Looking for the Breed of my Cat?

I don't want to add the argument or to take sides with anyone but I just felt like I did need to say that while a lot of torties I've known don't have any white on them, my beloved Scarlett, who is being raised by my mum, does have several large patches of white on her. My tortie, Neko, may have a few white hairs but nothing major, the same as Julia's Muffin and my mum's Pittypat. They look like black cats painted in spots with orange. However, like I said, Scarlett has large patches of white and Mum's Tippy has at least one white spot. It's the very tip of her tail which is how she got her name.

I think your cat is wonderful! I hope to see more photos of her and more posts from you, samantha! Do you have any other pets?

I have edited out some comments. This is Pet Talk, and everyone is special. I am sorry I wasn't present for the few more argumentative comments. We all love kitties, regardless of their coloring. And she is a very pretty girl, whatever her patterning is called.

The end.

Thank You all for your comments, really sorry about all the friction it has caused, but everyone is entitled to there own opinions and I guess it would not be interesting had everyone not had different opinions!!!!. All post replies appreciated, at least now I have more ideas as to Chloe!

Thanks for all the help with posting of my pics, here are some more pictures of Chloe!!!!!!!!!

I have a solution, lets call her a caltortie!! She can be extra special :)

Who cares guys, we're all here cause we love animals, lets celebrate that, i'm sure the animals don't want us to get upset wether it be angry, or stressed cause we just want people to know we weren't trying to offend.

Chloe is gorgeous :)

LOVE and LIGHT to all!!

What a beautiful girl :)
I love her white diamond under her chin and her white boots at her paws :)

I would say that she is also a Domestic Long Haired Dilute Tortie. Even though it's just a colour distiction, I think torties should be a breed - they certainly have enough cattitude to occupy their own space in the breed books ;)

I hope that this mess doesn't keep you from coming back. I'm not sure why anyone got their back up here - I think everyone came here with the same intention, and that's to comment on your pretty girl :)

Thank You!! Your kitties are lovely two!!

Samantha I am sorry that you may not feel welcome. We are like a family here and although we belong together different members are having a bad day sometimes;)

I visit the cat side because I have cats (my mom and my sister have dogs) and I feel if I visit the dog side too then my work will really be injured seriously:) because I already spend too much time here.

So come here more often and post pics of your diluted torbie calico;) We love every pet and all our pets are the greatest.

Thank You!! You Kitty is lovely two, I have also posted new pics of Chloe!!

Thank You!!



Don't stress about it, Kari. You didn't do anything wrong. I've never seen you stir up an ounce of trouble anywhere on this forum.

I hope you don't feel unwelcomed posting anywhere. There are really only a select few that don't like "dog people" posting over here. The rest of them are very kind and welcoming though! I don't really understand why the few people keep trying to put seperations between Dog Gen and Cat Gen people, but I do my best to try to ignore it now and maybe they will stop :confused:

Anyway, for the record, I don't think I've ever had a personal conversation with Kari, nor did she ask me to come here. I simply saw her do nothing wrong and didn't want her to feel bad about this.

Also, I am a PET person. I happen to have and foster about twice as many cats as dogs, but I love my dogs and cats just the same and wouldn't turn my back on any animal in need.

Samantha, I want to apologize to you for this mess that began on your thread, it should've never been. I hope this doesn't turn you away from pet talk, it is usually a wonderful place.
Chloe is a lovely cat and I'm sure you love her very much. My good friend has a cat named Muffin that looks like her. I babysit Muffin when my friend goes out of town. She is one of the most gentle cat's I've ever met. :)

Thank You!!


Wow! I seriously cannot believe you. I have NEVER had a conversation with Wolfsoul, I don't know her at all. I don't know lv4dogs either. So please don't imply that I got them to come here and defend me. I don't need defending. I was just trying to post a comment and you jumped down my back. Good grief.

As far as the "cat side" "dog side" thing goes- I thought I was a part of the Pet Talk message board. Which contains 4 main parts, Dog, Cat, Pet, and Other. I didn't know I had to pick a certain section and stay there. Yes I tend to post much more in the dog section then in the cat section, but that shouldn't matter. I have 5 dogs, and 6 cats (plus 2 foster kittens), along with other pets.



but she didn't use that word, I picked it out of the air, that's why I was (and still am) confused.

Ok I have to post my two cents here. First off I know Kim was not making fun or trying to offend. She was just making a statment because we don't see very many people from DG in this section.

She was just trying to help with what Chloe is and its been taken very much out of context. Kim is actually a very amazing person who takes care of many animals. She is a cat lover by nature, but I also know she just loves animals period.

wolfsoul I know for a fact that Kim would never make fun of anyone's RB pets as she has lost a couple that were just as dear to her heart as your lovely Sara.


This may bother some people but I feel someone should stand up with Kim on this. She also isn't refering to people who lead a busy life its just mainly those who only come in when they want to make someone about two inches tall. Karen and Paul do their best to moderate the conversations, but unfortunately they can't catch every little tidbit that comes this way. Sorry but I side with Kim on this one.





Samantha welcome to PT and I must say Chloe is just darling. I would like to hear how you've come across her.

---

Thank You!!! Your kitties are gorgeous to, I met Chloe about 3 years ago when I met my husband, unfortuantely I had always grown up with dogs but fell inlove with her when I met her!!!

how is she adjusting to your family? have you had her long?

(and can someone find the 'how to post pictures' thread for Chloe's meowmie?)


if not - try this - short version -

go to this website - alot of us use it -

http://www.imagestation.com

you can create a free account and make 'albums' of your photos of Chloe.

Once you've uploaded your photos - open PT in ANOTHER window.

when you make a post - under the
vB Code [help] section on the post
(above the message box)
you will see a bunch of 'buttons' one says 'IMG'

click it, and it will open a window asking you to insert the text of where you photo is located

looks like *[IMG]xxx[/IMG]* (without the *'s)

while this is open, switch over to the window on your PC that has your album on it. Choose the photo you want, 'open' it for viewing, and then RIGHT CLICK on it and open it's 'properties' box.

Look for the photos "Address [URL]" . copy that address ( it will look something like this - http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f414652a.jpg

and paste it into the [IMG] windows' test line. click OK - and your text line should appear in you post like this -
(but without the *'s - if I didn't put those in, you would see a photo of my cat, Pixel)


*http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f414652a.jpg *

When you 'submit' your post, you photo will show up in the body of the message as a real photo - not an attachment. like this:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f414652a.jpg

you can post as many as you like, and Image Station has no limit on how many pictures you can post there, either!

hope that helps!

Looking forward to MORE photos
of the lovely Miss Chloe!

Laura


Thank You Laura, Your Kitty is gorgeous to, and thanks for the help on posting more pics. I met Chloe 3 years ago when I met my husband, been my husbands cat. Unfortunately due to growing up with only Dogs I was not to familliar with Cats, but loved her in no time.

I have posted new pics of Chloe!!!
PS -
I'm a 'dog person' who only recently became a 'cat person' because Pixel wandered into my home last winter and snuck into my heart. I know squat about cats - except that Pixel is now MINE, and I love him!

(It's also nice to have another South African on board!!!) I lived in JHB until I moved to the Middle East in 2000. Where are you located?

I would be interested in knowing if her personality is like that of my Giz.. Giz is a mischief prone clown that keeps me laughing. She just sits in the floor and L@@KS for something to get into. If it can be got into, climbed on, crawled into for a nap... Giz is the one that will do it. She is so amusing and entertaining and her coloring is beautiful. Her face is her personality. Check for other threads with pictures of her and get a good look to compare to your beauty..

(would someone point her to the how to post pictures thread? I have it saved to my computer at home but I am not at home)

Thank You, your kitties are gorgeous to, thanks for the help managed to post more pics of Chloe!!

I'm confused, what do you mean "splotches" is your term?

She is a beautiful cat! I hope you stick around Pet Talk and post more pictures of her! I love her eyes. What is her name?

I agree that she is a domestic long hair, her coloring would be tortishell also called tortie.

Thank You, your kitties are gorgeous to, I have posted more pics of Chloe.

Hello Chloe you are beautiful. :D She looks to me to be a domestic long hair dilute calico. She doesn't seem to have black but blue which would lead me to believe more than she is a dilute calico rather than a regualr calico. No matter what she is gorgeous. Keep those pics coming. We want to see lots of Beautiful Chloe.
