We have two girls aswell but I haven't got anydecent pics yet as they are never still! Hope you like them. P.S they are in summer coat on these pics.

They're beatuiful ;D
I'm sorry you lost Odin :-*
-
They are lovely. Sorry to hear about Odin - he's a stunner.
How do they differ from the British moggie?
-
Beau-yooo-tiful :love: :cat:
Looking forward to seeing the girls, and the difference between summer and winter coats?
-
Hmmmn not sure where to start with the differences between moggies and the Wegies. I will say I have both and love them equally. The Wegie has a thick double coat that just turns water and snow away, I've known Pepe sit outside in the rain and it has just settled on the top, still totally dry underneath the top fur. It doesn't tend to get matted unlike Persians fur. They have longer back legs than their front and can supposedly come down trees head first, although I've yet to see this ;D Wegies have wonderful friendly natures, good with dogs and people - not much upstairs though :)
I'll try and get some pics later of the girls..

They are gorgeous. Sorry to hear about Odin. :'(

They're gorgeous !
I've 2, 7 month old kittens with similar colours and markings as yours - but minus the long hair.
Bet the winter coat's are super warm & fluffy ;D Can't wait to see them.

;D Wegie makes them sound like they come fae Glesca :cat: :cat:
-
;)Pepe is a bit of a wide boy, so he may hail from Glesca! He is being elusive around the camera, but here are the two girls Luna mainly white with blue tabby and Amber is a blue tortie. Hope you like them.

They are lovely looking cats. All that hair coming from their ears makes me laugh :D

beautiful :love:

They are gorgeous. They remind me of the Maine Coon's I've known, all of whom have had fabulous loving, laid-back personalities.
-
Very similar, although Maines have a squarer face and also a bit heavier. Wegies are around 20lbs at their heaviest. I wanted a Maine coon but got another Wegie. We've had a few pure breds in the rescue this year :-\

Arrgggh.... temptation! But no, we are on a country lane T junction and I dare not have another cat - well, unless it's already wise about country road traffic, I guess. And the Maine coons do moult - as bad as a Labrador!
-
Funny you say that about Labradors, my two really aren't bad re moulting. My friend has two Labradoodles and they are awful. When they stay here it's like tumbleweed rolling across the floor ;D Another friend says the Wegies moult by shedding the undercoat first - like taking their knickers off and then their clothes!! Can't wait ::)
