The black and white is Pepe, he came into our rescue and we ended up adopting him! Odin was sadly knocked down a month ago. He was my baby, still miss him so much. 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 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'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.

 ;)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

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!
