Arabella! The British Blue.

My youngest sister in law has a cat called 'Arabella' she is a British Shorthair the pedigreed version of the traditional British domestic cat, with a distinctively chunky body, dense coat and broad face.  Also my eldest daughter in law has one and her name is Chloe.  These cats are kept inside, need a lot of brushing and leave their cat hair everywhere.  A good scratching pole is a necessity for Arabella.

I used to own a few cats when first married when we lived on a farm.  When we came to the city to live, all the other cats had gone expect one which I brought to the city and he eventually died of old age.  No more cats after that.

  1. Janice, those are very unusual cats, and I'm not a real fan of the look. I'm a dog lover, so cats are a real attraction for me....but I still like the ordinary cat.

    1. Very thick coat but if touched out comes the fur. I'm pleased I don't own that breed.

  4. I am a cat lover and unapologetic about it and a lover of the mongrels, the strays, the unpure in genetics. We have bred a lot of animals badly, like the poor English bulldog whose underbite renders him hopeless and the Persian, who can barely breath or eat. I'll take a stray anyday, but this blue kitty with the wide set eyes and upturned nose, is quite pretty.

  8. I am not a cat person, I don't hate them or anything I am just not that into pets, really I am not a dog person either I just don't have the patience to deal with pets, maybe if I end up living alone when I am old I might get a kitten/cat but that is a long time off if ever

    1. My parents when alive were not into cats and dogs, so I can relate to what you are saying.
