Poll question: Best DU cat ever
Best DU cat, ever. Oh this will possibly hurt. You all know my selections, but really with all the great DU cats, it was a close call . . . I'm not even going to include my beloved choices at this time. So many great DU cats!


Please kick this thread by disagreeing with my choices and especially for adding others.

3. OMG! Squink is...surprised? Big Tommy is zen-like.
I love that picture! Are those your kitties? I once had a black cat and a white cat and a black dog and a white dog!

6. Squink is a bit intimidated, but he's trying hard not to show it.
Such bravado. All eyes and spindly legs. His Halloween cat pose was so funny. He looked like a little black spider.

Tommy is a mellow cat. I've just realized he's deaf. I thought he was just ignoring me. Tom has a very serene demeanor.

He's only a year old, but he's getting huge. Very muscular. He was as a kitten too.

13. I have a deaf kitty too. She went deaf over a period of 7 years.
Tommy must have 2 blue eyes. It's a geentic flaw in those type of cats. I had a white cat with a blue eye and a green eye. He wasn't deaf.

My Tabitha kitty always cocked her head as a kitten. We didn't realize that she was totally deaf until last year. She and we speak in kitty and human sign language!

Squink is just too cute! Give him a big kiss from CB and her three kitties!

16. Yeah, he has two blue eyes
I think Tommy has recently moved into deafness. I think he used to hear. That makes me sad.

I just lost another white kitty. She had one green eye and one blue eye and she could hear. It didn't help her dodge the car that got her though.

I've started to do sign language with Tommy but he just looks at me like I'm stupid.

Squink is the runt of the litter, but he is also the bold adventurer of the bunch.

37. Have you considered keeping Tommy indoors for his own safety?
I would think that deafness in an outdoor cat could be dangerous.

14. Squink gets my vote! Or maybe the cat in my sig
Sorry to hear Tom is deaf, but he probably ignores you anyway.

19. I'm not a cat person. I prefer dogs.
But if I ever do get a cat, it would be one like Oberon.

21. Well no one noticed that I didn't include my own kitties
in this thread. But here are my choices:

Pad Thai, the intrepid Siamese panther:



Lily, the golden bellied Abby:

40. i wondered if that was an Abby.
Mrs. V. used to have one. I've heard they're extremely affectionate.

BTW, I noticed you didn't include your kids. ;)

22. Quinn will probably eat my eyeballs as I sleep, but I voted for Oberon
:).

If you'd said best kitten, I would've voted for Quinn, but Oberon is simply magnificent :)

That said, I still love my Quinn and wouldn't part with him for anything :).

24. I probably should have specified
that you couldn't vote for your own cat, that's why I left my own off the list. I voted for Maggie Mae cause she's such a sweet little tabby.

30. I voted Oberon
He is one cool cat. I believe that Milo is part Maine Coon also



that is when he was only 6 months old.



now at 8 months old.

35. well, I have to say it's Oberon. I have a shot of him in my
Webshots slide show after all. But what a wonderful list of choices. I considered voting for my 'second fave' because I knew Obie would win anyway but picking a second ended up in about a 7 way tie. So that did not work either.

We have such a fabulous assortment of cats ...and I could not even pick one of my own to promote!!!!LOL

maybe it should be like this:

Bertha's Kats
Lorien's Cats
etc!!!

LOL
