Why white cats are good to own.

[RICHARD]

Easy to find in the dark.

Eating chocolate, chocolate cookies while the cat is in you lap
makes the crumbs easy to see.

White hair + white t-shirts= no problemo!

White hair and white sheets? Again, no problemo!

Dirt level, easy to see!

You can own a white cat after Labor Day.

Pure as driven snow.

White goes with everything!

Great conversation piece.

White is virginal!

I love the line about being able to be seen in the dark. It has saved Andy from being stepped on at night more than once.

Andy couldn't agree more and sends lots of happy meows to the Edster.

Miss Reese is a white cat. True, she does have a small cap of light grey, but she considers that her tiara.

Oh yes White on Black is good.. Here is Madilene {my deaf baby} on the black recliner..

[GILL]

White is also good when a fur baby flashes by, you can always tell the white one. Our Lenny is partially deaf also. Luv them all

Great thread! White fur on dark sweater = tells the world I am a cat person!

Did I mention white cats can pass as doilies?

I can't agree more with white cats. I love my little man Hermes.

I rescued him when he was about 4 months old and he was just so sick and now he's a healthy big boy except for him having herpes but we love him.

Gee, I've been missing out on a good thing...all my cats have been black, black & white, gray, tuxedo, tabby and orange.

Maybe I need to expand my horizons??

[RICHARD]

You can spill sour cream, cream cheese, whipped cream or mayonaisse on them with no fear of staining.

Ah that was so funny to read Richard, however Miss ellie has lot of white on her, and when you wear alot of black clothes as I do, not so good lol,one slight dis-advantage,however cassiesmom said it well, but yes the advantages out weigh the disadvantages for sure.

[RICHARD]

Flecks from destroyed styrofoam boxes blend in with fur.

[cassiesmom]

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.)
