Thanks for posting - that was really interesting! We are currently working on the BREED STANDARD for the Bahraini Dilmun, in order to get them registered as a breed, and we have noticed without fail that all the PIEBALD cats (of varying degrees) ALL have some VAN markings on their face (like Ally)

As a matter of fact, one of the authorities here in Bahrain wanted to know if Ally was available for breeding - of course she is not, as she is spayed, but I took it as a huge compliment, as this guy sees hundreds of Dilmuns!
