Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2005What breed is this little kitty?
Was just in my warehouse and when I moved a bag of packing material I got growled at from underneath it by a little kitty. It didn't run and allowed me to pick it up. Looking at it I would imagine it's not a general moggie, the most striking thing are the huge eyes. I've uploaded a couple of pics to my webspace, would appreciate it if someone could ID the breed? My first thought is Burmese... http://www.snowdoncomputers.co.uk/Kit1.jpg http://www.snowdoncomputers.co.uk/Kit2.jpg Its coat is spotless but it is a little on the thin side so am not sure if it owns anyone, certainly not seen anything like it in our village before.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Abyssinian mix - http://www.abychatcats.co.uk/ > British Shorthair mix - http://www.micimiao.it/corto/British.htm British Shorthair was my first thought -- that round head and huge round eyes. I concur with the idea she might be a lost pet. Maybe look for signs or put some up -- without description. Let those responding to the sign describe her so you know she really is theirs. If no-one responds, looks like you might have a kitty!

Nah I have 3 of them (and a longhair moggie) and they all have normal sized eyes. The eyes on this little baby take up about half the face and bulge out a bit - you can't really see that in the photos. > I concur with the idea she might be a lost pet.

Mind you it wasn't there later this afrternoon..

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Abyssinian mix - http://www.abychatcats.co.uk/ > British Shorthair mix - http://www.micimiao.it/corto/British.htm My first thought was an Abyssinian mix, but it sure looks a lot like the Singapura in your first link. Never heard of that breed before. I don't know what breed she is, she looks like Bette Davis, to tell you the truth. I hope you're going to keep her and take care of her... Train her to take inventory. With a whole warehouse to play in and a warm bed and good food, she'll be your best employee!! > I don't know what breed she is, she looks like Bette Davis, to tell you the > truth. > > I hope you're going to keep her and take care of her... Lol, the thought crossed my mind but it would be unfair if he/she was someone else's pet and just came in looking for mice. No collar though.... I have put some food down anyway, will see what happens. SignatureNiel H You could put a collar with a note and your number on it, asking to call if owned. No call, cat's yours. > > I don't know what breed she is, she looks like Bette Davis, to tell you > the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > someone else's pet and just came in looking for mice.

OMG that is really true! :) Only one way to find out if Kitty is indeed the reincarnation of the great Bette Davis... Give her a cigarette and see if she struts about saying "What a DUMP!" Holy cow! Very unusal. Looks like some kind of Somali mix to me, but wow, how different. Do you think you can give the little kitty a home? Definitely an interesting looking cat. > Was just in my warehouse and when I moved a bag of packing material I got > growled at from underneath it by a little kitty.

Oh, it is *so* cute! Please don't turn it out; maybe you could find it a home. It doesn't look like any Burmese I've ever seen, and the Singapura have big eyes like that. But those ears! It's adorable. > Holy cow! Very unusal. Looks like some kind of Somali mix to me, but wow, > how different. Do you think you can give the little kitty a home?

It didn't run and allowed [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > instantly see what they are put together from > skritches for the little lost furry one, hope kitty finds her way back home I thought Aby from the coat but she does not have the sleek, small, narrow head--at all. I think Kaeli got it with the Singpurrha [sp] idea. >> cute whatever mix, my impression is Aby with what you call the shorthair >> Persian ones again? [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I thought Aby from the coat but she does not have the sleek, small, narrow > head--at all. I think Kaeli got it with the Singpurrha [sp] idea. possibly, it could fit the general type for Singapura and the "very large eyes and very large ears", but it doesn't look like it has the markings around the nose and eyes - nose- and eyeliner if you will - that it's supposed to? I read that "simulations" of singapura with Burmese/Aby have been tried - but not accepted breed-wise, maybe this is it - after all Neil who met kitty in furson got impression of a Burmese Now we just have to hope Neil finds out somehow and let us know - inquiring minds need to know!

She's a Blue Abyssinian - the owner's the local vicar and he has 2 of them. His house is just across the field from my warehouse so all explained and kitty has a good home after all - just not mine. :( SignatureNiel H http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Snowdon-Computers Glad to hear that, Neil! Good on you for following through and finding her human. Her agouti coat is very unusual in color, but I still thought of the Abby, but those "Betti Davis eyes" really threw me, so was thinking she was possibly a cross between the Abby and Singapura breeds. Blue Abyssinia must be very new to the breed. Most unique feline I have seen in a very long time. The Vicar is truly a fortunate man to be owned by two of them.

I guess I was wrong about Abyssinian conformation. > His house is just across the field from my warehouse so all explained and > kitty has a good home after all - just not mine. :( Well, you are sweet for caring about her. I know it is supposed to be fine to let them roam where you are but it still worries me to death. They do get run over. >Well there is egg on my face! Kudos to Lewe for recognizing her breed. >I guess I was wrong about Abyssinian conformation. You're not. :) She's got a *terrible* head (for the breed standard - in all other ways she's adorable). :) Blue Abys, even in England, should look like this: http://www.abyssiniancatclub.com/images/images/grchmikkarbluebuccaneer.jpg Orchid See Orchid's Kitties! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/bengalpage Want a Purebred Cat?

Man, what eyes though. Yeah, I know what Abys look like and they don't have ears like chinchillas either. I'm glad she's a local, loved and cared for. But what is a vicar? British farmer? >>Well there is egg on my face! Kudos to Lewe for recognizing her breed. >>I guess I was wrong about Abyssinian conformation.

But what is a vicar? > > British farmer? > > Preacher? British equivalent of Rector. Anglican minister/priest who has a specific type of appointment to a parish. Most parish priests in the Church of England are Vicars, although some are Priests-in-Charge and other titles. In the US, most Episcopal (US flavor of Anglican) parish priests are called Rectors, although some are Priests-in-Charge, some are Priests-in-Residence, and some (confusingly) are Vicars. ;-) Priscilla, Episcopalian and, well, yes, Anglophile Signature"Inside every older person is a younger person -- wondering what the hell happened." -- Cora Harvey Armstrong Guees you've never seen "The Vicar of Dibley" on PBS? ;-) Cathy > Was just in my warehouse and when I moved a bag of packing material I got > growled at from underneath it by a little kitty.
