Defee-- Im not sure if Smokey is a Russian Blue... Well it started out by a stray cat come to our house and was drinking water on the deck for our doggies outside.. So we kept the stray cat and named her Shadow.. Then it turned out that she had babies!

We didnt know.. But we still kept her anyway.. She had six babies.. I had 7 cats then... I had Bubba (old cat of mom's died from stomach cancer in '98), Shadow (mother of babies!!) Then five kittens named Smokey, Friendly (ran away in '02), Curly (died in '95 while stuck in the garage...it was an accident.. she got stuck there while we opened up the garage.. there was no blood or anything but she broke a lot of bones.. it was sad...), Mike (ran away when kitten), and a premature kitten died anyway..

So thats why I dont know what kind of cat Smokey is.. I have no idea what Shadow's father was and what kind she was..
Liebling-- Thats just a cute story that you put in.. Thats sad that you had a great dane and put her to sleep.. I would keep her, I dont care about having babies to much! Sounds like you have a real cute cat right now! Stuart (my orange kitty) does that.. when we are eating at the table he puts his paws on my leg and goes "merroooww"

I give it to him anyway.. Hes starting to get fat now because of me... heheh.. I cant resist..
