Well, as fate would have it - or maybe kismet - the bsh near me, which I knew might have a red or cream kitten, is nesting now. So far she has 2 girls and a golden boy. Anyone any experience of these? I've done a search and found golden tipped, which to my amateur eyes, looks like a nice tabby.
Still waiting for the ragdoll crosses to appear, but really not terribly in the mood for either :? .
Time will heal though.

Do what you feel comfortable and happy doing - nothing else. Hugs - my thoughts are with you.

if the time doesnt feel right then wait, only you can tell when you're ready for a new furby.
Good luck in whatever you decide,

Oh I'm sure the empty space will get filled, sooner or later.
Remember I was looking for my ginger tom long before this. In fact I think I've been looking for nearly 6 months! Amazing.

He seems a slightly different colour unless it is just the way the piccies have been taken. The second cat seems more brown than red as it were? He is a very gorgeous dude though ;)

I'm not sure what 'classic golden boy' really means. Searches throw up these boys, which I'd describe as classic tabby - but what do i know?:?
I've told the breeder I'll be in touch soon but my thoughts are a bit elsewhere at present, and why, so I'll find out in due course.
I like both pics..............they're not ginger toms :roll:

Hmmm they are lovely chaps but not what you were looking for at least I don't think so :?

I am certain now kitten season is apon us you will find your ginger boy. Nothing in the shop windows/papers locally yet?

Handsome chaps H, but not the big rougish ginger toms you were looking for originally?
Then again i am a prime example of mind changing! I had my heart set on a nice seal point siamese..but every litter we inspected never seemed too have the 'pazaaz' kitten i was looking for (plus the fact something usually went wrong!)..then i started too 'investigate' further and went and had a look at two bengal litters, a bengal x bsh litter and then Elsa's litter (bsh x m c) and there was something about her little face and marbled bronze stripes that just made me need her!
I think it depends on if this golden kitten is the right looking and charactersied chap for the DM household...

Just peeked in a BSH book i have and it says 'Golden is only a permitted colour when it is shaded golden'
Shaded golden are the handsome chaps in the pictures you posted DM...

Kittening has finished, she's done a re-count and there are 4 girls. :roll:
No bsh for me then! That's fine - saves me making a decision/compromise. Kismet rules again! ;)

Kismet is bidding his time to make an appearance.;)

Back to the search!
