Almorr's new all white cat Loki

[AlMorr]

After the sad death of two of my cats last year I was given by a neighbour a 1 year old all white cat, his name is Loki, I understand that is a Norse name meaning mischief

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Al, he is beautiful, it's special to have a cat greet us when we come home isn't it?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Indeed Sue, this morning when I came home after running my 42nd 10K Loki greeted me with a meiow, nice 🙀

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes, very nice, and you've been out and had a good run.

[Beatlesforever Graduate]

What a cutie 🥰🥰 I miss having a cat but my dog would very much not approve! Loki is a great name. I hope he doesn't live up to it though 🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Beatlesforever]

So far Loki has not got into any mischief, how long will that last?? 😀

[Cmoi Graduate]

Cute cat AlMorr - same name as my brother's Samoyed 🐕

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Cmoi]

Loki is very cute Cmoi, at the moment he is sleeping under the couch I am sitting on, by the way I ran my 42nd 10K this morning in a time of 1:12:16, my second fastest 10K this year.

[Leotigris Graduate]

I think Loki is the Norse god of mischief! I wonder if he lives up to his name!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Leotigris]

Yes Leotigris, my daughter told me yesterday that Loki is the Norse name of mischief. 😊 ✔️so far he has behaved himself until this morning when he put his paw on my mobile phone when I was listening to a particular radio program and he changed it to another program, 😂 lol

[limberlou Graduate]

My boy is called Loki too. Great name!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to limberlou]

Indeed Limberlou, your Loki is also a beautiful cat.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate]

🍏Oh Loki doesn’t look as if butter would melt in his mouth at the moment. Very content!! Enjoy!! Part of my volunteer work is visiting people at home & I have a real love relationship with one persons cat. She always comes out to greet me & walks me to the door when I leave. If I put down a fleece or coat she’s into it!! She mak s my day!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

Loki is a very contented cat, he loves me stroking him and he greeted me this morning when I got back home after my mid week run.

[chrisl72 Graduate]

lovely cat may he bring much happiness to your household

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to chrisl72]

I am sure Loki will bring much happiness to my household, thanks chrisl72 ✔️

[Doris8 Graduate]

That was lovely of your neighbour to give you the cat. It will keep u company. Well done on your run this morning 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Doris8]

Thanks Doris8, it was a friend of my neighbours who has already got 3 cats that suggested that Loki was given to me, I enjoyed my 10K run this morning, a little practice for my first 10K event race in a few weeks time.

[Irish-John Graduate]

Erm....your neighbor wouldn't happen to be named Ernst and talk funny? 😂

Cat

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Ha ha John, I remember watching that James Bond film?? where Ernst talks funny while stroking a white cat, he says to 007 that he can watch a monitor while saying. "it's the last 'program' you will see Mr Bond" I can't just remember what that particular James Bond film was.

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

" You Only Live Twice" Al 🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Thanks John ✔️

[ToothPickJafah Graduate]

Aww he’s beautiful Al! Love the name Loki, hope he doesn’t get up to too much mischief 🤗 enjoy your bonding time with him, he looks very much at home and settled in the photo.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ToothPickJafah]

He is beautiful ToothPickJafah, glad that you like the name, so far he is bonding with me and has kept out of mischief. 😊

[PeggySusi Graduate]

Loki is lovely, and he keeps himself very clean! Our cat Stan is mostly white with patches of grey, but he always looks rather grubby..

White and grey cat

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to PeggySusi]

Not too grubby PeggySusi, both lovely 🙀 🙀 cats. 😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Just beautiful.... Loki was indeed a bit of a mischief maker !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

The original, however, my new cat Loki has been well behaved, at least so far. ✔️🙀

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Great company!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I fully agree with you Oldfloss that a pet of any discription is great company

[Mum22boys Graduate]

Love the name Loki... hope the good behaviour continues.....

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Mum22boys]

Loki was very active this morning, she actually wanted to take a bath at about 6.30 lol, however, now at 7.30 she is asleep on the sofa.

[Raisemeup Graduate]

That's a lovely looking cat Al, He seems rather special with an unusual Nordic name and a beautiful white coat. If his personality matches, I'm sure he will be good, interesting company for you. Best wishes!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Raisemeup]

Thanks Raisemeup, Loki is doing very well in his new home.

[Penwithpink Graduate]

Oh he is gorgeous and yes Loki is the Norse trickster god - I have 2 black cats River she had just turned 14 and Louie who is 10 in jan both rescue and my fur babies xxx

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Penwithpink]

👍 🙀 Loki could well be a Norse trickster soon, who knows ✔️

[Over60sRunner Graduate]

What a beautiful cat 😻Sadly, I'm allergic to them, so I can only admire from a distance.

Don't forget to put a little sunscreen on Loki's ears in summer as white animals, and especially cats, can be prone to skin cancer on their ears.

Enjoy your lovely welcomes and company 😻

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Over60sRunner]

Thanks for that advice regarding a little suncream in sunny weather.

[Gthants]

He's lovely! My youngest is feeding a neighbour's cat whilst they are away and is getting some quality time (and hugs) - highly recommended apparently!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Gthants]

🙀 Cats are "cool", my neighbours dog Holly gets on well with the cats I have had over the recent years, the cat on my profile page sadly died last November, he was 19 which is a good age for a cat.

[Wawacito Graduate]

Great that you have a cat again in your life. <3 He looks very content.

Loki is a god in Norse mythology, a shape-shifter and god of fire as well as mischief.

As a sidenote: Cats that are all white bear the risk of being deaf for genetic reasons. This risk is highest in white cats with two blue eyes. (Been active in cat rescue for 25 years, so this pops up in my mind as soon as I see a white kitty.)

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Wawacito]

IIHiThanks for that information regarding all white cats being deaf or partly deaf, Loki isn't deaf, there was a sudden noise from my next door neighbour lasting 3 seconds, I got a bit of a fright and so did Loki, so he certainly heard that short bang.

I was just thinking that Loki is actually my 5th cat, my first cat was called Topsy, she disappeared one day after I came home from a bike ride, my second cat was called Oscar, she was given to my daughter when she left school, after my daughter got married I kept Oscar until she died aged 18, Oscar is buried in my back garden.

My 3rd cat named Eeshan, he's the cat on my profile page, was given to me by my sister, I had Eeshan for about 9 years, he died last November aged 19, about six weeks after Eeshan died a neighbour asked me to take in another cat called Cooky whose owner died a few weeks earlier, I only had Cooky for six weeks, he was 19 and died in late February, so after just over 5 months without a cat, another neighbour asked me to take Loki who is one, hopefully I will have Loki a bit longer than Cooky.

[Wawacito Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you for your reply. It is great to hear that Loki can hear.

I love your cats' names. It speaks of you as a great "cat daddy" that they lived to become as old as they did. I also love that you took in Cooky. Most people would not take such an old cat. (I have 9 kitties here, all rescues and had two 18 year old hospice cats a few years ago.)

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Wawacito]

I knew that I wouldn't have Cooky for long, perhaps 6 months but it was only 6 weeks which was a little sad

[Wine]

Beautiful

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Wine]

Agree, he is beautiful ✔️🙀

[Run46 Graduate]

Oh Al, he's gorgeous and clearly settled in already.

Sorry for the loss of your cats. I too lost my Holly earlier this year. I still have Bailey at home, in fact he's purring loudly next to me as I type 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Run46]

Usually when a cat purrs the cat is very happy and contented.

[Run46 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes, my Bailey is a very happy chap, hope your Loki is too 😺

[GTFC Graduate]

Ooooooh Al! What a cracker you have there. You'll be an awesome owner for her. She'll soon know her new owner is King Al 👑

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to GTFC]

She is a cracker, this afternoon I found her sleeping in the wash hand basin in my bathroom, lol

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

She is very beautiful AlMorr - and looks as though she is settling in well! I also had to say goodbye to my beloved cat last year. We took on a rescue this year in March and it is so lovely to have a cat around again!🐈

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Correct Sandraj39 after not having a cat for around 8 months it's nice to have a 🙀 cat in the house once again. ✔️

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Oh such a beautiful cat! My mum had a white cat - a girl called Jemma. A real stay at home cat who loved to curl up on the sofa.I love cats but am very allergic unfortunately

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Loki sometimes likes to curl up beside me on the sofa but not for too long, since I got him last Tuesday he has disappeared twice, once for 1 hour, he was hiding under the sofa where I sit, I didn't realise he was there until he reappeared, the second time Loki disappeared was in Wednesday afternoon for 3 hours "somewhere in the house" ha ha I searched high and low for him in every room, underneath everything but could not find him, eventually he reappeared to eat something, I still don't know where he went to on Wednesday afternoon, anyway he hasn't disappeared since then, 🙀 cats will be 🙀 cats. 😊
