They do - that's the difference between the kitten coat which has no ticking and the adult coat which does and of course the undercoat gets much richer as an adult. In homage to my lost cats - this is Pasht, my Usual Abyssinian (also referred to as "Velcro" and "The Slitherer" who started me off on the road to perdition way back in 1985, although we always introduced him as “the cause of it all"!! Don't really mean that, but if we'd never got him, with his wonderful personality, we wouldn't have ended up with a houseful of cats and addicted to showing or breeding, so he's without doubt to blame!! ![]() As a kitten a couple of days after we brought him home and as an adult posing in the garden ![]() But this girl was without doubt my soul mate. This is Sorcha (gaelic for “radiant”) and she was my foundation queen and the cat in my avatar. From the day I brought her home she decided she was mine and I was hers and I returned that sentiment unequivocally. I lost her 4 year ago in February and it still hurts! Harry is her double and even now I occasionally catch a glimpse of him in my peripheral vision and my heart lifts because for that split second I think it is her! She was never very far away from me - I couldn't even work without her on my shoulder! ![]() ![]() These photographs were taken at a show the day she became a Grand Champion – she was nearly 9 year old when they were taken. After that we had her neutered and she then went on to become a Grand Premier too and was the top winning Somali in the country at the age of 9 in 1999. ![]() And this was the last photograph I ever took of her when she was 14. You can see just how much Harry is like her - he's just a masculine version of her and maybe can understand how hard it was for me in the early days after I lost her to look at him and yet how much more precious it actually makes him!! ![]() .

Here are my moggies
. I've had loads of cats but only have 3 now and my boyfriend has 1 aswell!Kippa is the eldest of the 3. She is 3 years old and has an attitude. Last year some sick person shot her with a pellet gun so she hasn't been right after that. She is calming down now and has recently started sleeping on my lap ![]() ![]() ![]() Next is Crab who is 2 years old and a right nervous reck. We are not sure why but she was fine not so long ago. She is so friendly and loves a good cuddle. She is the killer of them all who brings us magpies, pigeons, allsorts! ![]() ![]() Next is Peanut, rescued from RSPCA. We think she was a feral when she was bought in. She is my little baby, almost a year old. She has a curly tail which curls round her back . She is a devil cat though, stealing toilet roll, dangling off your leg and fighting with the other cats! ![]() ![]() Last but not least is my boyfriend's kitten Marco. Not sure how old he is, he was about 6/7 week old in June when they got him. He is a gorgeous cat but he's really got it in for me, he dangles off my arm and attacks my ankle at any given chance! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Boo my white deaf boy. He was brought into the sanctuary as someone had bought him as a present for an elderly person who kept tripping over him. We tried for ages to get a home with an enclosed garden as he was to hyperactive to be a housecat. None ever came so I brought him home
![]() Tinkerbell(stinky) Found as a 2 week old kitten with her sister. The lady who found them had been trying to handrear them with no heat and cows milk. Sadly her sister died within an hour of us getting them. I fought long and hard for this kittens life but she pulled through and now lives with us ![]() Sasha(the evil one) Found one bonfire night as a hysterical older kitten. She had a split personality and went from being really sweet to a wild cat and she actually did some serious damage to some volunteers. I brought her home and released her upstairs and she now accepts that she is safe and nobody ever demands anything off her. She can be quite sweet but the dogs are terrified of her ![]()

Jasper came from a feral mum but the dogwarden used the cats newborn kitten to bait the trap with and in her panic she managed to claw his head and left him slightly brain damaged. Somewhere in his genes he has a pedigree cat as his mum was a black moggy and his brother was black/white
Inky is in the background as he was was of the 3 ferals I took in (Izzys brother) I rehomed him twice through the sanctuary but both times he hid away for 2 weeks so we decided to keep him here were he is very confident with us Jasper and Inky ![]() Fudge a black kitten we were fostering that my son fell totally in love with so she stayed ![]() Oscar brought by someone the day I took my first ever handreared kitten to be put to sleep aged 13 years. We were asked if he was ours and my OH said no so the people just put him down and walked away. Oscar walked in the house past all the dogs as if he had always lived here. He was quickly tested vaccinated and castrated. Hes about 14 years old now and still sucks the end of his tail Cat nip fix ![]() ![]() Honey the most dog loving cat ever. Was found as a stray kitten and was quite ill. There was no room at the sanctuary at the time so skinny Honey staed here and grew into this blob LOL ![]()
