What Breed of Cat Please?

Reece · 10-13-07, 04:55 AM

Hi, 6 months ago I had to take one of my cats to the vet to be put down after a snake bite that also caused him to go blind, yesterday I took my other cat in as it had an ear infection that turned out to be cancer & had to have her put down.

I am a cat lover & this particular cat was a good friend always following me where ever I went, a very good companion, anyway I thought I would get another cat & always wanted one such as:

or:

Does anyone know what breed these are, the second looks a little like a scottish fold?

Many thanks.

The big (or should i say fat

) guy on top looks like a "Kartäuser"

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kart%C3%A4userkatze as we name them here - sadly i don't know their english name, maybe "Chartreux". They always have this steel-blue plushy skin and are usually quite tall. You cannot go wrong with this cat as they are usually calm and adherent and have a nice character. There are also British Shorthair with this color but they are smaller ...

Yes, i also think that the lower is a Scottish Fold.

I'm sorry Reece, but I own a Alaskan Malamute wolf. We both kinda don't like cats, I kick them and the wolf eats them....but I must say, I dont mind the look of that big smokey grey cat, nice looking.

(only joking about the kicking).

That's ok Venatore I kick dogs but there ya go!!

..... Just kidding I shoot them ..... just kidding again!

Thanks Lurchi, I will look into the name, it may not be available here in Australia & if it is it maybe way too pricey!!

I am not really a cat lover, but I know how I feel about my dog, and she is a member of the family. I am very sorry for your loss.

Reece · 10-13-07, 07:51 AM

Thanks Takeda Shingen, you don't really know how much you get attached to pets untill something like this happens, I live in the bush & cats are a must really for the rats, mice & yes even the snakes, better the cat than one of my grand children! But yes it still hurts!

Cheers.

G'Day All

I will try to keep this happy because thats how she made us feel

I can't believe that the night before my cat died I spent a couple of
hours going through your subsim cat thread

showing my Wife every cat !
You have or in some cases including myself, had some great cats,

I will post a pick soon

Thanks Puss 4da good times, 9 years. rip.

Took me a few days, so here she is

we called her our dogcat because she would act more like a dog than a cat. Always by your side and follow you everywhere.
She put a smile on our faces and made us laugh

Named Snowbell by the kids she was born on that infamous day, September 11, an easy birthday to remember.
This thread is much harder to do than I thought,

I must go now. No I am a man of steel and a little rust won't hurt me. We will miss her sitting quietly beside us, wanting nothing than just to be there, love ya Snowbell.

Already dearly missed xox

Pretty as a picture

And her buddy Nudge also 9 and still here

I have 7 of the furry goofballs.(5 of them are sisters, the 6th is their mom and the 7th is an old one eyed male cat)They belonged to my late mother.
