The picture does not show the colour properly, they are not grey but silver

You don't get silver as a self colour, T - well not as far as I know. In that case hey are most certainly smokes, shaded or tipped instead - the way to tell is to part the fur and look at the colour of the hair close to the skin.

If there is white on the lower part of the hair shaft, then these cats carry the genes for smoke, shading or tipping. Both are alleles of the same basic gene. A smoke has only a small amount of white on the hair, whereas a tipped has about 3/4 of the hair white and a shaded is somewhere in between the two.

The result of this gene (I think it's correct designation is I) is to give the cats a metallic-type appearance.

The blue/grey means one of the parents was carrying the dilute gene. but only one cos there seems to be black in some of them too, so they can't both have carried it. We had a white and black mum in last year who produced tortie kittens, dilute torties and can't remember the other colours!!

They are great and love the colors

Oh, she's gorgeous bless her, and so are her kits!

Looks like you got blue and blue smoke there as well...

Guess its just an extra boys name needed so in the absence of new suggestions he is Raffles

I am mixed up now (it has been a very busy day with lots of alarming deadlines). Who is Raffles and what are his littermates called?

But I loved those names so did Ruth

I was hoping that I dreamt that post from you....but clearly not!! Ok- you can have them, but I am glad I won't be at the vets when you have to say their names and then spell them!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #163 on:** August 07, 2007, 22:02:40 PM »

When Isabella has her babies I bags
Hiawatha and Minihaha from the litery section

Perfect news Claire. Pleased he's ok.

Bless him !!

ClaireR · « **Reply #160 on:** August 07, 2007, 21:23:11 PM »

Ok - the naming committee is now in session.

Formal votes have been cast and I can reveal the results from the swedish jury are as follows.....

Amelias kittens will hereby be called........

Toby
Lucia
Sofia

Struggling for a boys name that matches with these...can I open it up to the danish jury for their suggestions/votes?

P.S Ruth - vet isn't sure what happened to Garcia - thinks that he either fell on something or pushed up against something sharp. My big man is much more himself today and DESPERATE to get out, but he has no chance until his stiches are sorted. He has resisted the litter tray for 24 hours, but finally gave in at tea time and made some room for his dinner

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #159 on:** August 07, 2007, 12:07:18 PM »

OO T I think those names are fab. I looooove Haiwatha!

JackSpratt · « **Reply #158 on:** August 07, 2007, 12:05:55 PM »

What about Menue? I have no idea where it's from, I just think it's sweet.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #157 on:** August 07, 2007, 11:46:43 AM »

Think I have 2 names I`d like to put forawrd for consideration
Hiawatha and Minnehaha

yes I`m being serious

Naming committe will be back in action shortly....Garcia came in with a large gash on his side on sunday night and so spent yesterday in the vets being knocked out and stitched up. They also found a dodgy tooth so he had that out too while he was under. 5 stiches later, he was home last night, but has been very restless. Not been on the forum much as been worrying about him.

Will promise to kick the committee into action later today!!

Aw. Lots of kisses and heatbutts for him Claire. Poor mite needs a hug.

Any idea what caused the gash?

How about Marishka for one of the girls? If I was spelling it in Czech it would be Mariska of course

and Luchia (Lucia) for the other.

Reynard · « **Reply #152 on:** August 06, 2007, 22:21:34 PM »

One of my friends has a cat called Amadeus - a longhaired tabby lad, and another has a cat called Littleman Raffles - a longhaired white...

Robert is a great name

I wonder why you think that

Mr T should deffo be reserved for a huge black tom cat ~~who wears a lot of gold~~

2 of Angelicas siblings need names so will use Eugenie and Pushkin as the 4th kitten already named Minibuster.

Will take cowardly way out and pass all other suggestions onto my chief name decider Claire

But think maybe Mr T should be used for a big bruiser cat,so perhaps we do need 2 girls and 2 boys names.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #148 on:** August 06, 2007, 17:56:28 PM »

I think there is a Pushkin there somewhere. And a Raffles...
