So far poll is going how I expected cos so many have B&W and gingers but surprised about the blues, thought they may be top....................felt sorry that I couldnt add my tortie but I needed to limit the poll to three votes, started it with one  :rofl:

Brown was added a bit later cos  I didnt think of brown, sorry.

Isnt is strange that the second and third most popular are b/w and black when they are usually the ones overlooked in rescues and shelters  :Crazy:

loving these new emoticons by the way   :wow:

Hey Lottie, I too think of the tabbies as being closest to bengals (hence I voted them no1 faves). ?Not sure about marble (which Lenny is). ?I did hear him described as a clouded leopard once though by his breeder. ?I shall try to find out (could be just want to be different!)

Having had tortoiseshells and whites in the past, with a black one, ginger one and a tabby now, I just can't decide!  Who cares, they're all great?! I used to think sphinxes were repulsive until I met one! Personality matters more than colour.

I think of the bengal which is usually brown spotted and.........er.........well, they are spectacular.

But spotted is just a type of tabby so they are just tabbies. Bilbo is a black mackeral tabby but doesn't look black as other than his black markings the rest of him is light brownish as it is in all brown/black tabbies (if he didn't have white feet the fur on the base of his feet would be black though).
Only proper brown cat I can think of is the Havana brown and I think Burmeses are brown although I could be wrong.

Talking of Bengals does anyone know why they call one coat pattern 'marble' when in every other breed its called blotched or classic tabby?? Do they just like to be different lol?

Oh, such a poll is unfair although I 'disloyally' voted tortie, just 'cos they're so pretty.? But in all honesty, it is unimportant because it does not take into account that 'special something' that makes certain cats stand out as 'the one' for you.

Most of my cats are rescue and came into my life unexpectedly but when I see the vote for brown cats so low, I think of the bengal which is usually brown spotted and.........er.........well, they are spectacular.

Yup I treated everyone to pics of our neighbours when their ma & pa where away in Florida in August. Sorry to say we live in North Pole and no petrol stations North of John 'o Groats so you'd have a job filling up your tank and won't get far at 20mpg. Never mind Lynn.... phew that was a close one :evillaugh:

perhaps we should have another poll re what colour cats people actually have.? Then we can see whether people actually have the colour they said was their favourite!

I am quite surprise by the results so far as when we get calls for cats everyone and their grandmas it seems, if given a choice would ask for grey.

oooh, exciting int it!?!?!?!!?!?

i voted black (jasper), black and white (suzie) and blue/grey (ok.... no names for this one, but think they're mighty cute and maybe one day....)

have to confess i'm kinda shocked by ginger winning.  but then loads of people have them on here dont they. and all the photos are stunning!! oh dear - hope i dont get things thrown at me for saying i'm shocked!!! just never knew gingers were so popular before meeting loads of peeps here.  never known many of them myself, just the one in fact....

ok, i'm rambling. my project is getting to me today, i'm sorry!!  :-*

Had to vote black due to Tom and Billy but might sneak in a tabbie vote too if no one minds in memory of Aslan the most beautiful cat EVER
