Please take a look at beautiful Holly

[ChrisH]

This is Holly who is one of the owners of my neighbour Glenys, (she is owned by 3 cats and a dog, I posted about one of the other two cats, PussPuss, last week.)
Silly me forgot to ask about Hollys age and origins :o I will have to find out and update. One thing I do remember Glenys telling me is that Holly likes to drink her water straight from the tap (faucet), I know a lot of Pet Talkers have cats that do that too. Anyway, here are the pictures.

Oh how pretty! Her nose looks like the shape of a heart.

Holly with the heart-shaped nose, you're such a beautiful kitty lady, you're markings are really special! :)

Great pics!

She is gorgeous!!

[PayItForward]

She is beautiful.

On the second photo, I think I saw black, white and red, a calico kitty ???

:D

[ChrisH]

Thanks K&L, Kirsten, Donna and PIF. :) :)

PayItForward, you are right, she does have red, but strangely enough only recently. Glenys and I were talking about just that when I was taking the pictures. I have always seen her as black and white and Glenys said she is/was, the red seems to have happened as she has aged. :confused:

She is GORGEOUS! Yes, I've noticed the red too, it looks nice:) But you've only noticed it recently? That's strange:confused:

[Kirsten]

But you've only noticed it recently? That's strange

Sometimes black is turning into a reddish color when they get older (or lack of vitamins could be responsible for that as far as I know - maybe other's know more about it). Anyway, I've seen it happen in some cats.

She's spectacular. A real Cat-mopolitan cover girl.

Beautiful Holly with the heart on your nose, you have our hearts.

I did look into the coat question.

On vetinfo.com I found a question from someone whose cat had been checked for inflammatory bowel disease. In his answer Mike Richards DVM answered that it might be a good idea to have the cats serum protein value checked. IBD (and I (me, Steffi) assume there are other conditions that can do this) can cause difficulty absorbing protein or vitamins and low serum protein can lead to a reddish discoloration of the coat.
Here is the link.

Holly is truly GORGEOUS! She looks like a sweet little lady!;)

[Vermontcat]

Holly is a beautiful cat!:D
I love the close-up photo showing off her cute little black nose.(like my Samantha's);)
It looks like she wants a belly rub on that fluffy belly in the last photo. Could you give her one from me please?:)

[IttyBittyKitty]

Holly, you are adorable! Such a cute little nose!

[Miss Meow]

She's lovely! Thanks for posting pics.

[Uabassoon]

[Randi]

[ramanth]

I just want to kiss that beautiful nose! :D

Thanks for sharing the pics, Chris. :)

[ScantyNebula]

beatiful indeed! WOW she's a looker! :D

[ChrisH]

Thanks everyone, I am just glad I was able to get a good a picture as the first one so as to show you what a beauty she is. And I am sure Glenys will be so pleased when she sees all the compliments you have all paid Holly. :)

Steffi, thanks for the info about the coat colour I will pass it on.
Vermoncat and Randi I will make sure Holly gets the belly rubs you sent.:D
Sara, Holly and Ebby have never met, Holly is, like her two brothers, an indoor/outdoor cat and Ebby is strictly indoor (so far anyway). :)

Thanks again everyone!:)
