    Abyssinian coat?

    Have you tried bathing him? My aby's coat is really soft, especially after a show bath. You wouldn't need to do a full show bath, but a bath with unscented baby shampoo might help. Just be sure to rinse super well, and when you think you've gotten all the shampoo out, rinse again. One of my...

    What color are my sweet kittens eyes?

    How old is she? Eye color usually changes over the first few months to year of life. I had an abyssinian whose eye color changed gradually and didn't really settle until he was 6 or 7 years (not months) old.

    What breed is this gorgeous cat?

    It's kind of a British Shorthair lookalike, whether it's related to that breed or not. Without a known ancestry the kitty is considered a Domestic Shorthair (DSH). What is his/her name?

    Breed?

    @Aero02 I'd say your scanner is a little off, considering that Tabby is a coat pattern, not a breed. Kitty looks like a Domestic Shorthair with a Mackerel Tabby pattern. Could be called a broken mackerel tabby.

    Cat tail?

    Is there white anywhere else? It would be helpful to see pictures of the whole cat, especially the sides.

    Mazie

    It must depend on where you live. I'm surrounded by green. Five of my 6 rescues have green eyes, plus my green-eyed Abyssinian. They're all different colors as well. Black & White, Blue & White, Classic Tabby & White, 2 Brown Patched Tabbies, and Cinnamon (Aby). The only one who doesn't have...

    Any information about breast cancer progression ?

    I don't know about the survival rate, and haven't looked at any of the studies. A friend's cat had a mastectomy 3 or 4 years ago, I don't remember exactly when, but the kitty is still healthy and active at 15 years of age. My 12 year old girl had a mastectomy, removing the entire mammary chain...

    Boy or girl ?

    If you can get a clear picture with the tail up so we can see his/her back end, we might be able to help. There's no way to tell from the picture you posted.

    I have a question about using Mirtaz

    What happens if you don't give her the mirtaz? Does she go several days without eating or is it just once or twice?

    Cat gave birth to underweight kittens

    I wouldn't start worrying yet. Two weeks is an average age for kittens to have their eyes open, which means some will be sooner and some later. I've seen kittens as young as 3 days old starting open their eyes, and I've seen others who were 3+ weeks old. One thing you don't want to do is force...

    Help with colours

    I assume the colors you mentioned are the collar colors, not the kitten colors. It takes time for colors and patterns to develop in pointed kittens. Since the points are already so dark in the orange collar kitten I would say seal point for sure. The other two could be blue point, but it's...

    Need to know if i am doing the right thing?

    How big is your room? Are there windows the cats can access? If there's room, I would put in one or two tall cat trees, or at least make sure there are places for them to sit looking out the windows. Good luck with your move.

    Maybe a tortoise??

    I would call her a patched tabby and white rather than tortoiseshell.

    Did CFA change the look of the certificate of individual registration?

    You need to contact CFA directly. On the contacts page there is a list of people to email for registration questions.

    All Things Books and Reading Thread - 2024

    I picked up The Book of Lost Friends from the library the other day, just because the title sounded interesting. It's fiction based on a little known part of U.S. history after the Civil War. I don't currently belong to a book club, but I think this would be a good book for discussion...

    Best hypoallergenic shampoo for cats?

    I’ve found that regular unscented baby shampoo worked well on my cat who had multiple allergies.

    Bengal mix?

    You have a very pretty Domestic Shorthair cat. The tabby pattern is one that does not occur in Bengals, but is common in many other breeds and the random cat population. The personality traits you listed are not unique to Bengals, or any other specific breed, even if they are different from your...

    I’m guessing Siberian?

    I don't see features that are specifically Siberian. His head/ears do not match the standard, and in fact look closer to a Maine Coon muzzle and ears. The Siberians have a very dense triple coat that stands out from the body and makes them look very round. Without a known ancestry, your cat...

    Is my cat pregnant/kitten colors

    You may need to wait a little longer for clearer signs. It's usually closer to 3 weeks when the nipples start to pink up. Have you seen any more changes in the last week?
