Even I couldn't get away with stealing Pinball's Grandma

I have tried many times to convince Pinball's breeder that Summer Sorbet reeeeeally wants to come and live with me but she says no lol.

I have 2 tortie females her MM and boy do we have some fun....Pippa is a grouch with other cats and Fritzy is a wind up merchant always patting Pippa's behind then running away!

Gosh the thought of her being a stray.....would of loved her to have passed my way!

Lola is fine with boy cats and gets on with tabitha ok but theres a look these 2 have between them that i just know if they were out together it wouldnt go well, Lola has always been told she is the prettiest torti mummy has and isnt happy about some flouncy fluffball saying otherwise

all interesting

Quote from: ccmacey on September 15, 2009, 17:45:02 PM

Is she a ped or a mog? Could mean a whole load of differnce if your trying to find out which shade she is

I must say again she is simply stunning, is she staying with you MM?

I have no idea if she is meant to be a certain breed or a cross as she was a stray, so shes a posh mog to me!
No shes not for keeps, shes a rescue looking for her forever home. Even if i wanted to it would be clash of the titans when torti meets torti

Lola not likey

This is Pinball's grandma who is a silver tortie ticked tabby and white, you can especially see on her legs how she doesn't have any stripes or spots on her legs but the hair is evenly ticked all the way down the hair shaft like a wild rabbit

On a shorthaired cat the ticking shows up more clearly and they look like this. Again you can see no stripes, no spots etc

Dawn F · « **Reply #39 on:** September 16, 2009, 16:17:39 PM »

his brother Oscar is a normal tabby, it little tot in the other pic is the bengal when she was a baby!

The white and tabbie is defiantly ticked, is the other tabby a Bengal? He looks like he has marbled fur

Harryand Gigga are mackeral tabbies, you can see stripes on them. In a ticked tabby you can't see any stripes, spots or classic tabby patterns.

Dawn F · « **Reply #32 on:** September 16, 2009, 15:57:31 PM »

ooh I don't know about Algie now, he was more overall coloured - anyway I'm sure someone will know??

Bazsmum · « **Reply #31 on:** September 16, 2009, 15:56:34 PM »

I think my Gigga may be ticked?

LOL Gill

I think my Harry may be ticked, just silver on the ends of his coat....what do you think?

ps sorry for hijack and will remove once someone confirms

Thanks Desley - wasn't giving a dissertation, just trying to explain that a tabby doesn't need to have stripes or spots to be a tabby.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #23 on:** September 16, 2009, 08:25:53 AM »

Actually BC, there are 4 different tabby markings, classic, mackeral, spotted and ticked. I suppose she does look a bit like a ticked tabby

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #22 on:** September 16, 2009, 01:23:07 AM »

Yes you are right cc, every single cat has a tabby gene in it and its the only thing that every cat has in common, except the obvious like eyes. ears etc lol.

Even on solid coloured cats sometimes you can see a faint M mark just above the nose when the light shines in a certain way and can see it on Ducha who of course is a birman.

blackcat · « **Reply #21 on:** September 15, 2009, 22:22:26 PM »

There are two types of tabby. One is the common one with stripes or spots, the other is also referred to as agouti. It means that each hair has three colour bands on it. It is also referred to as ticked tabby. This is the colour on a wild rabbit or an abyssinian cat (which is a tabby). So the whole of her coat, except the cream areas seems to be tabby.

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #20 on:** September 15, 2009, 17:45:02 PM »

MM I cant see any tabby anywhere, but arnt all cats meant to have a bit of tabby in them anyways

Is she a ped or a mog? Could mean a whole load of differnce if your trying to find out which shade she is

I must say again she is simply stunning, is she staying with you MM?

Thanks for suggestions

where do people see tabby?

blackcat · « **Reply #18 on:** September 15, 2009, 11:20:48 AM »

That's the word - bet she is a real character. Pop her in a box and send her to me!!

Dawn F · « **Reply #17 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:59:33 AM »

Daisymac · « **Reply #16 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:51:01 AM »

Def looks like a Somali to me, maybe a lilac cream tortie ??

Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's) · « **Reply #15 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:17:02 AM »

Somali's (like the rather lovely Mosi)

blackcat · « **Reply #14 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:12:10 AM »

She looks like a long-haired abyssinian to me (they have a breed name, but can't remember it right now).
