meant creme as colour soooory ;D, yes there are creme cats and champagne colour as well, i will find the piccis ,dont know where they are ? I will post them someday :evillaugh:
-
She looks like a blue cream tortie to me
-
Obviously on here we love black cats :Luv:
-
YOU see Gill i was right about cream?? :sneaky:,I changed it to creme ;),??? :evillaugh:
Rosella , she looks like a special tortie, beautifull colours :Luv:
-
"Blue cream tortie" so I was right putting tortie then. Complete fluke ;D
She was small, very beautiful (different shades of grey and fawn) and a complete spitfire who ruled me without mercy. Mustn't get maudlin....
-
Yep!! I like what I call dilutes, the ones that are more like grey cats with bits of cream in them - or as my friend called the one she saw last year 'blue and pink'!!
-
I understood what you meant about cream colour but didnt think that there was a cream coloured cat except maybe when they are torties ;D
I know my Ducha is very cream looking but he is a blue point.
-
You can get cream coloured cats (cream is just a dilute of red), but they are generally pedigrees. My neighbour has a cream and white cat, here is a pic

-
Yep!! I like what I call dilutes, the ones that are more like grey cats with bits of cream in them - or as my friend called the one she saw last year 'blue and pink'!!
I was told once my joojoo was blue/pink and i thought ya, what next blue&green, but i foundout there are blue/pink!
-
Hm... I can't find the box to tick for "Red Silver Tabby and White"... :rofl:
At least Monkey is pure black (I've had black cats most of my life, but all the others always had a collection of a few white hairs under their chin or something - but not Monkey!). It's easier when you have to fill in forms at vets etc... Poppy's colour never fits! :rofl: Not to mention that there's never enough space for "Norwegian forest cat".
-
Thats a stunning cat Desley
red/silver /tabby and white hmmmmmmmmmmmmm :rofl: :rofl:
Well you can go red cos its red tabby or red and white or just plain ole tabby...............nooooooooooo I dont mean tabbies are plain or even old................sigh
-
She is Gill, never seen a cat with markings like hers before.
-
