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.

Looks like the dogpack has suddenly shown up .... so typical.

Have to also say a great big thank you to all my loyal friends on the cat side.

I'll be leaving now ... not a minute too soon.
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.

I don't think Kim meant you can't use that word. She's just saying that's what she calls the markings, not what a vet or a breeder would call them. It's just a cute nickname. For example, when I was a little girl, I didn't know what torties were so I called them 'dark calicos' because I thought that's what they were. Even though I know the name now, I still call them dark calicos alot. You can use it if you want but it's not the correct term that a show breeder would use. In fact, a show breeder's face might turn the color of a 'dark calico' if you registered your kitty as that!
but she didn't use that word, I picked it out of the air, that's why I was (and still am) confused.
