Here it goes:
Last week or so, another of our beloved Yorkies (Fatboy) died. I walked in the barn to retrieve the shovel, post hole bar and a rake to dig the grave. While walking around a pile of lumber, I noticed these three kittens sneaking behind it. Two were fuzzy black and the third was this kitten I have pictured--looks like a pureblood Himalayan. Anyway, I reached down and snagged it real quick, got scratched a bit, and went in the house to show mom. She says," Where did that come from?" I says, "In the barn". She says,"Go lie to someone else". I says, "I'm not in a good mood because of Fatboy and life is too short to lie, especially to a crazy Italian."
My wife and her family are dairy farmers (used to be) and have seen all kinds of animals. They claim I'm a liar as the cat looks too pureblooded to be a "barn cat" and that I probably purchased it at a pet store. I tell them I would not waste $2 on any stinkin' cat as I don't care for cats and we already have a million of those bird eaters floating around. I say that the cat is nasty which is typical of barn/wild cats. The cat is fine now--only takes a day or two for them to become domesticated.
By the way, this kitten is already costing me a small fortune in Fancy Feast catfood and other grooming shampoos, etc.
So.............my question is--------- can a pureblood look-a-like come from a black mother and a roaming Himalayan father? Remember, the other two kittens were fuzzy, but black. ------------------Sixgun
Not the mother
Whoops!! (my true love)
