I used to be a bit meh about tabbies but there are some magnificent ones on this thread - Mistletoe and Molly just the latest examples.

Looks lovely.Say hello to Mistletoe
He came to live with us from Battersea on Friday. He's a bit scaredy still but when he does come out from behind the sofa
he is a massive softy and sits on your lap for ages
Christmas time, Mistletoe and whine.

He's getting there slowly
WHAT!!1!1!1 - you've only had him a week
We've had Clive and Casper 9 MONTHS and I'm only now just getting Clive to sit on my lap for max 5 mins
And as for Casper - trying to tempt him with hand fed HUMAN sandwich left over filling is getting to be damned hard work - I've managed max 5 stealth strokes on him in that period as well
I just want wait for the boys to settle down and become normal - but I think they'll be my charity cats

We're still undecided. We've thought of a couple of other possibles so we may well yet change it.
He's a bit of a freak in that sense I'd say
Took our last cat about 2 years before he'd sit on our laps 
) and hearing other people's experiences has really helped me to calm down about it, thanks

Sounds perfectly normal concerns to me - it was the "heart murmur" that tipped Bob into being allowed to stay with me - he was a stray who'd come in for food - he'd not been chipped - went round vets etc in the area to see if anyone had lost him - there was one potential, they came round to see if it was their cat, it wasn't, thank goodness - so he was just allowed to stay

Jakey is the only one of mine that I got as an adult, and when we got him home (after a very traumatic journey where he panicked in the carrier and broke the door off it! Had to take out my shoelaces and tie the door back in place), he went and hid under the bed for the night.
We put a bowl of food under the bed in case he got hungry and left him to it, went to bed ourselves - and when we woke up in the morning he was wedged between us purring his head off, and after that he acted like he owned the place. The only time he has hidden or shied away from attention since then is if he thinks we might be about to put him in the carrier to go to the vet.
Total time in hiding after arrival at new home - 9 hours maximum.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
Hah! I'll see your nine hours and raise you 30 days
When we moved the 3 from W-s-M to Shepton (25 odd miles) I made the (with hindsight) tad optimistic decision to ask the guys I worked with to make 2 x corrugated board cat carriers
Bob was put into the proper cat basket as he was a little "large boned" for a cardboard box
Jess was always excellent travelling so she went into a box
Leaving Rusty. The feisty, escapologist cat. Well, she went into a box and about half way through the journey was no longer in the box. Strutting around the inside of the car and ended up lying across the rear parcel shelf like a nodding head cat
Then into the "new house"
Where Bob disappeared and didn't come out for 30 days - he hid in the airing cupboard, coming out only while we were at work to eat and use his "facilities"
He's gorgeous.Say hello to Mistletoe

I had a Mistletoe, she came with the name but I always loved it.

Does anybody else's cat go through cycles where they stay in a lot and where they go out a lot ? My Alfie usually stays indoors most of the time and rarely goes out for more than an hour at a time. But this week he's started to stay out most of the time and it always throws me. Last week he once stayed out so long, I thought I'd lost him, considering that generally he likes to stay in.
Cats, they like to fuck with you it seems.

To be fair, she has good reason to be pissed off as her dignity is being somewhat compromised.
No animal species that will lick its own genitalia and then do the flehming thing sniffing its own nether regions has any moral high ground when it comes to dignity.

Mistletoe is absolutely gorgeous! I do love a tabby.
When Breeze arrived, she darted under the sofa and we thought "oh no, this will take a while." But it was just over an hour between the first and last photos below. She was just too nosy to stay hidden for long.
When we first got Radar home, he sprang out of the box and started destructicating our flat - we knew at that point we'd got a wrong'un on our hands.
