Find that cat *breed*

[Miss Z]

Heehee, now you're reading my mind, I was going to post a Ural Rex next!



A Minskin next

[Xaja]

That's fun... :-)

Minskin:



Now I'm looking for a Highlander.

[Miss Z]

Next a Kashmir, hope we haven't had them already

[Xaja]

Now I'm confused, I call British Shorthairs with long fur "Highlanders" while a Scottish Fold with long fur is a Highland Fold. The one you showed is a Highland Fold. How do you call these breeds?

And now the Kashmir:
Messybeast.com says: Persian cat in chocolate or lavender (lilac) colors introduced via crossing with colorpoint cats/Himalyans. An alternate name used for the chocolate and lilac longhairs imported from England.

While Cashmere, you pronounce it the same way, is:
Semi-longhair Bengal with conformation and colour identical to Bengal. Bred internationally in Europe, UK and US. Derived from only Bengal to Bengal breedings using cats that carry the recessive longhair gene introduced in early corsses of Asian Leopard Cat and domestic cats when founding the Bengal. See also: Pardino


So is this now a Kashmir?



And I'd like to see a Pardino. :-) Think they're too cute.

[Miss Z]

Yes, you have the Kashmir right

I was a little confused about the highlander thing too. When I typed it into a search engine, it came up with that Highland Fold. I'd never heard of a 'highlander' cat and presumed that you meant a Highland Fold. LOL we've confused ourselves!

I think that we call what you would call a Highlander a British Longhair. Therefore, is this what you're looking for?


Hopefully I have the right cat this time! Here's the pardino:

Next a Viverral Cat

[Xaja]

Well, I think that's how it is with those British and Highlands...
The one you posted, a shaded one, looks just like a Tiffanie (one of my favs). It's very cute, and the Pardino too.

I thought about the Viverral as well, but wasn't sure whether it is already a breed.

That's the only acceptable pic I found, and I'm not sure if it's a Viverral or a wild Fishing Cat.



Now try to find an Abyssinian Bobtail! I myself couldn't find any.

[Miss Z]

Ack, I can't seem to find a pic anywhere. There must be someone out there who has a pic of an abyssinian bobtail! But I unfortunately couldn't find one.

Would it be OK to move onto the next breed? If so, I'd like to see a Gao Taem.

Oh, so this post isn't 'catless', I've put a pic of my beautiful British Blue Spot, Zsa-Zsa, on here. I don't think we've had British Blue on this thread yet

I was a little confused about the highlander thing too. When I typed it into a search engine, it came up with that Highland Fold. I'd never heard of a 'highlander' cat and presumed that you meant a Highland Fold. LOL we've confused ourselves!

Please go to http://www.highlanderbreeders.com/ to see the real deal <g> It's the breed site and has a lot of pictures and info about the highlander breed - a truly unique and special breed!!

[selkirkrex]

Where I come from, a Kashmir is a solid lilac or chocolate persian... the photo posted on the thread for kashmir appears to be a traditional seal point himalayan.

[Xaja]

Ah, thank you for the info!

And how is going to find the Nanus Rex?

[selkirkrex]

A curled eared munchkin is called a kinkalow. I'm sure I saw a photo not long ago of it, but will have to locate it again. I also have a pic of a nanus rex or as some are now calling it, a Lambkin. I have my first litter of this breed due to be born in a week or so.

[moosmom]

A curled eared munchkin can either be a mix of Munchkin/American Curl or Munchkin/Scottish Fold.

Never heard of a Nanus Rex. I've seen a Cornish Rex and Devon Rex.

In either case, good luck getting the CFA or TICA to recognize the breeds.

We rescued a bunch of kittens that some other whacko breeder decided to play God with. They were trying to create a new breed called Munchkines, a cross between a Munchkin and a Siamese. What a freaking mess those kittens were. All of them had all SORTS of health problems and had to be humanely euthanized. That and the fact that 2 of my 4 cats, who are purebreds, came from BAD breeders, is the reason why I cannot STAND breeders!!
