He looks like a seal point. Which means basically that his color will continue to darken up his arms and that his creamy color will darken too into more of a tanish. It will probably start with the top of his back and then over the first few years get darker all over. He's BEAUTIFUL!!!
My Mahlee is a lilac point, rather than a blue point, the biggest differences I have noted are the point coloring on her legs are mainly just on her feet, not all the way up her arms. The pads of her feet and the skin of her nose is more of a pinkish/purple rather than a true grey (blue). The color points on her face appear to take much longer to come in and probably will not be near as dark as a blue point, while the rest of her fur will stay the light creamy color across her back, it won't turn darker like it would with a Seal point or a Blue point.
Seal point is the darker of the browns, Blue point is the dark of the blues.
"Purrcy" is absolutely precious, it brought tears to my eyes seeing his picutre of his wound...what an absolutely special, beautiful kitty, lucky you and lucky him
well, I can't help you w/name-but I must express my heartfelt gratitude that you are homing and loving this litttle one--I am sure he will live a happy, fun-filled life with you as his Mom---was thinking of the old Tv series called "the fugitive"--w/David Jannsen starring as the doc convicted of killing his wife---he claimed to have seen a one-armed man running from the crime scene---well, that was another scary senior moment for me.............
Personally, if Sully is what suits him, then you should by all means stick with the name. The last cat that I rescued went nameless for almost a month because we waited to see what his personality was.
As it turned out, we went with "Mouse" because not only does he "squeak" like a mouse, but, he is also very skittish, and will hide at the drop of a hat,:roll: and when he walks around the house, you don't hear him at all.8O
I usually wait and name my kitties according to personality. This is a brave little boy. I think he deserves a royal name, perhaps one of King Arthur's knights--- Sir Galahad, Sir Lancelot, etc. Or perhaps another character from literature.. Ivanhoe, Robin Hood, Macbeth, Valient, etc.
Someone recommended a character from Beowolf, a monster who loses his hand.....I liked the name but can't remember it now. Anyone know who I'm talking about?
Then someone else made a good point, why not have a name that focuses on the ways in which he is perfect. (instead of his missing parts)
I still like sushi because its cute and wimiscal.
He's absolutely fearless, super affectionate and very laid back (all at once! He's perfect!)
He's going in for felv/fiv testing, vaccines, etc on Monday. He has diarrhea. He's been treated for coccidia for five days now, but still have the squirts, poor guy. I hope that clears up soon. I also think he has ringworm on his ear, but I really hope I'm wrong because I've already had to deal with that once!
Anyone have any ideas for a cleaner that would kill ringworm that i can use on the bedding etc?
Tripod is the most common name for a 3 legged animal. I agree about focusing on how great he is rather than the leg, that's why I recommended Viper, but something else that focuses on what he DOES have would be great, I think.
