Why white cats are good to own.

Flecks from destroyed styrofoam boxes blend in with fur.

Cassie Cat's fur doesn't show when I wear grey or black. My nephew's cat Milo has a white undercoat and when I come home from there, it's not the orange cat hair so much as the shorter white hair that's all over me. But I don't mind because Milo likes to plop on me!

And its interesting what my friend Helen of Aniaml Welfare tells me that White Ctas are the first ones adopted and that pure White Cats are fairly rare.
I did not know that, I guess thats one reason the Edsters so special.

I have come to think that white cats have an extra special lovebug gene. There is nothing scientific in my theory other than the fact that Andy is the super cuddily one of my two. He will sit in my lap and purr and drool until the cows come home. Of course he is the biggest scaredy cat also. I have to tell people to trust me that I really do have a white cat because he hides at the sign of an *intruder.* Anyone else have a white cat that is particularly lovey and cuddily? (oops! Sorry to take your thread off in another direction Richard.)

I have seen this one in action: any stray grey hair on your clothes, regardless of source, can be passed off as "Oh, cat hair again," as if grey hair could never have come from one's OWN head!

Interesting tidbit:

cats will be attracted to the person with the most contrasting clothing to their fur


case and point, I have 2 white cats and a light colored lilac point. Whenever hubby wears black clothes those 3 cats just flock to him and won't get off his lap!! (on the flip side the darker colored ones seem to flock to him when he wears white) ROFL

I think the thread states why white cats are good to own....any good reason is good enough.

The Edster is all about love too.

I can sit down in any chair and in less than a minute he's at my feet, ready to have his arse slapped vigorously or his is in my lap.

He don't drool, but he always steps on my bits.

My youngest brother isn't a cat fan but I love to see the look of distaste on his face when he gets sideswiped.

I'll have to remember the white hair line!

Theory about cat hair: She can somehow make it turn color just enough that it will show, no matter what I have on. Today I am wearing a grey sweater and I had to take the lint roller to it - to pick up brown (?!) cat hair. [Seriously- her coat gets a little more brown than grey as she spends time in the sun] And orange cat hair, from fur-nephew Milo? Forget it! Shows up on everything. It's a darn good thing I love that cat so much! I also hugged and snuggled him like crazy last time I was there, and I put on my coat without using the roller first. So, now the orange cat hair that was on me then is on other clothes too. But that's okay. I figure cat hairs are the only kind of fur I'll ever wear.

Richard this is a wonderful thread and very timely ... since I now have two white foster moms and let's see .... about 6 white kittens! Anyone want a white cat?

LOVE all the white kitties in this thread! Keep 'em coming!

Kylie agrees -
and I think she inherited the Diva Gene as well!

Lenny is not the lover as some of our others, pure all white, but he is the most vocal about food. He is almost completely deaf but can hear the refridg open from across the house. The thing is he does not want to eat, he just wants too check out what you are going to eat. ET the torty coon cat is the diva. She will growl and hiss to let you know when it is time to have loving, grooming and when it is time to stop. Always only on her terms
