  What Gorgeous pics, such pretty kitties.   

[lau200]

  to the forum. lovely kitties 

[Sue P (Paddysmum)]

Tortoiseshells have a very keen intelligence, so no wonder Tigerlily picked thing up quickly.  And Dexter is just gorgeous, so of course he's going to pick thingsup quickly 

He does look a little like Riley, doesn't he? 

[pixiekitties]

wow 
Dexter really does have a resemblance to Riley

I only taught her because she seemed to be very clever, therefor I tried and she picked it up all very quickly
Even Dexter has learned to lay down and is getting there with the sit command
Its amazing to see how well they respond

Piccies of Riley and his equally hansum bruvva Lu can be found here:

Ah, you're not wrong there - I think we'd all agree that our worlds for sure are not complete without a cat 

How lovely that Tigerlily responded to you by learning the things you wanted her to do.    A perfect example of trust in operation. 

I think the heart shaped marks are very unusual and very beautiful.  I think we may need to have lots (and lots) of piccies of Dexter modelling his very own "coeur de lion"

Thankyou all

Thankyou Sue P for the condolences. She really was a truly special cat to me. She was my first cat when I moved out of my parents.
She was extremely clever. I had taught her her to come to me by shouting her name, to sit when told, lay down, roll-over, stand and she would try and have conversations with me. I basically taught her the tricks you would normally teach a dog and that was when she was approx. 7years old so to me she was very special 

Dexter is special in his own little way too. Hopefully will be getting him neutered and chipped end of October after his next check-up. He is an indoor cat, as are all of my cats, as I live in the city near to 4 busy roads, I also do not trust the teenagers around here 
I also live in a flat, although I am on the ground floor and could probably give them access to the outdoors, I certainly would not feel safe allowing them out. I am investing in buying a good quality harness to take the kitties out. Will have to over come my own hurdles first before that is achieved.

I had a look around the forum and searched for the threads of Riley, I never saw any pictures but I was reading one about a vet visit and his health. I too hope that he makes a speedy recovery and gets back to good health very soon. Its heart breaking when your babies are ill.

I have actually never saw a heart shaped marking on a cat before, until I got Dexter. It was just so unusual  and certainly shows the amount of love they have. As I like to say "My world is not complete, unless I am owned by a cat"

Welcome to Purrs - and to your beautiful Dexter Storm - what a beautifully marked boy he is. 

Special thoughts also for your beloved Tigerlily, who was also the bonniest of cats.  Am so very sad you lost her, but it's clear she had a wonderful life with you, and you shared a special bond.  That's all we can ask for any of our cats, however long or short our time is with them.

Gill's right - Dexter does bear a likeness to the most beautiful Riley, who is very ill at present .  We're all hoping he makes a very good recovery, as he's a special cat too.  (Well, they all are, aren't they, but you know what I mean, I'm sure!)

There is another forum cat - Junior Officer Ripley -  who also wears his heart on his sleeve, as it were, and has a similar heart shaped mark on him.  An outward expression of their huge capacity for love.

Thankyou

To me she was the prettiest cat I had ever seen 
She passed not long before her 10th birthday too
She certainly made a huge impact on my life

  to Purrs 

So sorry to hear about Tiger Lily who was soooooooooooooo beautiful and the kitten is the image of her 

Your blue boy beares a resemblence to a much loved cat on Purrs called Riley.

Riley is currently very ill in hospital with seizures and fits and you will see a long thread about him and hope your boy will send some good vibes to a distant relative 

I will put Tiger Lily on our Roll of Honout that is published mid Nov on Purrs birthday.

Hey everyone

I am new here. I have 1 cat, soon to be 2 as I will be adopting a little kitty very soon.

I currently have a 18weeks old blue moggy male cat called Dexter'Storm 
He is a loveable little kitty with very unique markings.
One of his markings is in fact a heart on his chest!!
He sadly has a heart murmur however it does not bother him in the slightest.
He is an indoor cat however he certainly is a born hunter.
He is extremely energetic and playful and loves nothing more than to play on his cat tree with his little squeaking mouse.
Here is a few pictures of Dexter:




I will soon be adopting a little tortoise-shell female cat.
Her mummy cat died will birthing the kittens and sadly 2 kittens were lost also.
She does have another 2 siblings who are also being adopted out.
I have decided to name her India'Rose. She is very much a kitten version of my tortie girl Tigerlily.
India'Rose is on the left and Tigerlily on the right


Princess'baby'Tigerlily  She was a maine-coon cross girl who was just loving and full of tortitude.
She was the most amazing cat I have ever had, we were inseperable and had such a unique and beautiful bond.
Sadly found out approx. 6months ago that she had acute leukaemia (non-contagious and not caused by the virus). She then contracted auto-immune haemolytic anaemia.
She was on weekly medication which was changed numerous times. She was up and down more times than a yo-yo.
I sadly had to have her put to sleep on the 2nd June. She took very ill and was diagnosed as having acute renal failure.
I miss her every second but I know I had to let her go.
Here is a few pictures of her:
