Well that Anjah seems to be a Bambino. Dewlves should additionally have curled (or folded?) ears.

Wow, I never herd of most of these breeds, and I’ve been to quite a few cat shows.
Selkirkrex, when and where is the Fort Worth cat show?

To keep up with the game, show me a Norwegian Forest cat.

Hi Auggie,
well, I didn't know the breeds either, but I did a lot of internet research on cat breeds.
Actually the one how found the pic can ask for a new breed, so it's not your turn, but never mind. Here's the Norwegian Forest Cat:

Now please show me a Blonde Havana.

THAT is definitely a Maine Coon, Maine Coon mix or Norwegian Forest Cat. Gentle Giants they call them and rightfully so.

I am so in love with Ahjah.

Actually, there is a dwelf on the site. Go to the home page and you will see an F1 (first generation) dwelf. I don't know if y'all realize it, but first generation ANYTHING that uses the sphynx hairless gene will always have hair because the hairless gene is recessive in the sphynx. 2nd generation can be hairless. (My Mora is 2nd generation and hairless as can be) With any recessive gene, both parents need to carry it in order for the kittens to express it.

Curled, not folded ears. The majority of breeders will not use the fold in a hybridization because of the lethal gene ifound n the breed.

Selkirk,

Thanks for the info! I kinda knew about the first generation thing, but didn't realize that the cat with the curl was F1. I absolutely LOVE the nekkid kids.

Could you post more pictures of your furbabies? I love looking at other's nekkid kits.

Well, I'll go on with the game. A beautiful Seychellois:

And now I'd like to see a Dwelf, if they already exist.

Quite beautiful. But... wouldn't they be termed bi-color orientals in the US?

What I'd love to see is a Pixie Bob and a Manx, I didn't see those when I was browsing the threads! :)

I attached a photo of my cat, Shadow, who is 7 years old this June. He's definitely a "Momma's Boy" and won't leave my side. He earned his name the first night I got him when he followed me around so much he actually ran into my ankles, when he was 8 weeks old. :D

Thanks! I've got a red Manx, they are the sweetest cats! I can't get over how loving and socialable they are. If I ever bought a purebred, I think I'd want a PixieBob, from everything I've ever read about them. But seeing as I have 5 cats now, it'll be many years before that will happen (3 DSH, 1 Manx & 1 tortie point Siamese).

:D

PixieBObs are gorgeous, but I imagine they're extremely expensive as most hybrid breeds. And anyway we don't have them in Europe... :(

Selkirkrex, you can ask for a new breed whenever you have posted the pic! It's your turn.
04-25-2006, 09:42 PM

Actually not too bad. $400 - $800 for pet quality and $1000 - $2500 for show quality. Ok, show quality is horrible, but pet quality price isn't too bad. Plus there is also Pixie Bob breed rescue, which would make the cost even less. Pixies are beautiful, smart cats! But seeing as I've got 5 cats, my husband doesn't want any more, nor do I really. 5 mouths are a lot to feed. ;)

Thank you for the info. If I really HAD the money I would import cats from the USA to Switzerland, but at the moment this is impossible. Maysbe somebody else will do it and there'll be kitten available in future. I really hope so!
Well, 5 cats are a lot. I got 2 cats, 1 dog, 2 horses, 21 rabbits and 2 guinea pigs to feed, every day... :eek: but I love them all. :D

I don't know that Pixiebobs are actually hybrids, and I'm certain Manx's aren't.

My favorite of the short tailed cats is the JBT, though. It's interesting that all three of these breeds get their short tail or tailessness from a different gene, too. It's amazing how the genetics of different breeds can have such an affect on them.

Actually it is suspected and believed that Pixie-Bobs are a hybrid. Carol Ann Brewer is the one who started the breed in the Pacific Northwest. For the breed history go to:

WOW, that's a lot of animals. I'd love to have that many, but I leave in a small home. If I lived on a farm, I'd have all the animals I could handle. Growing up I lived on a farm and had countless cats, 2 dogs, about 60 head of cattle and 5 horses. I loved it! :D

Hybrid of what two breeds? The article appeared to say they were developed from DSH's. Did I miss something?

Found you a nice chocolate tortie point. She's not a traditional siamese, though, so I hope that wasn't what you were looking for.

I'd like to see a Viverral.

Actually the father of the first Pixie Bob, Pixie, is widely believed to have been a cross between a DSH and a Bobcat. The owners of the DSH saw the cat and a Bobcat fighting, ran to save her and within gestation time, a litter was born that resembled the Bobcat. Carol Ann Brewer took home one of the kittens. After research, she discovered that it was fairly common in the Pacific Northwest, at least, for there to be litters that were believed to be a cross between a DSH (or other house cat) and bobcats.

Of course, she never had the DNA tested to determine if there is actually Bobcat in them, but they do strongly resemble Bobcats. Now, 21 years after the origination of the breed, there is no wild DNA in them. There wouldn't be, with it having been so long since the original 2 were bred to start the breed.

There is no "solid proof" of the bobcat heritage, but when you look at the size, shape and appearance, you can still see it.

This was a new one for me. I hadn't heard of this breed. They sort of remind me of a short haired turkish van. Quite pretty.

I'd like to see a Sokote.

I'm pretty sure that Sokoke and Sokote is the same breed. Right?

Kurilen Bobtail:

What about a Scottish Fold next, we haven't had them yet. I'd prefer a Highland Fold, if you find one. :)

What's the difference between the two?

04-28-2006, 02:26 AM

Well the Highland Fold is longhaired, that's all.

Toygers are another wonderful breed!

http://www.cat-world.com.au/images/Toyger2.jpg

Now a Turkish Angora, please.

One of my favorites, but I've always had a soft spot for black cats and long haired, non Persian cats. Don't care for the Persians just because of the face and potential for health problems.

I'd like to see a Japanese Bobtail now please.
04-28-2006, 08:32 AM

I absolutely share your opinion!

How about a Bengal? I don't think we've had one yet.

We've had it already, but I don't mind having it every day, it's a most wonderful breed! :-)

Here you are:

Now another one: The American Lynx. (Not really sure what's the difference to the American Bobtail, and the Pixibob is quite similar too)
