That's a stunning Ocelot. I think the nearest looking domestic cat would be the Bengal?

I like the way my Tonkinese cat Rigel looks in photos.

Kevin,

I have two Tonkinese as well! Rigel Kentaurus (Rigel) and Bellatrix Carina (Bella).

My Rigel is a seal point, like yours. Bella's a blue mink.

Any photos of your Tonks H?

That's a nice Ragdoll Col. What's it's name? I have a Ragdoll kitten as well, Orion. He is very difficult to photograph well. He's cream mitted with orange colour points. Here he is at 6 months.

My bitser. I got her from the RSPCA when she was about 10 months old. She was picked up as a starving stray with a litter of kittens.
What she lacks in pedigree she makes up for with her gentle, affectionate nature.

This is my Molly, with her moustache. We got her from the pound. She was handed over to them at approximately 4 weeks old walking the street bashed ups you couldn't wish for a more gentle loving cat, she's still scared of everything that moves and won't even come into the garden.

She . . . ( the rag doll ) belongs to the Mrs's ... gave her the name of ' Honey ' . . . . but that's girls for you....

BTW ... these ' rag dolls ' ( the breed that is ) have another name . . . ' puppy cats ' .... because they follow you everywhere . .. just like a ' puppy ' does ..... hence the nickname.
Ours do ... don't like being alone ... must be where we are.....they even ' sit ' outside the toilet when we use it .....
If we are in the kitchen .. they are in the kitchen .... if we are in the lounge .... guess what ... yep ... they must be there to

We don't ' own ' them . . . . they ' own ' us . . . . .

Col......

Yeah both of mine follow me everywhere, except when they are chasing each other like maniacs. I had to get something after my last cat died last year. In retrospect I probably should have got a rescue cat. And I didn't plan on getting two purebreds, but I was always curious what Tonks and Ragdolls were like.

Kevin,

http://www.pbase.com/image/125656539/original.jpg - Rigel
http://www.pbase.com/image/125656207/original.jpg - Bella

I was on a waiting list for about 18 months before I got them. Award-winning stock and lineage.

They are brother and sister and are 9 this year.
