Hi I am new here and I own a black and white cat named Sam. Who else here has black and white cats or even solid black or pure white cats? I would love to see some photos if you have them. Also do they have any specific personality traits like my cat likes to be the only cat and she hates going to the vet(lots of hissing there!) Samsmom
Sounds like your cat is a cutie. There are a lot of people here with black, white, and black and white cats here.... Do you have any pictures of Sam that you could share.
I have two cats one is a creme color .. Tinky and the other is a orange / red color... Jupiter...
WELCOME TO PET TALK.:)
Hi and welcome! I have a black cat who's got few white hairs here and there, can't really call him black and white, ince he's 99% black! Anyway, thought to welcome you here! :D
Welcome Vermontcat.
I just love the tux cats and I'll be ya get some pictures. There are a lot of people her that have those. My Braydee is mostly white with orange rings around his tail. Glad you're here - enjoy!!!
Black and white cats are great!!!
I don't have one, but my boyfriend does. Her name is Wissel, she's seven years old, but most people think she's still a kitten because she's really small.
She has a white chin, neck and paws and two white dots under her nose that look extremely funny. She loves to cuddle and sit on your lap, but let's you know immediately when she's had enough by biting your hand (sometimes very hard :( ). Are there any more black/white cats with a split purrsonality? Maybe they give into their dark side sometimes.....;)
Thanks for the welcome. My cat Sam is actually 14 years old now but her baby pics look like Macey the COTD from July 30 but with a black nose and black spot under her chin. I hope to someday get some photos of her on here but it may be a while(we do have a new digital camera.)
C & K I love your cats they remind me of my college roommates cats Squirt and Shadow(he only had one white whisker with the rest of him solid black) I have lost touch with them since then but they would be 15 years old now) I got to see them grow up from tiny kittens to big 1 year olds!
Piglet, I think my cat saves her dark side for the vet and strangers!:eek:
Well, I gotta go now, Sam just circled under my chair which means get off the computer now because I want something!:D
I've got one black cat - Tubby. He has just a little spritz of white on his chest, and now that he's 16 years old, he's starting to get white/gray hairs lightly scattered all over, but seems to be a lot of them on his legs for some reason. He's a lover kitty, my big boy who has to be wherever I am, but he used to be a little terror when he was a lot younger. He definitely has a personality. Loves everybody, including strangers...well....maybe not the vet. :)

Vader...I only have 1 pic uploaded of him to. I'll upload lots more after and post em!

Tubby looks like a sweet guy, would you say he has mellowed with age, my cat has. It's nice to see another cat from her generation. If you don't mind me asking how much does he weigh? My cat is 14 lbs now, her mom was a petite 1 year old that looked like the first few photos that The Cat Factory posted. Her dad must have been a big boy though because she definately takes after him, the vet says her bone structure is big so shes not just fat and fluffy but big-boned too.:rolleyes:
Cat Factory, I would love to see more photos when you have them, all your cat photos are beautiful!:D
Hi Vermontcat!
Those kitties can be a bit sensitive about their weight... my Piglet (4 year old tabby) seems to always know when someone makes a comment about it and runs to the kitchen and gets all grumpy. I always tell people she's big-boned and thick-furred. :)
Personally I prefer the big fluffy kitties to the skinny ones, but they're all great of course. :)
I think Pepurr may well be Ritz's long lost twin...I do think Black and White cats have unique personalities - Ritz is absolutely "catzilla" at the vets - just wants no part of it at all.
I had a vet tell me once that black and white, particularly the "tuxedo marked" lovelies, have a tendency to be (and i quote) "tightly wound". This is the same kitty who flops over and goes belly up for a tummy rub and cuddles by my side at night.
Ritzee sez that she's just got very picky taste in hoomans, and doesn't care for any of them whatz put cold things in her purrsonal areaz!
I love black and white cats! Zippycat and Wolflady are both fans of these classic kitties!
Welcome to pettalk

LOL! LOL! Ritzy!! My two boys couldn't agree more although they just sort of cower til the whole thing is over! :DQuote:

These pictures are all just great by the way!! ;)
OMG!!! Ritz and Peppurr are identicle almost!
http://a3.cpimg.com/image/CB/06/1019...-01A00138-.jpg this is Peppurr...see the attached picture of Ritzy and tell me they weren't separated at birth! Even have the same "cutsey cat" pose thing going!
I think Peppur has a better set of "balanced" whiskers. Ritz has all black"eyebrows" except for one wild white hair!
taken today - I caught her in one of those "bored cat"moments (aka, I'm trying to nap, so put that cameral away!)
Thank you for coming to this thread and showing us how much Ritzy looks like Pepurr. I love the belly up poses, my cat does that too at night after the kids are in bed and she can really relax. I hope to get some photos of my cat here soon, the digital camera is new so I need my husband to help me get them from the camera to the computer(he is the resident computer expert here):)
Ok, lets see if this will work, I hope it will show a picture of Sam. I did get the small head shot of her to work, hope this does too.:)
http://www.strike9.com/file.aspx/pat...llsize/Sam.jpg
Yep, it worked:-) She is so cute!
Gosh, these tuxy's are soooooooo cute!
I love all the pictures...especially Ritzy's "bored" and "coy" shots. :) I am also partial to the tummy shots...Peppur is so cute! :D
We just got a black kitten...he has a few white hairs on him too! Here's his picture:
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...a/fd7222d5.jpg
He looks just like my Vader did when he was a baby. A few stray white hairs here and there.
Your new kitten is so cute! And he looks like he is barely a handful! Now I feel the need to hold some cute little kittens so I guess I will be visiting the local Humane Society to play with some. But I can't bring one home with me, we tried that once and Sam said no way!:(
Hi Vermontcat and Welcome to Pet Talk! Your Sam is so adorable!! I'm a mommy of a black and white cat named Scooter and a pure white cat named Marius. They're such a handful, but I love them!!
Here's a picture of Scooter, our "bug-eyed" boy! LOL :D
...and here's a picture of my Marius!! :D
Wow!:eek: My cat Sam can do that same impersonation of a bowling pin too! It's nice to see another halfandhalf black/white cat with markings similar to mine. Marius sounds cute too, any photo of him?
I did get to visit the Humane Society a little while ago and found a 6 week old tux kitty Sierra to play with. So I got the kitten thing out of my system for now, and no I didn't bring her home.:(
Oops I guess I spoke too soon, now I see the picture of Marius, he's very handsome too. My cat used to have a shoe fetish when she was a kitten and could fit in one of my husbands shoes! Thank you for sharing the photos Wolflady!:)
LOL LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one! LOL LOL :D How cute!! Fitting inside the shoe! I sure hope you landed some photos of that!;) LOLQuote:

This is such a funny trait about Marius. His fascination for shoes and feet have actually increased over the years. He just LOVES feet. Shower feet especially. It's kinda annoying, because he'll be rolling and rubbin on fresh shower feet, and all his fur sticks because they're wet. Ick! :rolleyes:
If anyone comes for a visit, he'll be rubbing and rolling on their shoes and feet. It's even better if the shoes are removed from the feet! All the better for him to stick his nose in and rub on! LOL LOL :rolleyes: It is quite amusing! :D
I did come across one kitten photo of her sitting on top of one of my husbands sneakers with her head stuck inside. She was only a couple of months old then and my husband does wear size 13! Sorry I can't post it, don't have the scanner hooked up right now. She does still enjoy rubbing on all the shoes in the house and loves dirty laundry especially my husbands jeans and flannel shirts.:rolleyes:
Karen, I love that picture of Scooter!! My best friend has a tuxy named Rupert (I got to name him! :) ) and he has that look on his face a lot! It's so cute, you just want to go over and hug them!! :)
Vermontcat,
Thanks!! Basil is such a sweet cat! I went home at lunch today to let him out to play. He found our catnip mat by the sliding glass door and to my surpise was flopped over rubbing his whole body on it!! I didn't think cats that young were effected by catnip. Here's a picture of him next to the mat:

Sam is a pretty cat! Love those front left leg markings! We had an indoor/outdoor tomcat some years back (learned my lesson, he was hit on the road - Ritzy is strictly indoors). However, before his untimely demise and before we had a chance to get him neutered(his name was Mr Tubbs), he was, umm, let's say "prolific". We now have a lot of white/black black/white marked kitties in the neighborhood, many of which seem to love to congregate in our back yard next to the mini barn.
I grew up on a farm and always thought cats with markings like this looked like black and white cow markings. My favorite pet term is "moo cow kitty".
Black and white cats have such an interesting look - the stark color differences, the assorted mix of black and pink paw pads...Sam has a neat "sooty" nose.
Karen, I never tire of the "bowling pin Scooter"...those eyes! Ritz gets that look often, and is also sporting the "bowling pin look" these days...see pic attached...posing in her favorite spot by the window in my home office
Glad you like Sam's markings, when she puts her front paws together the black spots on her wrists match up to make a black circle! I too like her black nose, she also has a black goatee spot on her chin. When we got her we met her mom who had markings like your Ritzy and one of her brothers who had markings like her, they said all 4 of the kittens were black and white with black spots under their chins. What is unusual is that all of Sam's pawpads are black rather than pink even though her legs and feet are mostly white, I think she gets that from her mom. i sometimes call Sam my "holstein kitty" since Vermont is know for our cows and Ben and Jerry's ice cream even has them on their cartons and trucks!
Here is a little history on me and Sam. My father is allergic to cats and dogs so we never had any as kids. My brothers and I would borrow and petsit any chance we got. One cat I took care of was a black/white male named Sam. I could call him from across the street and he would come running to see me. I knew him for 7 years then he disappeared while I was away at college. As soon as I got my first place by myself after college I got my own Sam Cat. My husband got her with me as a pre-engagement present(the ring came a couple of weeks later) She is a Vermont born cat and has moved twice with us and helped us raise our 3 kids. She is an important part of our family and we love her very much!:D
This is also why I use the name Vermontcat-what else would a cat from Vermont look like? Also the name stands for the mascot for the college I went to the UVM Catamounts or Vermont Cats, Go Cats Go!
Last summer, my mother and I went to Vermont to celebrate the wedding of my nephew/her grandson. I LOVE Vermont! It is just a beautiful, lush place. Green Mountain Coffee ROCKS...and Vermont cheddar, hands down the best cheese around!...WE went on a mountain adventure in the Stowe area, ate breakfast at this neat B&B half way up the mountain road - just had a splendid time. My father had passed away earlier that year, so it was mom's first time out away from home since the funeral and a much needed respite for both of us. I found the people in Vermont to be very pleasant indeed!
Well I would guess you aren't from Vermont, glad you got to visit here though. I remember going to a fall wedding in Stowe once, it was a beautiful fall day till we got to the top of the mountain and it was snowing!
So what state does Ritzy represent? I'm guessing California kitty!:)
Ritzy is flattered that you might think her a "Hollywood Puss" but she is actually a "Hoosier" kitty - near Indianapolis, IndianaQuote:

Yes, you are right I guessed she was the Hollywood type because she was dressed for all the glitzy parties! But now I see she's an Indy Kitty! So does she like fast cars?:D
Well, judging from the way she barrels through the house and up and down the stairs at warp speed(at 3am), I would say she IS a racy little kittycar! (with fur, four feet and a tail) :)Quote:

All of your cats are very beautiful. I have a black cat named Pepper. He has some white on his tummy and bottom area. He's also big boned and weighs 17lbs. He's a very sensitive, easy going, laid back, and a true sweetheart of a cat. He's also a big mama's boy. Here's a couple of pics of him. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...8/fd652cc1.jpg

Pepper looks a lot like my niece's kitty, Yoda, who also has a little white "spritz" of fur on her tummy....she is also very laid back and approachable, but as I understand is also a holy terror at the vet's office!
Here is a picture of Yoda
Hi, Vermontcat! I have Debra, my Holstein Moo-cow blk./wht. "brat" cat (see her in flashing avatar) and she, too, behaves like a feral when taken to the vet; just about climbing up the walls! :eek: The last visit she nearly reached the top of the vet tech's head with her petulance. She is terribly strong and athletic, and can whirl around on her cat tree like a gymnast.
She demands her undivided attention session. and she wants it immediately, if not sooner. :cool: This has become increasingly an issue, since the recent addition of Schuyler (wht.) has made her insecure and uneasy. He is such a good-natured, placid, tolerant guy and he only wants to join in and be accepted. Debra will have nothing to do with him, and I feel badly for my "swell guy Schuy". :( I had so hoped he would be accepted by her and they could become playmates.
She eats (or I should say picks) at her dry premium food like a bird, and has refused ALL brands of wet food, even going through the motions of "covering" it up as though it were excrement. Funny thing is, she will NOT bother to cover her litter box deposits AT ALL! :(
Still I love her to pieces, and she is my little cowgirl! :) :D
Your cat Debra is beautiful with lots of spots! She is almost a Dalmatian kitty! I think I have seen your posts around here before and you have lots of beautiful pets! Do you have any bigger photos of Debra, I'm wondering if she has a black nose and chin spot like my cat. How old is she?
Krazyaboutkats, I love the photos of Pepper, he is so big and fluffy! All 3 of your cats are beautiful, I think I have told you that before.:)
Tuxluvr, that is a great photo of Yoda, it looks like it was done by a professional!
