And thats how I ended up with Harry - went looking for a pure white cat - came home with a ginger n white!

Fair point - when I got Old Mog, I'd initially chosen a small torti who was semi feral. Fate played a part in the situation because the little kitten fell ill and didn't make it. It was terribly sad, but I think things happen for a reason.

I like to think the little torti is playing with other cats that have passed on somewhere now.

I don't think many people end up with the cat they think they want, if you were to ask me before getting my two i'd have said i love BIG fluffy boy cats, and i've ended up with two dainty little DSH girlies and i wouldn't change them for he world. :Luv2: I was never a big fan of tabbies but since getting Ginny i look at every cat i see and there are so many gorgeous colours and patterns of tabbies, i love them. :Luv2:

Well only two fit on your list LOL cos I have two posh cats  :rofl: :rofl:

Franta a seal point and Ducha a blue point.

Misa of course my giant B& W and then Missa Sasa a calico.

I reckon I just love all colours and Kocka was of course a blue cat. so have great affection for them but also I love pale gingers and definately B&Ws but also love dilute torties and calicos and blacks.....well just all of them really .........sigh

Ive fostered and owned all sorts but Ive never had a ginger .... 

I must have told lots of people that Id love a ginger kitten (not going to happen while we have Mr T and Chloe) as Ive been given several ginger soft toys. 

They used to sit on the bed but Mr T has ousted them and I now have a small cat collection in the corner of the bedroom.  OH calls it my feral colony  :rofl:

Calico I prefer, a pet must have white for me, I have 14 piggies and only 2 have no white. I have 9 cats and only 2 have no white. My rabbits all have white.
My dogs are both yellow, no white  :rofl:

I  have 2 tortoise, one with just a bit of white, the other one more and then one calico
.
I happen to have 3 black/white males, the youngest just a touch of white.
Then one ginger female with only the smallest spot of white and one tortiepoint siamese.
And of course my baby, grey tabby + white.
Every life should have 9 cats

I have only chosen 4 of my cats and always seem to go for the black and whites. I was really unsure about getting Harry, he's my all grey boy, cos I thought it would look strange for some reason  :Crazy:

And with Princess De-Lyla there was a ginger and black and white in her litter, but Lyla was just too pretty to walk on by. So I choose her  :Luv2: She is my very cute but nutty naughty tortie.

Umm, I've got a couple of sepia agouti coloured Singapuras, but I have always liked small black cats, white cats, grey cats  and am a sucker for blue eyed cats, would love a rag doll or birman type some day.

Crikey these stats keep changing all the time. 

I've rarely chosen my cats but do have a thing for blacks, I've never had an all ginger, all tabby or grey cat

i love pure blacks and pure whites, but not always keen on black and whites, although I like white and blacks. I also love tabbies and gingers. Not overly keen on torties, despite technically owning one (not my choice, that was down to the rescue for not rehoming her). I would love to own a grey and white at some point, but i rarely get to choose my cats!!

Jake is pure black.  Of my previous four two where black and white sisters, the other two black except Jade did that wonderful chestnut tan in the summer when she sunbathed.  I also have a love of gingers, having a little ginger boy who comes to visit on a regular basis - he is a neighbour's cat but very friendly.

Forgot to say what is  my favourite.  Neither Jaffa nor Mosi were deliberately chosen because they were red, but I have to admit that I do have a soft spot for red cats now, so if I had to choose a colour I'd probably go for red.  But once I start thinking about what colours I like I generally find something to like about almost any colour.  I love black and whites cos Magpie was black and white  :Luv:, black cats tend to have lovely shiny fur, I love torties that have little splodges on their nose, I love blue and silver somalis.....

The reason for the black/ chestnut is.... My Ollie is black but in the sun he is chestnut, but hold on I will do a pure black, as I know some people have these.

You can do a round up of all cats if you like  :)

Yep our Squeaky was black but had distinct auburn tinge on his tum in the sun, whereas Timmy was jet black.  Smokey was black with sort of specks of white in and Schui was black but with white bib, back feet and 1 front toe  :evillaugh: Byron is tortie and white and our Penny was tabby and white.  I have a soft spot for black cats.

I like this thread it's interesting  ;D

I went and checked the first 'black' one (with chestnut brown), but they're actually completely black except for a few white tummy hairs.

My fave colour is grey and white.  I don't know why!  And I don't have one that colour!
