    We get cats with similar markings sometimes, she's a calico/tabby mix, yes?

    Yep! Just a big 'ol tabby calico
    I wish I had a good picture of her eyes, they're a really amazing bright orange :D

    Regardless, she really is a beauty:rolleyes: Sometimes we get really beautiful calico kittens here and there. And we've had calicos off and on, and golly, they really have amazing eye colors! Both of my cats have bright gold eyes- but with those markings, they do go well with bright orange:D


    How come you got her from your friend? Couldn't keep her anymore?

    I've always loved calicos! Unfortunately I haven't actually met too many besides mine, but from what I've seen online their eyes really are gorgeous!

    Yeah, my friend's cat had a litter of kittens, and they kept them all for about a year or two before their landlord decided they couldn't have cats anymore so they had to rehome them all, and Tybalt was her favorite out of the litter so she gave her to me. It had nothing to do with her personality or anything, she's the sweetest, most patient cat I've ever met :P

    Ah, you've had her since a kitten, I assume? Isn't it amazing watching them grow?:D

    From the looks of it, you did get her fixed, yes? Cats who aren't altered are sleek and slim. But she seems to have some weight on her (my cat that we raised since he was a kitten has some weight because we had him altered when he came in to our shelter). It's always important to spay and neuter your pets!

    Just following up on calicos;
    Yeah, we don't get calicos or tortioseshells as much as we do tabbies or domestic shorthairs. I'm glad she was given to you, you both sound like a good pair:D

    I got her when she was about one and a half :)
    And yeah, she's fixed, though even if she wasn't she's just huge lol. She got weighed for the first time in a while the other day at the vet, 17 pounds! She's actually not that fat, she was pretty overweight last summer so she's got some loose skin, but she's just naturally built like bear haha

    Heh, yeah some cats are built differently. We have a huge grey and white cat at the shelter that's 21 pounds! He's not even fat, but he's almost the same size as a medium sized dog. His back reaches almost to my knee, just a couple inches off.

    But I adore your cat!:D As said before, hope she does well soon and she gets through her recovery. Her little pink cast looks lovely on her tho XD

    Aw man, 21 pounds?? that's amazing! I love big cats :D
    And thank you! She's got a new purple one now! Since she couldn't get her surgery until Monday we had to take her back to the vet to get a proper splint that'll last her until then

    I'm surprised he hasn't been adopted yet. He really is a cool cat!
    And that's cute; I bet she really likes the colors too! I'm glad she's doing well:D Best of luck for her surgery, and I hope she recovers pleasantly;) I also hope it's not too expensive on your bill- I know some shelters charge a lot for just check ups alone, so I hope everything goes well for you all!
