Jack Campin - bogus address - 18 Apr 2007 15:19 GMT
A couple of evenings ago, late at night, we began to notice a strange
rumbling noise. Thought it might have been the washing machine; I went
to check, no, I hadn't turned it on.  Then thought it might have been
the neighbour across the road who drives enormous diesel recovery
trucks and sometimes brings one home late when going off-shift.  So
I looked out of the front door and it wasn't there either.  Finally
realized it had to be in the bedroom.

It turned out to be Marblecake sitting on a armchair breastfeeding
her kittens and purring.

Awwww, Jack, that is so sweet.  Please tell us all about marblecake and her kittens and do you have an online album so we can see pictures of such unbearable cuteness?

Drooling in anticipation,

There are still pictures on my website

http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/Cats/

I have some video, but I'm not sure where to upload it - I don't have
much space left on my own site.  Where's a good long-term repository
for small cat videos, preferably one that doesn't clutter everything
up with Javascript and isn't owned by Rupert Murdoch?

Youtube?  There be ads, but on my 'puter, they're sidebarred, and I get no
popups.  AFAIK, not owned by Fox mogul, but Google (a publicly traded
company).

The kittens are just plain adorable, but the alleged father is an odd
looking sort. What breed cat is he supposed to be? The mustached look is
very odd....

He's a bicolour Persian.  I hadn't heard of them either until we got
him (his previous owner found she was allergic to him).  He's the only
one I've seen pictured with exactly those markings but googling for
"bicolour Persian" and "bicolor Persian" will show you others that are
recognizably the same breed.  His mum looked even odder since she had
a moustache on only one side.  (He came from Craigwood in Scotland,
and I'd certainly recommend them as a breeder for producing a cat with
such an attractive personality as Splodge - unfortunately they don't
do Persians any more, just spooky Sphynxes).

I don't know if they all have stumpy little legs like he does.  I've
heard people say "he looks like a goldfish" or "he's really a kind of
furry slug".

Those are some powerful purrs!  How are the bitties doing?

Maggy May wants me to type:

PRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

as she remembers her litters and he bitties and looks around at the
two kids who stayed home, Missy, who has been a mommy her ownself, and
Winnie, who is not equipped to do so.

I'm thinking of getting Ketzl a mike and an amplifier. He purrs, but it's so
subtle as to be barely audible. I could hang the mike around his neck,
whereas the megaphone just didn't stay in place.
