I would love her but do not think she would appreciate being posted to Sweden

Have never heard of de-clawing.
Do they rip them out so they can not grow?

she is a real beauty kim. Whoever gets her will be very lucky.

You can read some facts on declawing

here http://www.declawing.com/

Thanks Chrisanne ... She is definitely making herself at home here though

Well I am very happy to have lived and are now living in countries that do not allow it to be done.

Kim!

She's Gerona's twin!

You could list her as a "Russian White mix." That's what I have Gerona as.

Gerona looks exactly like the Russian White cat and even had the little grey spots on her head as a baby that disappeared as she got older.

I would love to have her live with us. I'm a softie for Gerona look-alikes.

But, I don't know how she'd handle the dogs.

Seamus wouldn't be a problem since he backs off when I tell him no or the kitty slaps or hisses at him. But Kirby LOVES to sniff and nose bump new kitties and hissing just encourages him more. Of course, it wouldn't matter if she did have front claws since Kirby wouldn't feel her scratching him through all that fur he has.

You'll certainly have to keep us posted on that beautiful girl.

Rowan love the links thanks

But ya know she doesn't have the face like a Russian

I've noticed in several of the photo's they all appear to have the long looking face, and I've also noticed with the turkish angora's they appear to have more of the "poofie" tail where she doesn't.... I honestly don't believe these people or their current vet's knew what she was

Will definitely keep ya updated on how she is doing....We were going to call her "Ellie" but now I think she needs a more proper name, as she is a very proper kitty

hey kim-
how about Madame Elowise? (kind of the same thing - but proper!)

pihlaja · #26 02-14-2005, 06:37 AM

I would call her Lumi or Talvi (Snow / Winter in Finnish). Lumi has a very soft, elegant feel to it.

Lumi also makes me think of the English word luminescent. But, that's me.

I'm sure a fitting name will come along!

Until then she can be Gerona the Second.

Rowan...your so silly...... and Jane too cute!!

natasha elise · #28 02-14-2005, 09:05 PM

And does Gerona mean something in Finnish?

No. It is a town in Spain, though.

Gerona got her name because when she was a baby, I thought she was a boy and called her Geronimo. Well, I found out she was a girl and didn't want to give her a complex, so she became Gerona.
