    Looks very content in that chair! Now, don't you dare move him @shiney :nonofinger: or unless its to another of his favourite spots! With a nice soft blanket he can pad his paws on too :heehee: Is he part savannah/oci do you know? Only asking as his markings/colours are very pretty.

      He's a Snow Bengal

      These are a few of his favourite places

      Although he's a very nice cat we used to be owned by Oscar, who adopted us. Oscar was a very special person and lived outside, in the greenhouse and considered the garden as his domain. Everything in it was protected by him, even the birds - and they knew it. Birds were safe with him and the baby pheasants used to play with him.

      There's a tribute to him on Pet Rainbow page 1

          Awww I could squish him Shiney, I did think Bengal as his ears are small but couldn't put my finger on the colour, he is a stunner for sure! That's a lovely piece about Oscar, sorry he's not with you anymore, lovely photo too :grphg: The 2 (Cecil and Simba) that have joined over the last year or so, won't really leave the garden now either or the house and it's lovely.. shame they don't protect birds like yours do, had to take a magpie to the rspca on monday, was livid with them but its nature! I used to have 2 black and white cats.. one called Cuppa tea, but he moved in 2 doors down, my neighbour calls him Cupid as he got a little black heart on his chest ( and fed him bloody prawns, no wonder he ran off!) and my other cat Austin, (about 6 years ago we had him) run off after we left him with a friend as we were on holidays for 2 weeks.. fear the worst for him he was so small.

          Beautiful @Sian in Belgium, that's how I like my dogs, sleeping!! :heehee: Although I don't think I will ever have another one after the last.. We had a rescue chocolate labrador, she had all sorts of names, Coco-chanel, cocoabeans, coconuts, cocoabutter, coco-loco and was a bit disturbed at 18 months old, couldn't toilet train her or take her for walks or even socialise outside the house..I just couldn't cope with a needy dog and a small baby at the time. Such a heart breaking decision.. forever in my mind girlo xx

          and Austin xx

                2 doors up..I think she has an agenda so I wouldn't eat her prawns if I were you M!

                One day she shouted over walking up her steps "Oh I had your cat neutered and he's resting in the living room" I was like :yikes: :mute: .. "oh right.. um thanks?! He likes felix pouches and Iams biscuits.." I avoided her for a good month after that.. I still call him cuppa tea and he meows at me, won't have a fuss though :( .. she then pinched the lady opposites cat too soon after her other one died

                She also has a "cat sanctuary" which consists of a table with old carpet in it and over it and puts food out every day.. fresh meat, ham, left overs, cat sticks, pouches, biscuits and the whiskas toppers.... and in her own house. No wonder Cecil is so bloody fat :wallbanging:

                    Bella enjoys being in this cold frame. She gets in where there are panes missing. I'll be mending it one day soon but I don't think Bella will like that.

                          Oh thank you @Michael Hewett, so is your Bella. We have 2 cats, brother and sister. We have had lovely moggies in the past but these are our 1st pedigree cats. We were very upset like all loving pet owners when our last wee cat had to be PTS (she is the tabby). Eventually we decided to get another cat (meaning only to get 1 but ended up with 2 as couldn't bare to split up brother and sister of a litter of only 2). We didn't want to get another cat which might remind us too much of the previous cat so decided on getting something very different. They have pedigree prefixes (all very ladeda!) and then Tinkerbell, (we shortened to Bella) and Peter Pan (shortened to Pancake!) .Despite being rather posh they aren't sissy in the slightest, eat anything and everything and are hellishly good hunters. Great re keeping mice down (we live in the countryside) but not so good for our huge population of birds. That said we have managed to rescue all but 1 bird so far this year much to their annoyance! I'm really more of a dog person, but these 2 terrors are great fun and game for anything.
