LONG-HAIRED CATS
LONG-HAIRED BI-COLOURED
Cats with two-coloured coats were among the exhibits at the
earliest cat shows, the black and whites being referred to
as Magpies. They have now been granted recognition. The males
will be most useful as studs for the female-only breeds, e.g.
the Tortoiseshells and Tortie-and-whites.
