I have been around cats all of my long life and have never see a tabbico with the vivid colors that Gigi has.
She is beautiful.

Are tabbico's rare?
You really hit the kitty jackpot with Steve and Gigi.

They're both just stunning and Gigi's colour, wow!

Where emerald eyes are smiling
Thanks for taking a look guys and for all your comments! It's wonderful having the two of them here. They both slept the whole night with us on the bed and barely made a peep! Except Steve.....everytime he things your paying attention to him he starts purrrrring up a storm.

I've been in and out all day so didn't get a chance to get a good close up, but this pic is pretty cute. Yes, his eyes look emerald (still with some yellow in them right now). Plus, you get to see his whole body....he still has a little head but his body is growing rapidly!

Fran, you made me laugh out loudwhen I read that (love the mental picture!). Be careful what you ask for though!


Just for you .... an up close and personal pic of Gigi:

I was surprised too! Gigi was a little more hesitant and cautious but Steve acted like he owned the place as soon as he came in. Today both are settling in really well and playing up a storm.

Not sure if their rare, but I don't see a lot of them. Gigi is quite remarkable with all the patterns and colours in her coat. Here's some more example pictures from today. I lover her facial markings:




And from the back, check out her raccoon tail! You should see when Steve chases her and her tail becomes 3 times the size....I think it's the only thing that can 'poof' out on her!

:
I wonder if Steve & Bayley both have the same eye color! Sounds like they do - his are the same green & some yellow too

Don't you love that raccoon tail on Gigi!? Bayley has the same thing, I think they are the cutest!

They are so gorgeous, and the updated photos really show that. They sure are at home, aren't they? I'm in love

Just stunning


I know it's been said before, but that tail on Steve is just gorgeous and Gigi has really interesting markings. I don't know if I've ever seen a torbie that had such pronounced orange. Beautiful.

I hope you have many wonderful years with them.

I shared your delightful slide show of Steve and Gigi with my family and kitty loving friends.
Of course both kitties are gorgeous but I must say that your photos of them are exceptional and deserve applause.

I am in love with Gigi.

Awww.....thanks so much! Actually, I haven't even tried to get a good picture yet since I haven't had time to do a proper photo shoot. Yes, Gigi is the most interesting looking cat I have ever seen and Steve is really a charmer.

They really are quite a pair.
