I am a cat lover, but I must say I don't much like white cats or cats with excessive amounts of white fur. I don't know why. I just find them ugly. A few white patches is ok, but Bob crosses the line.
i was thinking about this last night while i brushed my teeth and decided that it must be because white is as unflattering a colour on cats as it is on humans.
plus cats are refined creatures and a dirty white coat demeans them.
we did once have a predominantly white cat, paddy, and his fur was the softest i've ever stroked and his nature the most placid i have ever encountered. he was not, however, very handsome.
Bob and his brother Stig (who is black with white bits) are the softest, furriest, whitest cats I have ever met. Someone once asked me if their owner (Dave) shampoos them, but no. And they're both very pretty. Bob also has powers of posing for photos that Stig can only dream of.
We had two white cats when I was young and the terrible thing was that they got skin cancer on their pink little noses and ears. Poor things.
you've met bob? i thought these were just random cats off the net. if i'd known i was insulting a feline friend of yours, i would have been more restrained!
I actually took that picture of Bob. That's my (Sydney) bed he's sitting on. We used to look after him and Stig when Dave went on holidays. They're so furry and adorable. Awwwwww
I feel that I should set the record straight - Stig is actually called Stan. Robyn decided to call them them Stig and Bjorn, although obviously Bjorn didn't stick. I prefer Bobbles and Stannles.
In 2007 I made a Grand Romantic Gesture and moved to the other side of the world for the sake of my international boyfriend. In 2008 he became my husband, and the serious work of living and loafing in a new country really began.

Little Bobbles is so adorable and furry.

You cover your furry ears, Bob! Don't listen to the mean lady!
