Re: Tigger is 14!
 

While it is true that true tortishells can only be female, it is not true that only females have 3 colours. The tabby in the picture dub posted has more that 3 colours, as does any male version of my cat...

Re: Tigger is 14!
 

my cat Charlie had three colours, if you can call it that... White, ginger and dark ginger. He was a year older than me, until he died - in my arms - a couple of years ago aged 19.

I had a dog that was put down at 16. My parents brought it with them from Trinidad. That was a sad year. I went to bording school, wherupon my gran died and my dog got put down. It was around that time that my other gran's alzheimers got bad too.

Since nobody's really guessing anymore, I'll give you another hint. Africa.

Re: Tigger is 14!
 

my guess is it`s either a somali or a serengeti breed.

Re: Tigger is 14!
 

Not exactly, but they would be found there, especially the serengeti. In fact, "still to be found in most parts of the continent with the exclusion of the true desert areas around the Sahara and the central African rain forests belt. The species also extends up to the Arabian Peninsula, where it can be found in most coastal regions away from the dessert heartland."

The map they provided was not all that accurate. We lived in an area where they were more common, and where there was a sort of local midget-breed as well as the normal ones. I therefore prefer this description.

"Habitat

They will be found in virtually any type of habitat so long as there is enough food and cover

Re: Tigger is 14!
 

i thought it was a serengeti breed because of the leopard like spots. im convinced that tigger is this breed here or this one too here. Found too that my cat is more like a siberian here looks really like my cat tommy & another resemblance too here but with the colours of the siberian.

Re: Tigger is 14!
 

Uhhh, domestic short hair?

Brown tabby?

Re: Tigger is 14!
 

dub, you are dedicated, so I won't tell you outright. The Ocicat is very cute btw. Start from that.

The soles of Tigger's paws are black.

Tigger is not sociable with respect to other animals.

Tigger has red ears.

And last, but not least: I gave a major hint in my 1st reply to this thread.

[edit] This is not the same, but shows very similar patterns. Judging by the description, methinks these people have not seen cats outside of a show. "nowhere else in nature" my arse. http://www.catsofaustralia.com/bengal.htm

Re: Tigger is 14!
 

Meh, just guess the species then.

Springy tail
 

According to everyone's favourite wiki, your cat's species is Felis silvestris. Do I win a prize?
