I've also discovered that our old cat resembled a Havana Brown (though he was quite large so probably a cross) http://kittentoob.com/cat-breeds/cat-breed-of-the-day-havana-brown/ <br />We rescued a group of three cats of various ages and they all had oriental breeding of some sort- Ebony the female (a black panther like George!) would 'talk' to us if we mewed at her. My current cats are much less conversational.NicolaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542310810409358114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388623297510187244.post-7094814426932350952016-02-09T17:09:30.060+00:002016-02-09T17:09:30.060+00:00I'm glad I'm not alone with the counterpro...I'm glad I'm not alone with the counterproductive guilt!<br /><br />Thanks for the cat breed ID, both of you. I think of George as a little black panther, and looking up the breed, that's exactly what the breeder was aiming for when she bred the Bombay Black (though I'm sure panthers have smaller ears!) I've always liked the vocal oriental breeds.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619866897155085499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388623297510187244.post-77641532825214908212016-02-09T13:46:20.206+00:002016-02-09T13:46:20.206+00:00Guilty hand up!

I am a life-long procrastinator and, the longer I leave it undone, the guiltier I feel and the longer it is guaranteed to be left undone! <br /><br />Good call NicolaB on George, I think. He looks like a classic Bombay Black, a breed categorised as a "Burmese type".

Often I find the tasks I have been avoiding are much less scary and time consuming than I expected. Plus I get to stop feeling guilty!<br /><br />George had magnificent ears- and his face looks like one of my old cats who was some sort of Burmese cross (we guessed).NicolaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542310810409358114noreply@blogger.com
