Post a picture of your pet

I'm not sure those longhair tabbies are siblings of the little shorthaired tortie.

What colour is mum? Do you know?

Because I think you might be looking for two separate mums here.

Well, you never know, but although you can't see it in the photo, one of the tabbies is quite red underneath and on it's feet/legs.

Cheers, also probably in this instance sleeping beauty, or Rip van Winkle, god knows what she does all night and day, but she comes round to ours, probably about 6pm or so, folds herself up, and has to be woke up and evicted At around 11 pm otherwise she would be there till god only knows what time.

Cats *do* sleep for about 18 hours a day, don't you know!

Common mistake to make there - it crops up constantly on FB cat groups as people keep asking "is my cat a tortie". Usually happens with male tabbies, believe it or not.

That'll just be the ground colour of the tabby coat. It's a kind of biscuit shade, but not genetically red. That's something which is dependent on a different set of genetic instructions that determine the intensity and tone of the coat colour. Sometimes that tan colour is quite pale and cool in tone, but in some individuals, it can be very rich and warm, which is where it can be mistaken for red.

He’s still very skinny and puking a bit but that’s normal! And pretty bald!

Ah, sorry to hear that.

Yeah he has inflammatory bowel disease. Seems ok generally if hot!

That's good. My 2 boys are typically Scottish, fail miserably in the heat, and are really struggling this past week or so with the heat. Tough for animals right now.

Mesdames Poppy & Lexi are looking decidedly Salvador Dali-esque...

My 2 boys know where the dreamies are kept, but assure me they would never touch them without my permission.
