You know, I just love Mouser! I have been following up on all of his updates ( and so has my mother) She just loves him to death! Whenever you post about him (esp. with pictures) I always tell her and she does not hesitate to come look! Hope all goes well with him and your family. Give him plenty of *kisses* from me and my mom :D Have a nice night.

OMG that picture with Avon and widdle Mouser is just too darn adorable.

I can't believe how he is changing colors. That is awesome.

He is so cute.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH Mouser! Smoochies on your silver/black belly. You get more adorable each day. :D

Hey! He's changing colors like my Basie did!!

Here's Basie when we first got him at 5 to 6 weeks of age (August 02):

Here he is, 2 months later (October 02):

That spring:

He gradually lost all his silver fur, except for his undercoat. Here he is now:

I didn't mean to hijack your thread, but wouldn't it be cool if Mouser changed colors like Basie? I've never seen a cat change and Basie would feel so much better with another kitty like him. ;)

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

He is a cutie-pie!! Maybe you should post this in Pet General - looks like you have a Chameleon there!!

[K & L]

WOW! This reminds me so much of Mouser! You didn't hijack the thread, I'm glad you shared!!

[catmandu]

Moser,is a remarkable Cat,with that shading,and he and Avon,really make a Dynamic Duo,O CATS!

[sirrahbed]

awww! Baby Mouser is just precious!! Looks like Avon is a great surrogate mommy, too!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

As soon as I saw what this thread was about, I immediately thought of Basie! Thanks for the timeline Kelly, it's so interesting how Basie's coat turned like that, and it would be so cool if Mouser did the same! I've never heard of that happening either - but you learn something new everyday here at PT. ;) :D

The pic with Avon is just sooo adorable. I bet he has a lot of surrogate parents around. After all, who could resist such a little cutie pie? :D
