She''s beautiful! What is a Snowshoe?

 

[Giada]

Thanks you guys! She is such a sweetie and has such a great personality. It''s funny that she does actually blend right in with the couch and cushions (and she chooses to nap there often). Perhaps she''s trying to camouflage herself so the dog will leave her alone. ; - )

[Tacori E-ring]

She's beautiful! What is a Snowshoe?

A Snowshoe is a Siamese bred with a Bicolor (black and white, usually) domestic short hair. They have the pointed coloring of a Siamese, but always have white feet or "boots" of the dsh...hence the name "Snowshoe". I've always loved Snowshoes and was so happy when I saw Mina at our local animal shelter.

ETA- Here is a Wikipedia article about Snowshoes...much more informative and accurate than my description above:

She is scrumptious and so loving.

Hah! My thoughts exactly. I was thinking what a beautiful accessory she was! I''ve never seen a cat with those markings. Very beautiful!

Oh BABY! She''s a love!!! What a beautiful cat.

 

[isaku5]

Oh, she''a a beautiful kitty!! I had never heard of Snowshoe cats either so clicked on your Wiki link and informed myself a little. They sound like the perfect breed --very affectionate, sleek and beautiful.

Congratulations to you for giving little Mina a loving, forever home.
