Clams on the half shell, and roller skates.
Thank you. He's a 9 year old Maine Coon (so called because they were originally thought that have crossed with raccoons). He's a skinny 7 kilos and a lovely cuddle.
He went under the anaesthetic last week as his paw problem is more than just a cut. He may have to have some toes removed

Not very good lurker
I popped out in to the garden this morning which is very small and narrow. There was a black cat in front of the shed and I said 'who are you?' and it ran off to the back of the shed and then suddenly it and six other cats leapt up onto the wall and started running their separate ways. I wonder whether they were having a meeting to plot how to take over the world and I interrupted it?

Has anyone got any experience in identifying specific breeds of cats? We picked up Milo as an ex stray, so don't know anything about his history other than a rough age and a distinct lack of front teeth 
We think he might be a Bombay, although they're supposed to be fairly rare. He's got the sleek short black hair, and the black paw pads and mouth. He's also deceptively heavy for a fairly slender cat (about 7kg last time he was weighed). Now we've had him for a couple of years, he's got over most of his anxieties and his true nature appears to be coming out - friendly, curious, food orientated, extremely loud and chatty (very responsive to conversation with him), walks like a panther
Do people think he might be a Bombay? Obviously pics:
Some of the sites I've read say that Bombays more typically have yellow eyes in the USA and green in the UK, but I dunno.

I've just posted Molly's prozinc insulin and syringes on the recycle your stuff board if anyone can use it. No idea who has diabetic cats's here.

strung out - most cats do not have any breed, they aren't like dogs that have been selectively bred pretty much since domestication to make them suitable for a variety of different roles so they ended up in different breeds with different shapes and sizes. Cats became domesticated by doing the one thing they are great at - keeping pests out of granaries and homes and enjoying being stroked while they sleep during their 20 hours a day off shift 
They've only really been selectively bred for less than a century - while some of those are bred from regional genepools - as in the Siamese, or various longhaired varieties that sprung up in cooler climes, the vast majority of cats are directly descended from the original wild granary mousers that kept our ancestors' food stores safe with not a lot of human intervention in their breeding.

^ Don't think Milo is a full pedigree Bombay as they tend to be a bit rounder & cobbler in body shape and I thought that pretty deep orange eyes (often described as 'new 2p coin colour') were standard as well. His weight & nature sound a lot like my old mystery-origin cat who invited himself in to live at my Ma's as a young - who was non-feral and neutered but not chipped or collared - think he might have clambered into a van and got lost, or left a home with a new dog/baby in a huff. Vet was convinced he was a moggy-oriental hybrid of some sort. The talky nature and lanky build suggest just a good black moggy with maybe a bit of siamese or burmese in him. No matter what he's a handsome lad and you are a kind carer to take him in and let him bloom, Bombay or nay!
