mad house Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Does anyone have any of the above cats, if so I need to know what their temperment is like, we are looking for a nice placid lap cat that wont attack you as soon as look at you!! If anyone knows of any for sale that would be good too. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauty-Box Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Here's Saffron our British Blue Shorthair. She is 8 years old. She is a real character and she loves to curl up on hubby's knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 That cat is gorgeous, so cuddly and cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Burmese are amazing cats for their owners but can be agressive to other cats, especially neighbouring cats. But it will love you endlessly. I drove to Wales yesterday to pick up our new Mau. My husband couldn't believe that even though we own four cats, and two kittens haven't been collected yet, we were still driving hundreds of miles to spend £400 on a kitten. He is the most exquisitely beautiful cat though, and feisty with it. He wapped my MILs mad dog on the nose and is holding his own against the house of cats (imagine one small kitten, on a bookcase hissing, while six cats of varying sizes sit at the bottom glowering). Sorry, hijacked thread, but NEW KITTEN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunty e Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Couldn't get camera to work, but don't worry, I will tonight! here is a picture of Cleo and her babies (who are far to old to be feeding from their poor mother) to make up for my lack of foresight.

The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Awww, lovely kitty pix. My Biscuit is a cream tabby and a British short hair - he's the most lovable and cuddly cat out. I always find that neutered males are most affectionate. Here's a pic of him helping to decorate the Christmas tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad house Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thats it then......we are getting another cat! Anyone know where I can get one, don't suppose there are any breeders on the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I love neutered male cats too (we've got 3 !) Just plain old moggies though. Our chickens are the only non rescue animal we've got! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Our Georgie is a rescue cat and a total moggie. The poor wee thing was very badly treated and is still scared of her own shadow. Biscuit was the result of a local family's pedigree British Blue queen enjoying a meaningful one night stand with the local cream tabby tom. His sisters look like British Blues.

Cinnamon Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 My Chilli is a half Bengal half moggie, a neutered male & very sweet & affectionate. he is almost dog like. He comes when he is claaed & follows me around the garden too. I am really hankering after another kitten myself - I should never have looked at this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 That's a gorgeous picture Sarah! Biscuit is like that too and very devoted - I was on the PC last night, and he got up on my lap - stood up and started nuzzling my neck and chin. Don't start me off on Kittens I guess it's cheaper than a baby though.. and more realistic for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The Hubby is away snowboarding this week,so he owes me, stuck at home with a vomiting child He may just come home to a new member of the family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Way to go Sarah, just don't get one without taking me along... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 and me, and me I would love another kitty, but ours wouldnt be happy, she gets all upset when something new happens (but she was really brave the other day when someone came to look at the cube, she came outside and looked at it too ) its great fun when we go and visit mum and dad, and she comes too cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sorry I completely missed this post yesterday. This is my psychologically challanged cat Rosie, she's a British cream. She is a very affectionate cat but does suffer with obsessive compulsional grooming and has bouts of hair loss due to this. She's also bi polar and has months of depression followed by months of insane delight! Despite all her 'problems', which are probably why she was a rescue cat I love her dearly and love the shorthair British breed. Go for it!

The Dogmother Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Awww, Sarah, she looks just like Biscuit except he's more tabby ... would she like a very affectionate and playful boyfriend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm sure she would love Biscuit but in my previous experience of her with neutered toms she likes to pin them down and bite their ears!! He is a beautiful boy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Good That would serve him right for terrorising my little rescue cat Might teach Fat Boy a lesson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
