LONG-HAIRED CATS

LONG-HAIRED TORTOISESHELL-AND-WHITE

This breed is similar to the Tortoiseshell, with the addition of white to the red, cream and black colours. Too much white is not required, but it must be seen on the face, legs and feet, with a large amount on the chest. The colouring is spread rather like a mantle over the body, interspersed with white, there must be no tabby markings, bars or rings. The patching should be free of white hairs. Each patch must be of its own clear colour, without brindling. Should a queen always breed kittens with markings, it would be wiser from a show point of view to have her spayed, and entered in the neuter classes, of which there are many at the shows today. They make very handsome neuters and always attract the judges and the public.
As with Tortoiseshells, any male born is invariably sterile, and one of the self-coloured long-haired breeds may be used for mating, or one of the Bi-Colours. Until recently it was thought impossible to foretell what kind of kittens will arrive, but one breeder by the use of correctly-bred Bi-Colours, has managed to produce some beautiful specimens. A black and white kitten could come from a Tortie and White mother, and these are unusually exceptionally beautiful.
As with the Black Persians, polishing these cats is a great asset, for the colouring shows up with a sparkle and is greatly enhanced. Large round wide-apart eyes of deep orange or copper show up well in a good patched face, against the white in particular.
A cobby body with a full well-coloured coat and a short wide well-furnished brush is lovely to see and attracts great admiration. This breed has been brought out for best in show and has won the award on several occasions.
