This is the latest batch of photos from Leanne and I think her title for the poster is very apt:
‘Brilliant whites and glorious greys’
….certainly describes those beautiful cats and kittens.
Grey is an interesting colour for a cat’s coat I think, because there are many shades of grey.

We have only ever had one grey cat, we called her Alice and sadly she only lived for three years. We rescued her as a tiny kitten from a coal shed where the dog of the family had attacked the mother cat, killed Alice’s siblings and injured her hip.
It seems that the dog caused her brain damage too, although she had 3 happy years with us before she had to be PTS due to having fits constantly. It was a very sad time.
Do you have a grey cat or a white cat? Or do you know one? Leanne and I hope you will share your photos here of both/either colour.

Another shot of the Mexican cat. This might be considered more of a tabby than a gray.
I traveled to Mexico this year in April. I was in the state of Guanajuato, and spent time in San Miguel de Allende and the beautiful city of Guanajuato. I was looking for cats the whole trip and didn’t see many. I finally started asking people, where are all the cats? Don’t people keep cats here in Mexico? The answer was always the same. “Oh, everyone has a cat, but there are too many dogs out during the day, so people keep the cats in during the daylight, and let them out at night”. Interesting. I love Mexico. And I like that sentiment. There were a lot of dogs in those cities, but most were domestic on leashes. I know there are packs of feral dogs, but none that I saw during my visit. This was the only cat I saw, doing what all cats do. “Let me in please!” Another beauty. This was a small cat. Probably female.
This is a cat who lives in Africa! My friend traveled there and photographed many wonderful people. She is a cat lover, and she told me this beauty was the only domestic cat she saw while there. I have another international cat to post following this one.
gigi is a lovely colour even if she is a bit serious
