Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd let you know new babies growing nicely and having fun in the country - I'm trying out flourescent collars with bells (just for when they are outside) and supervising all the time that they are out and so far it's going well. Billy Buttons may be gone but he's taught us a lesson about watching the feisty ones.
I'm investigating radio collars (GPS are too heavy for cats) - I'll let you know how I get on in case it's of interest to anyone else.
It may not be so suitable in towns and cities but in open country it should work well.

Hope everyone is well and babies happy and healthy.

Julia.

Stunning babies, and wonderful house and garden!

bombaycat · « **Reply #121 on:** May 28, 2008, 17:52:45 PM »

This is my garden a couple of weeks ago - lots of work but very rewarding.

PS if anyone wants a nice holiday in Suffolk in my converted windmill let me know, I run it as a holiday let business....pets allowed!!

So sorry that Billy has not returned yet

Your new cats look lovely and I too love your garden and the view

bombaycat · « **Reply #119 on:** May 28, 2008, 17:36:07 PM »

I will always have great memories of the 8 years I had with Billy Buttons, the first Bombay is always going to be special. In some ways at least my last memory of seeing him is him in full health dashing through the flap on a mission - better than on the vets table in many ways.

Mia is scarily fast so it'll be a challenge to keep her under control, for now she is confined to barracks as she's only a baby

.

When you have new babies again you realise who sensible the older ones are....

how gorgeous are they!!! And your garden looks pretty darned nice too - luck you!

So sorry to hear that Billy seems to have moved on to pastures new ... it is always so hard to deal with something like that. And these two babes look like a step in the right direction!

Hi Julia,

So sorry to hear Billy is still not home

Your new babies are absolutely stunning ... I have never seen a black smoke asian before but now I have i'm in love

Looking forward to hearing all about them and hope to see lots more pics of all your babies (including Billy Buttons when he finally decideds to come back home).

Sam =^..^=

bombaycat · « **Reply #115 on:** May 28, 2008, 10:37:22 AM »

Hi everyone,
Just to say thank you for all your nice messages. The Button boy has sadly not returned but the good news is that I have increased my cat family by two new members, Mia and Teddy. Mia is a Bombay as was Billy and Teddy is her brother (a black smoke Asian) who was given to me as a present by the breeder - thanks Olive.

So for all those interested check them out with Coco my chocolate burmese and Scooby my mog.

Thanks all,
Julia.

Yeah anyone would think that they don't have any cat beds whereas of course the house is littered with them.
But "your bed is our bed" is their motto

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #109 on:** January 09, 2008, 20:47:15 PM »

Ahhhh what a wonderfully snuggly comfy bed .... I love that pic of the 4 furbabes all tucked up

bombaycat · « **Reply #108 on:** January 09, 2008, 19:33:07 PM »

Found a couple of old photos of my lot all together (when they used to be...)

All 4 in my bed....bless
3 black cats in the garden together - the old days were good.

my black brothers where quite similar but Scooby has the angel hairs on his chest about 12 white hairs (I call them angel hairs because someone told me that most black cats have a few white hairs since in the past so many completely black cats were burned due to witchcraft allegations that the ones that weren't quite black were effectively selected for genetically). Probably rubbish, but I like the name angel hairs so I'm sticking with it.

Billy Buttons was easy to spot as he's the Bombay - beautiful haughty and slightly higher at the back end (drag-cat) as Burmese often seem to be.

My CPL neighbour also loves black cats and has 4 so we had 7 between us at one point - challenging to distinguish when seen from afar!

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #106 on:** January 08, 2008, 20:39:23 PM »

if they were walking, fine i knew who was who, but when they were sitting still staring at you it took a minute to get there, please forgive me i'm blonde remember

blackcat · « **Reply #105 on:** January 08, 2008, 20:35:35 PM »

strange, I pick up on little cues of body language that makes it easy to distinguish between Esther and the three other black moggies in my street. They all look identical, but she has a special way of moving that makes it dead easy to pick her when I find her down the street (where she is not supposed to go, but sometimes does).

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #104 on:** January 08, 2008, 20:33:31 PM »

not sure about that I had 2 black cats donkeys years ago, and the only way I could tell them apart was if they were looking at you as 1 had a wee white hair on her leg, it grew back that way after she had an accicent and it was just 1 hair strange

blackcat · « **Reply #103 on:** January 08, 2008, 20:11:03 PM »

Problem is, only the owners can tell em apart!!

I had no problems for 8 years in that garden - that is my london garden they all have lived happily there. It's a bit more open where Billy went missing at my other home that I am slowly in the process of moving to. He got over excited at the possibilities in the country I think. Even though he'd been visiting regularly for 18 months.
If you think Scooby is beautiful check out his brother Beeps luxuriating on my friends kitchen table (who now lives with a friend of mine as there was a lack of harmony in the house with all 4 cats) - they are both rescue cats from a baby mum only 6 months old.

he is GOOOORgeous!! what a lovely cat! and why would any cat in its right mind want to leave that fabulous cat-friendly garden??!! when you get bombay back that is the perfect garden for cat-proofing so he can't give you such heartbreak again!

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #95 on:** January 07, 2008, 19:37:31 PM »

Wow what a beauty Scooby is
Hope Billy is back very soon, thinking of you

bombaycat · « **Reply #94 on:** January 07, 2008, 19:34:28 PM »

He wasn't seen for the first 3 months then was seen by several people so we know he can survive perfectly well and we may not see him. He is a smart little boy.
I have hope until we find a body.
In the meantime I've taught my moggie boy Scooby to sit for treats like a dog - he's very good at it.
Check out Scooby below...

If it is any encouragement, PB found her lost baby who went missing some time ago, and he had holed up only a few gardens over. As you say, a black cat in the country in this weather is going to be hard to spot - especially if he has found himself somewhere snug to lie up over winter. Take care hun...

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #91 on:** January 06, 2008, 18:16:38 PM »

Hi Julie,

Sorry Billy is still missing in action and I hope and pray he will come home soon. I'm sure he will have found himself somewhere warm and dry.

All the best

Sam

Hi Julia, just to let you know, we are all thinking of you and little Billy Buttons, I know how you feel my little Ruby went missing just before xmas, thankfully she returned, not a street wise cat but amazing how they manage to look after themselves, Ruby had a little potter in the garden for the first time today, she wasn't out long, but I was so nervous, sat watching her! I have a feeling your little one isn't far away, and Im sure he will be back, praying for you, and sending lots of love and support x x x
Gail, Ruby & Alfie

bombaycat · « **Reply #89 on:** January 06, 2008, 16:52:34 PM »

Hi Sam (thanks for the email),
He didn't make a Christmas appearance unfortunately. No sightings
since around October however he is a very black cat in the country and it
is dark so unlikely people would see him. There was a dead black cat up
the road a bit from me last week, but my cats protection neighbour
kindly took her scanner up and it wasn't him, she had lost a rescue cat
last year so it could have been that one.
So the waiting continues, I still think he could easily be out there
if he has found shelter in the numerous out buildings
somewhere....maybe he'll appear in the Spring when the weather warms up and there's more
light so see him again. I still think he's out there.
Thanks for your wishes, it's nice to know people care.
Julia
