What colour of cats do you prefer?


If you could only pick one colour of cat, what would you choose?

I'd choose black cats because they are hardest to place in homes.

If I could only have the choice of one, it would have to be a tabby.

Re: What colour of cats do you prefer?


To me, tabbies are just the perfect cat - not really sure why, always doted on tabbies as a child, birthday cards etc. usually had tabbies on them! Of course my first cat Merlin was a tabby and although Kizzy is strictly a torbie, she is very much a tabby in her behaviour.

I agree with tabby, oddly enough as I've never had one! I've had seal point Siamese, ruddy Aby, two blue torbies, a ginger and a brindled tortie. But tabbies are the basic cat!

Yes tabbies here too. All those years longing for a cat, it was always a tabby i visualised always soft spot for gingers too but then they are (usually) tabbies. Wee Mindy has ginger tabby markings - need i go on....

Love them all tho......

As i always say in connection with White Boxers - the colour doth not make the dog ( cat) they are all special in their own way

Silver Tabby, of which Chloe is one, Marmaduke is lilac colourpoint and is very pretty but not as pretty as Chloe. We were after a Silver Tabby BSH boy but couldn't find any local so Lilac colourpoint it was.

Re: What colour of cats do you prefer?


Would have to be a 'Naughty Tortie' here.

So many of you say tabbies but all cats are tabbies underneath it is jsut the presence of the Agouti gene that makes them a visual or 'True Tabby'. Except in the reds/gingers!!! They can look like a 'True Tabby' but in fact be a self cat with no Agouti gene or the can look like a red/ginger self and be a 'True Tabby' with the Agouti gene. This is down to the way colour is laid down on the hair shaft. Just a touch of genetics!!

Re: What colour of cats do you prefer?


i must admit, i cant pick between black and calico because thats what my 2 are. I always said before i got harris that i didnt want a black cat but when i saw him i fell in love with him. But i must admit, i would love to have a wee ginger cat as i think they are lovely aswell
