Blue (blue spots)
Lavender (lavender or bluish-pink spots)
Fawn (pinkish-brown/tan spots)

Then add the Silver to the background to get Silver, Chocolate-Silver, etc for the other 6 colors. Does that help you pick out the 2 colors? I'm guessing one of them was a Chocolate
OK, my memory isn't great but I believe one was Cinnamon and one Lavender

I posted to the other thread. You get 1/2 point on the "oci" - its a Ruddy Aby (but Ocicats do have Aby in the background).

My pics aren't nearly as good as Steve's but I found the Oci pics.

Here is the only half-decent photo I got of the light one and I'm not even sure if that's the ocicat or a bengal. I know, I'm hopeless!
That was a seal lynx point bengal.

Looks like the one is a chocolate, the other a lavender.
So my memory was "half" right!

I didn't see any Russian Blues there.

Good tawny Somali's look like foxes, they are stunning. But my favourites are the black silvers.

I love the silver cats, i.e., the silver Bengals, silver tabbies, etc. Do you have a link to a black silver that I could go have a look at?

Oh my! So many beautiful cats - so little time. I would have loved to take at least one of each home yesterday.

I spoke to one lady who has a bonded cat-sitting business. That sounds like something I would like to do when I retire from my full-time job in 2.5 years.

I love the black silver somalis as well. Back when there was a chance I could get a second cat I was going to go for a male black silver somali. Nikita however has made it perfectly clear that she prefers being a single cat so that's not going to happen.
