I can always tell when a dog person brings in a cat. The clue has to do with how they answer the question on the intake form - what colour is your kitty?
Sometimes the answer to this question makes me smile.
Cats do not come in beige (well neither do dogs for that matter, but I've never had anyone describe their dog as beige, but it happens with all the time with cats.)
Cats do not come in tan or brindle either. If one is a true cat person they use a whole different language of exquisite sounding colours - cream, blue, seal, flame, lilac and of course chocolate.
A kitty would be proud to be called a seal, mitted (see the white paws) like my Annie. She will not answer to brown, beige and white.
Gabriel is beautiful no matter what you call him - but he isn't grey - he is a blue point.
As is Cecil - he is formally known as a blue, bi-colour.
And this stunning cat is a flame and seal, mitted, torbie (a cross between a tortoise shell and tabby).
I've been collecting cat hair in these luscious colours for quite some time and recently spun it up and made a number of little bags.
Now I love them - I think they turned out quite nicely.
But when I went to post them on Etsy, where I've been told that you need to be as factual as possible, I realized the colours of these bags are best described as shades of brown, grey and heaven forbid tan!
