...There is the british blue, black red, cream and white.The tabby is very popular and can be distinguished by the m shaped frown marks on the forehead. Very few cats are more striking than the silver tabby (dense black markings on a silver background). Tortoiseshells and the bi-colour tortie and white are common only on females as the tortoiseshell pattern is linked to gender. There is also colours of tipped, smoke and bicolours. Did you know that you can get a shorthaired cat in chocolate and lilac. COLOURS OF EYES Most shorthairs have gold, green or copper eyes. White cats may have blue or odd colour eyes (one blue and one of another colour). TEMPERAMENT These cats can be quiet, self-sufficient, not usually temperamental. Some do not like being picked up, but they are fairly easy to own and enjoy the company of people. LIFE EXPECTANCY 14-15 years... Read review

Advantages: You can earn points to get free stuff
Disadvantages: A lot of the stuff is not very good

...keyrings and chocolate bars, this is a good site for you. If you are patient enough to save up all your recruits, just think how long you have to save for. Can you invite 120 friends? Can you deal with receiving news 60 news letters in your mail box every day? Lets face it. The only good rewards on this site are the gift vouchers and there are SO many other sites where you can do this. Now, having said all that, the site itself is very badly designed. The whole site is black and sometimes it is hard to read the green writing. There is also a silly gimmic where your mouse becomes a torch and you can read the 'sercret messages' on the site by using your 'torch'. Most of the secret messages are pointless, telling you that you can change your 'Cat's into recruits... That's about it. The actual navigation of the site is not too bad. There is a menu...

Advantages: An Easily Accessible Collection Of Poetry For All Ages.
Disadvantages: None

...in the tale. A particular part of the poem highlights this all too well: ‘The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore: When you let him in, then he wants to be out; He’s always on the wrong side of every door.’ Most cat owners will spot numerous little mannerisms described in this poem that will have them nodding their head in agreement. It really highlights the general personality of cats perfectly; ‘For he will do As he do do And there’s no doing anything about it!’ The Song Of The Jellicles’ This is quite a musical poem as the title implies. The rhythm of the poem is instantly evident and you can hear yourself reading along to the beating of a drum. Jellicle cats are described perfectly as the ‘black and white cats’. The poem centres around their dance to the ‘Jellicle Moon’. The imagery is wonderful once again. This poem also highlights another... Read review

Advantages: FRIEND FOR LIFE
Disadvantages: NONE

...From a very young age i have always loved animals, especialy cats. Dogs are nice but i think there is something really special about cats. I currently have 3 little boy cats 'Gismo' who is half maine coon. 'Cole' who is black and white and part siamise and my new arrival is 'Kale' a 15 day old kitten whose mum rejected him at birth. ( i only ever intended to have one cat.) lol. CHOOSING A CAT: To make sure you get a cat that is right for you take a few things onto consideration. Do you have other animals in the house?Will the new cat get on with them? Do i have the time/ dedication/money to look after a cat? If getting a rescue cat from the RSPCA etc just remember that it might have been mistreated and might not be the happy bouncy friendly cat you wanted but with time and dedication they usually improve dramatically. Another thing... Read review

Advantages: Highly Amusing for Cat Lovers Everywhere
Disadvantages: Quite pricy

...day he was back at my house, having escaped. AND HE WASN’T MY CAT….! And at the moment, my neighbour’s cat has moved in practically full time now, and is the first one upstairs in the morning. However that balances itself out, because my female cat now lives with another neighbour too…This is actually option Six on Cat owning – Joint Ownership. Nett Cats = Three. See. Its Joint Ownership. Then we move on to types of cat. And this I find hilarious because I can relate to so much of it. First of all we have had our fair share of Black Cats with White Paws, which Pratchett argues has to be a breed. He says they are always called Sooty. My family book the trend here, as ours was called Snowball, and we had a white long haired cat called Sooty….It wasn’t my choice honest. And I howled laughin at the genre “Sort of Tabby Cats with a Bit... Read review

Advantages: Cute and Cuddly
Disadvantages: Potty training (see paragraph 4)

...cats can be given as many treats as you feel necessary Gifts As with all livestock cats should not be bought as gifts. It is, however, perfectally alright to buy gifts for cats. The Litter Box !!!Warning - This product smells a lot and can be very messy!!! Potty training is always hard, especially if your cat is like mines and is very old when you start using the litter box. If you can't convince it to use the box you can always get a catflap and train the cat to do it's buisness outside. Either way works brilliantly. Please ensure you start training your kitten when it is very young as the older it gets the harder it gets to train. British Shorthairs COLOUR This breed of cat comes in several different colours. Here are just a few; Orange/Gold/Ginger White Gray Black Turquoise CHARACTERISTICS Shorthairs are beautiful, fun and friendly... Read review

Advantages: something to do on a boring evening
Disadvantages: not very scary

...I was in the mood of watching an old horror flick. So, I went down to my local video store to see what I could find. After searching through the piles of old films, I see this. It says on the cover, the most terrifying story ever, and shows the face of a black cat. There was nothing else that stood out, so I rented it. Well, what can I say. Instead of being scared, I found myself laughing throughout the movie. Not because of any funny scenes. Ok, so the story......... It was in 1965 in Texas. Animal lover Lou (Robert Frost) is given a black cat by his wife Diana (Robyn Baker) for a first anniversary present. He names the cat Pluto and begins showering it with attention, much to Diana's chagrin. Lou spends too much time with Pluto, ignoring his wife's sexual needs and drinking way too much. For their second anniversary, Lou comes home... Read review

Advantages: giving a rescue cat another chance in life
Disadvantages: none

...I’ve always love cats. When I was five years old, I begged my parents to let me have one. I continued begging and pleading, without success for the next six years. And then, on my 11th birthday, just when I'd almost given up hope entirely, my mum presented me with the best gift ever - a beautiful black kitten. When I look back on my childhood, I remember that moment as being one of my happiest ever. I no longer live at home now, but I still have cats & I really couldn’t imagine a life without them. I got my first cat, Willow, from a friend of the family, when she was a kitten of 10 weeks old. It took a long time to find Willow - after numerous unsuccessful trips to rescue centres, such as Battersea, visiting pet shops and responding to newspaper adverts. I now wish I had done more research, as I was unaware at the time... Read review

Advantages: looks tasty
Disadvantages: -

.... There are medium sized chunks of meat in lots of jelly which can easily be scooped out and mixed in with biscuits to make a tasty meal for your cat. The cans are only suitable for adult cats and it is recommended they can eat up to one can a day with two separate feeds depending on how hungry a cat you have and how much they like to eat. The packaging of the food is very friendly and one that seems reliable. The tin doesn't bash easily and the good thing about the tins is they have ring pulls which come off easily. The felix logo is on the blue orange and yellow background with the cute black and white cat's face staring. Around the blue ribbok on the paper around it it says in jelly. The tins are rounded at the bottom so the metal isn't sharp and won't scratch the furniture. I know a lot of friends who feed Felix to their cats more than other... Read review
