Tom's mum's brother Brancker (named after Johnny Madrid's horse) was all black, we had them both from kittens and Brancker was soooo lazy.
In 1976 I had a black kitten called Timendamus (names after Tim Matheson) and he was very skinny,not like a tomcat at all.
the first Rackel I had was in 1970, she was a beautiful cat, white with orange and black markings. like Tom's mum Rackel, which is why she was named Rackel!
I've only had one tabby, Lenny, he was long haired and very tetchy, but he was a stray someone left at the farm one night, that was 1977, we had lots of barnyard cats, all ferrell, they were usually tabby or 'barred' as my mum called them.
