Hi there We are planning a 6 month trip around the world and have 2 very cute cats who, at the moment, we can't find a home for. We were wondering if there was some kindly soul - preferably in the south London area - who would be willing to look after them while we are away. We will of course...

I've followed this debate in many threads across several groups, and there is one point I have not seen raised. 30 years ago I was coming home from my night job at 4 AM and while walking in the street (NYC) a dozen blocks from my home, I came across a really friendly orange tabby.

Hi all, Does anybody have a copy of the "The Russian Blue Cat" book by Ingeborg Urcia that they are willing to give away for money (i.e. sell :)? I know that it's kind of unlikely because if you do have the book then you are probably a Russian Blue fan, and then chances of you selling it out are...
