You find the darnedest things on rides

On a Sunday ride with my daughter, along the Lafayette bike trail…barely 4 weeks old.

I’ve got poison oak over half my body from chasing this little critter down. It’s worth every scratch. We’re thinking of calling him Velo.

Cute! And I don’t like cats (officially :slight_smile: )

That looks like a Ragdoll breed. We have one, Dash, just over a year old. They are the best cats around… super sweet natured.

That is a very cute Birman - congratulations!

Velo - perfect.

Oh my God. That is a fine cat. Awesome.

Good name and good on you!

Very cute! I’d call him “Cmere you little !#@$!!!” :smiley:

Or Aloe Vera.

That is funny. When I initially read your post, I thought “this person doesn’t know what they are talking about. That is a Ragdoll if I have ever seen one.” So I looked up the Birman and I really can’t tell the diffrence between the two in pictures.

Either way, beautiful kitten!

Simply adorable. More photos please :slight_smile:

We have a Birman who looked very much like Velo ten years ago !

BTW - we have heard so many good things about the Ragdoll that we hope that one of those guys chooses us to live together with soon :slight_smile:

Velo was probably trying to catch these little buggers I saw on my trail run last week…

I found my cat when I was on a run! he was about that size too.

Named him spiderman and I was never a cat guy before I found him.

Cute . . . but why bother with a name? Cats never come when they’re called anyway . . .

“Cats never come when they’re called anyway . . .”

Nope - most def not true !

You obviously don’t give your cat leftover fish from dinner.

edit: Damnit, now I want a cat, but I couldn’t be more allergic.

I figgered you’d like this post. :wink:

We posted signs in the area where we found him and crossed our fingers for a week that no one would call.

Sure you could. You could swell up like a balloon by looking at a picture of a cat… ;-)~

I thought Ragdolls had white paws. Face not flat enough to be a Himalayan. I don’t see enough Burmans to know for sure.
So I’ll sound like a snotty know-it-all veterinarian BUT: This kitten can LOOK like a purebred but could VERY easily be a mixed-- phenotype vs genotype. It could be a Domestic Medium Hair (DMH) (= mixed breed) with genes for dark points and blue eyes.

NONETHELESS :slight_smile: I bet he will be a very nice kitty and lucky to have a home rather than be road-kill.

I found a tiny tabby/white DSH kitten on Avery Drive in Tulsa and found him a home. Called him Avery. He is SUPER lucky to not have been squished. He was at a busy intersection, perhaps just dumped minutes prior to my finding him!

Not all… the “mitted” variety has white paws. We have a mitted seal point for example.

Ah. Thanks for info!
