Mosby "The Gray Ghost"

Uploaded: December 15, 2012

Description

Mosby is one of our rescue cats we found abandoned at less than 4 weeks and had to be bottle fed for a while. As he grew he was very fast and could hide easily so he was named Mosby after John Singleton Mosby the civil war "Gray Ghost". Later we would learn he was a rare breed, a Korat. With all our other indoor cats he still runs, hides and attacks from a stealth mode and keeps true to his name. He would prefer to be an only cat and is very affectionate.

We had a cat that would stealth attack us all the time! We took our lives in our hands if we walked down an unlit hallway at night! She was so much fun! #10465599

Emile, not only is Mosby the cat a handsome devil, but your description of his namesake so intrigued me I had to look up the "Grey Ghost" of the Civil War. Fascinating reading! You learn so much through this site!

Seems like Mosby is doing his Christmas list. A super shot of the beautiful cat, Emile! Korat- my new word for today. #10466761

I thought he was a Korat. He is so beautiful, Emile! #10466789

Mosby looks very much like the kitten my friend adopted from a litter of feral cats born to one he had been feeding. I said the kitten's fur looked the color of PEWTER...and PEWTER became his name. Pewter made a cat lover of me!

So this Mosby makes me SMILE! #10466897
