Tame Cats - Show Us Yours July 2015

Arhaeological finds show that at least 9500 years ago the cat was kept as part of the human household.

People almost all over the world have cats to help them keep the number of  mice etc at stage.
Or just to keep them compagny. Today it is the most popular pet of all.

Genetic research shows that all tame cats stem from the African Wildcat .
It even seems that only 5 females are the ancestors of all tame cats on the female side !!!!

As the "work" of the cat has turned more and more into that of a companion, people have picked out those with unusual look, and we have cats of numerous shapes, colours and fur texture, - also cats without fur !

I love cats, and am delighted to be able to open this topic , and look very much forward to see everyones collection of cat models                    

First, some of the cats from Play Vision...the one to the right is the brand "CHINA" and is a Siamese Cat

Papo is the cat-expert, but has not made very many tame cats.
However they are beautyful, - not least the Siamese cat

I am !
Kosta made a wonderful reapint for me, looking like my beloved Mumi, who passed away a couple of years ago :

The next two may not look like anything special. But to me they are !
They were given to me in the late 1950 !!! Tiny as they are, and made from rather brittle material, they have been unusually faithfull

I know that those two are the ones from my childhood, because I marked them with Mom's red nailpolish

Oooooh, look at all of them, such apretty bunsh <3

Some of them so rare...and all of them - so lovely :)
Haha..the old black and white cats....I know from you, that when you were a child, you marked your toys...to be different from the toys of other children   ..now I can see that clearly  
Thank you for sharing them with us :)

Most of my cats are sleeping, it is too hot here. You can mop me of the floor...
I told the wake ones to come with me for some photos.
They didn't want to take them on my usual photo place, but in the living room, were it is much cooler :)

So here are the ones that came with me

To show you the size of the KYD kitten, Mojo cat wanted to help :)

So, these cats wanted to show themselves. I have more cats, from Papo, Schleich and  Kaiyodo. :)

Hope to see more cat friends

Beautiful topic and cats! I will see which cats I still have, maybe only 2 from Schleich that everyone knows but I'll try to find them. Susanne, I know you will enrich a lot this topic yet but I hope everyone shows their cats and make a tribute topic to these wonderful and faithful friends.

Great models Karin !
The Kaiyodo cat is real beauty :)

Lovely cats :)

Ok, this is my veeery small team of cats :

And these two models, maybe will be interesting for you :

I`m not shure exactly, if they are original...or copies...
I have them from my childhood and I think , that maybe they are Bulgarian models (or russian..I`m not shure), becouse, it is very funny, but they are marked with them price from that time  
You can see on this photo `` 35 ст.`` which is like 0,35 euros, but on bulgarian money..or it is around 0,17 euros   .  ``ст.`` means - ``стотинки``, wich is sound : ``stotinki``, ..this is our cents

...or they are just copies, like most of the toys, which I have from that time...
If you know the original models of them, pleace share with me
Thank you :)

Karin, you chose some beautyful cats to show
Of course I love the Siames from Schleich, but the one from bullyland, - and the Mojo cat, and...they are beautyful

Four Fantastic Felines, Kosta

Papo's Siamese is the best ever of the breed, - and the AAA cat is wonderful

But your little, old cats are not only lovely.
They are very unusual and interesting.
I have never seen the price moulded into a model, - and then they are from your childhood, - could it be better ?

Thank you dear friend :)
If you remember...you have one of them ..

Oh wow Kosta! The AAA cat looks so like my precious little black feline Chii!
And those two white kitties, they look nice! Very detailed with the fur :3

I didn't recognize her sisters just because of the colour  
She is beautyful, - and now I know more about her    

While I was taking pictures of the the beautyful kitty above, I also took some of my oldest Schleich  :

The cats-with-breed , - it took me a loooong time to find them all with the yellow tag, because they were only sold with the normal Schleich colour code-tag in Denmark ;-)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Perhaps the oldest ones are these little cute "Classics" cats from '79 to 90.
The standing one was made with black spots too, - and there is a fouth one licking her fur, but both are so rare that I have only seen them in the catalogue  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The gray cat below was only made in '94 and '95, -  together with two minis      
Schleich minis were made from '64 to 2004, but I don't know if the cats were made from the beginning

I'm drooling over the Schleich full breed cats <3 AND with tags!!
The one I'm still looking for, is the one at the end left, the spotted one :3

Thank you for your comment Karin :)
Wow, more beautiful models Susanne :)
About the black cat (from me), I`m sorry that it look`s like that...I mean, it was not in perfect condition.., when I was a child...I don`t know why, but I was trying to paint her with some colors.. ....of course, she was looking funny... So, I wanted to send it to you, as un interesting model...and I repainted her for you with black paints and gold eyes... At this time, I had only this model...I didn`t know, that I have also these 2 white models in better condition. I found them after I send the first one to you, in my parents appartmnent... :)

It is very impressive your collection of Schleich breed cats! I like these small series that brands sometimes make. I think that the Birds of Prey were the most remarkable short series from the company.

interesting cats!

My cats

By the way, beautiful cats Susanne, Kosta & Karin!

Beautyful cat, Saien

Jonsey is lovely !! I have never seen him before

I love Aliens! 2nd is my favorite one but 4 is not bad, better than 3 but not than 1. Actually, I'd love to get one of these replicas of the Alien properly but they're quite expensive. I never noticed they made Ripley and that cat! It is wonderful!

Jonesy <3

Thank´s Roger! I love Alien saga too. This is the latest, 2015 E. Ripley model with cat. Alien action figure collection celebrates 35 years of the original Alien film with two versions of Ellen Ripley. This is the first version "Ripley in Nostromo Jumpsuit" and the second is "Ripley in Nostromo Spacesuit. Both versions includes also the Jonesy cat
