Spock & Delilah...

[Fran]

Here they are, the two babies that are staying with us. Spock, I have to say is showing lovely promise for showing, so fingers crossed he keeps his 'type' Delilah, has both the tortie and tabby personalities, she is very very naughty!! :roll: :-D

Ah so you did decide on Spock?? So glad!!! Really lovely pics Fran - esp with you not feeling 100% - no camera shake at all. Well done.

[Mags]

Stunning pics Fran! :D

Yes, I'm so sorry, I should have updated, we did indeed decide to call him spock, although he gets called Spockie in the main, so thank you....great suggestion, he suits it and we love it!! :D

Lovely pics, Fran. They are really looking promising especially Spock. Love his new name.

Hope you are feeling a little better today.

Cutie-pies :cool: ...
how many cats will you have now Fran with these extra 2? :shock:

[candyshandy]

Great piccies - they are stunning kitties.

Excuse my ignorance - what are the 'extreme' traits. I expect the ears but is it anything else like bone structure etc? Also, is the extreme type the GCCF standard which I think is the same for persians? Just interested. :)

We will have 11 but two live in the stud quaters, 2 are outdoor only/porch cats so actually in the house we will have 5 adults and 2 kittens :-D

Yes. the ears in the main. They should be large and flared at the base but the head/ears should form a perfect 'triangle' they should also have a lithe, long body and long tapering tail free of faults, Eye colour is important too and in Orientals should be a good, clear green, eyes should be Oriental in set and not too open. The list goes on..... but hope you get the general idea?? Totally opposite of the breed standard for Persians :-D

[candyshandy]

:) :) Absolutely!!! I don't think you could get a more different cat!

I always thought Orientals/Siamese were extremely outgoing cats but when I've been at cat shows they tend to be under blankets. Perhaps they only get out of bed for a minimum fee - like the supermodels :) :)

:shock: Siamese/Orientals ARE extremely outgoing!!! I would never dream of showing a cat of any breed that hides under their blankets :? I don't think you can have seen a fair representation of the breed tbh as hiding under blankets is certainly not the norm, quite the opposite infact! Most Ori's / Meezers are pawing you through the bars for attention!!

[candyshandy]

Perhaps I have just seen them later in the day and by then they're bushed!

I must admit I didn't get chance to see them at the Supreme just local shows.

I'll make a point of seeing them earlier at the next show :)

Are you going to the Lancashire show in a few weeks time??

[Grete]

[dinahsmum]

Lovely pics!

I can imagine meezers under their blankies saying "you couldn't afford me dear" :-D Like the supermodel thing

[sarahd]

Oh wow Delilah has really come on she is such a pretty girl.
Spock is going to be a very handsome young man.

Those ears are amazing i've never seen anything like it lol

I keep coming back to look at Delilah and Spockie! What does their fur feel like - it looks to be very fine and silky?

[dandysmom]

Amazing ears! Are you sure they weren't crossed with fennecs a few generations back, Fran? :-D
Seriously, simply gorgeous both of them, especially my favorite Delilah! More pics!!

[Elaine]

Both are absolutely stunning, I love Spocks mean and moody look in the third piccie:lol:

[babycakes]

Well what can I say they are both stunning Fran grown into beautiful, strong looking kittens.

Female logic - I love the way in your head you have sectioned the number of cats off into a "feasible number" ;) in the past you just used to reply 4 - 5 whatever now you section them. What is your limit or are you buying next door for the cats to live in:-D

Seriously nice pics though; and I do adore the name Spock.

:lol: No particular limit Kazz, not whilst I have the love, finances, time to meet all their needs, time to stimulate and play, etc... The day I haven't got just one of those things, that's the day I'm at my limit ;)
