update on the cutie pie she seems to have grown into her fur!

Hi all, this is my fake Nebelung cat Benny. He was rolling around on the coffee table in the sunbeams and I couldn't resist taking a few shots! Enjoy! PS: I think he looks like the Cookie Monster

I got three actually - one pet loo, the one with the synthetic grass (they use it as a chair); one normal plastic cheapo litter box (they use this one as a toilet), and a hooded litter tray (they ignore this one). I tried putting them into the hooded litter tray but they got spooked... I think...

Everyone, post your kitty litter pans! I am thinking of getting a deep underbed storage container and making it into a litter space for them - the cheapo plastic tray I am using is not big enough - my Maine Coon size cat keeps kicking the sand out of the box even though he tries not to (he...

It's only when I'm in the shower... he's happily entertaining himself with the cat gym upstairs now... I hear him coming downstairs actually... he always gets this worried look on his face when I go take a bath...

Hi, my new cat Benny is a funny one. Everytime I take a bath or shower, he rushes into the room meowing and meowing. When I looked out this morning, he'd managed to jump onto the shelf next to the shower and was peering at me intently doing the slow blinking thing. He then tried to jump into...

Just like to say YOUR CAT IS GORGEOUS! Is his name Carrot?

Mmmm yeah that's why I got confused. The websites made it sound like it was extremely difficult to breed a long haired blue cat, which they dubbed Nebelung and registered as a 'Long Hair Russian Blue' standard. So I was a little confused about the genetics of it all.

Great posts guys. I was debating whether or not to get soft claws / paws for my cat and this is what a UK forum had to say. Ummm... thoughts?

Yeah I was going to say. I was born in the UK, grew up in a SE Asian country (aged 7-15), now have settled in Australia. There were so many stray cats running around in the country I grew up in! It was also a Moslem country so cats were considered the ideal pet. Unfortunately there was not...

Ehh, semi decent photo of little Benny. Decided to name him after the cute fat cat in TOP CAT from the 1960's.

Hi - random question. Are male cats more smoochy than female cats? All the male cats I've met absolutely adore me (ahem) and would fall asleep in my lap / arms purring contentedly. The female cats seem to like their own space and would spazz out if I hugged them too tight / patted them for...

Yeah my newly adopted 6yo cat is like that as well. It was so bad I thought she was abused in the past. She is afraid of everything - even her own tail... there was once she was asleep and I patted her on the head because she looked so happy; she jumped up and scrambled over herself, fell over...

Awesome replies guys - yes he is absolutely stunning (although his eyes are a little rounder and closer together making him look a bit more like a teddy bear). I picked him for his character; he is the most affectionate kitty I've ever met! The others were either sleeping or yowling but he just...
