Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

strange markings on cat
Hey everyone. I recently got a kitten that has unique markings on it. It's zebra striped with gray and black like many cats are, but then it has these bright reddish-brown swirls on both sides and a white tummy. I'll try to get some pictures of it (not a tame cat) but i'm curious to know what breed I have. The lady I got it from has Himalayans and ragdolls, could this be a mix of the two?

With the swirls it sounds like it could be a tortishell color? How about those pictures of the kitty? I love kitties.

The color patern you are discribing is something that I'm starting to see a lot of with ferral cats in my area. I think it's a calico gene being expressed with a tabby gene causing orange spotting on tabby's. It's a very pretty coloration, but I have a feeling that it's caused by inbreeding...

Layna, it sounds like you're describing what is known in the show ring as a torbie or brown patched tabby. It's not really due to inbreeding, just the combination of the tabby gene with a tortiseshell cat.

There are no torties around where I live... There are only solid grays, tabbies, black and whites, and normal calico's. Also, the cats I'm talking about do not reseble torties in the least. There are about 3 of these cats I described, I think they all came from the same litter as well. They look like tabbies, but have the orange spotting of a calico on them. I have never seen any cat with this coloring... They aren't very tame, so I don't know if I can get a photo, but I sure will try.
