So one of my friends had found this cat that his neighbours had been feeding, and saw she was heavily pregnant, so he brought her inside. She had the kittens, and he is looking after them, and trying to find homes for them. He has no idea what sort of cats they are, he says a black cat made the grey cat pregnant, though, that is in a little more vulgar terms. So here are the photos:

So that is them, they all survived :) and seem to be doing very well.
 
she doesn't look like an ordinary "blue" moggie to me - she looks a bit like a russian blue cat (is that their "proper" name?). :unsure: they're all absolutely gorgeous, especially mum. :wub: has he had any luck finding her owners? was she chipped?
 
what beautiful little things, i'll 2nd that nomination

i reckon your right kathy, she screams pedigree to me (maybe not pure breed but she's definately not just moggy is she?!)
 
hi, no homes yet for them he did have three people interested, but hasn't heard anything back from them, the mother wasn't chipped.

I actually do think she's not pedigree. At best a cat with a grey-breed background. Maybe a mix. There are quite a few grey cats in my neighborhood, all are moggies. All are stunning. The face to me just doesn't say pedigree. A good Russian blue will have less of a wedge face, more rounded, stocky, though not smushed face (they are a powerful looking cat), and an exotic shorthair will have a nice Persian-type face. The orientals will have a very strong wedge, much stronger than hers and they just have a more angular build. A good Russian or Chartreuse (A french breed grey cat) will also not have tabby markings, which she's got on her tail. Of course, tabby markings may be present in a young cat, if she's a young mother, but I don't know her age by looking at the pictures. I could, however, be super wrong, as I'm no expert. I just like to thumb through the big books at Costco. :lol: And there was one on cat breeds last time I went. In addition, I'd think somebody would chip a pedigree. Wouldn't they? That makes sense, but some people don't think that way.

That being said, she is absolutely gorgeous and mating with a black cat has produced lovely kittens. The black must have grey in his background too, because for an all-grey litter to occur, grey has got to be dominant. That is the best arguement there for a pedigree background, the all-grey litter. Usually a moggy litter is a mixed bag, which is what I've got. There's a lighter grey kitten with some shading that is really pretty.

I second the POTM nod. I don't think you'll have any trouble finding homes for these little lookers. I'm really into the grey cats right now, Max from my litter is grey with a spattering of tabby marking which may or may not go away. Very pretty.

llj :)
 
Thank you for your replies, he really hopes to find homes for them, and i hope he manages to. And thanks for the potm noms :)
 
awww they are gorgeous!! i love how furry they are lol. super cute. Any news on whether they got rehomed?

I agree with you there, thats why I didnt think it was a purebred, although maybe a mix.... I like the one with the dark ear markings, almost like a pure grey siamese with chocolate ears lol.. cute kitties though!
 
Yeah, one of them will be picked up for his new home this weekend :D
