WElcome to Purrs, Kitty is actually a tortie tabby, as she has markings for both. Calico's are like Sasa, where they are predominantly white with some tortie markings. She is very pretty though, I like tortie tabbys
Please spay your cat

Hi Tez.

We have 3 kitties.  Fizz (FIV+), Molly & Amy. (Molly is Amy's Mum)

We used to have a cat called Kitty - she came with that name too!

See pix below - Kitty is the black one snuggled up to Mitzi the Tabby.  Both gone to the Bridge now. :(
Luv & hugs,

lol

When i got kitty you could only stroke her head coz if not she would bite and scratch you to pieces but once i had had her for a couple of weeks she soon got used to being stroked and now you cant get away from her unless you stroke her lol My gf was asleep the other morning and then kitty was all over her she tried to ignore her so kitty then decided to walk over her face lol

She is Sasa (Sasha) and 10 yrs old and not had a good home for years, if ever till she came hear over 2 yrs ago. She is scared of everything and I cant touch her or walk close to her cos she runs away in a panic but as you can see she likes her creature comforts now  ;D

thought this might help you:

If you need help resizing your pics the following may help:


http://www.download.com/JPEGCompress/3000-2204_4-10404412.html?tag=lst-0-1

or

Image Resizer for windows XP

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
It's the 10th or 11th on the right hand side .. Image resize.
Once installed right click on the photo you want to resize.
Select resize pictures
Select advanced
Select custom
Put in 400 by 300 (sometimes you have to put in smaller figures if it is still too big).
Click ok and it makes a custom photo ready for uploading

You can resize more than one picture at a time by highlighting them all and following the resizing steps above.
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

now going to try and add pix, Have had her 2-3months now and she has grown so much, Shes so cheeky she sits there with her tongue out lol.
two weekends ago she got stuck up a tree and had to stay up there the night coz it was 2 dark to go and get her so at half 7 the next morning i had to climb about 25ft up an oak tree to get her she was starvin came in ate 3 pouches of food and then slept the rest of the day lol she hasnt been out much since, Im planning on getting another cat maybe the same age as her or a bit younger as she seems a bit lonely on her own
