I'm a bit confused now [it's easily done]....what's Imogen then? Grey or Blue?

Imogen is a stunning example of a blue tabby - she's beautiful!

No, no, no, no, no *shakes head* Thomas is absolutely gorgeous but he is definitely not a grey tabby. He's what I'd call a standard 'tabby' - no colour defined but defo not grey

A standard tabby is a grey tabby - find yourself some cat books and look it up.

This is my bridge boy Mr Thomas, who is a grey tabby.... As you can see, this is a completely different colour to Lucas, Riley, Harry, Pearl et al who are all most definitely blue.

Since when and where have tabbys been called grey?

Err, Harry and LuLu are grey tabbies - that's the whole point of this thread

Riley has shadow tabby markings in his grey too - so there

Lisa, Chalky and Moggchops are very welcome to join the grey club

Hope you have voted

or cream, or champagne if it is a dilute lol

Sorry to be pedantic, but cream is cream and is the dilute of red. Champagne is the term the Americans use to describe C.ho.colate Burmese.

The term grey is the correct term to describe the coloration of the standard domestic tabby cat, where the tabby hairs are ticked with black, tan and grey. It is a term solely used for cats with the dominant agouti (tabby) gene who do NOT display any dilute coloration - i.e. your basic tabby cat.

The colour blue is the dilute of the black and applies to both solid and tabby. Unlike the grey colouration of your basic tabby cat, the blue is purely a result of a reduction in black pigmentation in the hairs. Any cat, whether solid or tabby who demonstrates this reduction of pigmentation in its coat i.e. dilution is correctly known as a blue.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you Lily

Thanks Helen

she is rather beautiful but then I am rather biased

However, knowing her ladyship, I'm sure if Imogen could cast a vote she'd say she was absolutely, definitely BLUE daahhlink

The more the merrier Gwen, don't think we've seen much of Grwndi before - he's a babe

And as for you Lilycat, I can't believe you've been keeping Imogen from us for all this time, I sort of imagined her to be a white fluffy, persian like cat. She is an absolute (grey) stunner

lilycat · « **Reply #41 on:** October 05, 2007, 21:49:23 PM »

This is the lovely GREY Imogen

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #40 on:** October 05, 2007, 21:49:17 PM »

She's gorgeous, a fine example of a grey cat

I guess you'd say she's actually 'gray' though being from the US

Gwen · « **Reply #39 on:** October 05, 2007, 21:48:43 PM »

All these pictures of greys is must making me want one more and more

Ok how about Grwndi?

He's a dark grey and white tabby,does he count?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #38 on:** October 05, 2007, 21:46:14 PM »

Ooh rebellion!

If we're going to be rebellious about this, perhaps we should be consistent too. If it's blue, it needs to be red and not ginger

Ooh Gill - look what you're stirred up! Bet you're really regretting that decision to put all the colours there now

ccmacey · « **Reply #27 on:** October 05, 2007, 19:33:17 PM »

Yes let the people decide.

Shall I start a new thread or shall I see if my magical stars will let me add a poll onto this one? Don't know if they will as they are only blue ones not grey

blackcat · « **Reply #25 on:** October 05, 2007, 19:27:32 PM »

sadly gone to the rainbow bridge. He was 19 when the pic was taken. Shortly before he died. He was a rescue cat from a breed rescue who was more committed to rescue than to knowing her breeds (she told me he was a foreign white) I have since compared photos and concluded he was a turkish angora if anything. He was a sweetnatured cat who had never known about beds or laps until he came to me aged 5. He travelled with me from Coogee Beach, to Grafton in northern NSW to Queensland and finally to New Zealand. He was the quiet achiever - the cat everyone knew was in charge without him ever having to fluff up or hiss or otherwise assert himself. If any strays came into the garden he would just stare them down. He was a lovely cat and much missed...

I am sooo tempted to use the magical powers of my BLUE stars and edit out all references to the word ~~BLUE~~ in everyone's posts and replace with the correct word... GREY

CC how about we start a poll thread with pics of our gorgeous grey boys and everyone can vote for whether they are grey or blue?

blackcat · « **Reply #21 on:** October 05, 2007, 19:10:32 PM »

sounds like a deal to me. I adore silver tabbies (grey if you must) but every time I go to get one I end up with a different colour, more because I choose for personality than for colour or type (though prefer not to have a long-hair, despite the lovely Bob)

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #20 on:** October 05, 2007, 19:09:33 PM »

No sorry there is no grey registered for any cat in any cat show, the term is blue and if striped tabby

ccmacey · « **Reply #19 on:** October 05, 2007, 19:05:10 PM »

What about we make a deal- Solid colour is blue and with markings is grey

Not many peeps with grey cats? Ya's are all greysist
