3426.0. "CFA CAT BOOK/WISH BOOK" by SMEGIT::ROSSI () Thu Mar 15 1990 12:41

    Just received my CFA book for 1989-1990 the other day.  Its wonderful!!
    I have really been enjoying leafing through all the georgous pictures.
    If anyone is interested I do have an extra order blank for the book it
    costs around $27.00  If anyone would like to have a copy for themselves
    you can call me at DTN 264-1054.
    
    Have a few questions after reviewing the many pages of pictures of
    Persians and Himmy's.
    
    Do some Persians have blue eyes?  I thought the blue eyes were linked
    only with the colorpoints/Himmy's?  
    
    I am aware that some of the silver and white Persians have green eyes.
    Is it true that when the eyes are green that they should be bred only
    to cats with similar eye color?
    
    What about having both, one green eye and one blue?  I did see some
    with that combination and apparently it is perfectly acceptable because
    they were in the book.
    
    Regarding paw pads is it true that Persians have dark pads and himmy's
    have pink, Or does it differ depending on the color of the cat? 
    
    Cin, I must say I did fall in love with the exotic shorthairs their
    beautiful.
    
    Anyone out their familiar with and can provide any info on the
    Brittish Blues?  Seems to be my dad's favorite after reviewing the
    book.  Don't hear much about them any info will be much appreciated.

	White Persians can have blue eyes, copper eyes, or odd eyes (one blue and one copper). One blue eye and one green eye are not allowed in white persians. Silver Persians (chinchilla, shadeds, and silver tabbies) come with green eyes. Silvers are not allowed any other eye color in CFA. Blue eyes are linked to the siamese gene, but there is also another gene that carries the blue eye color. That is the white spotting factor. Paw pad colors depend on the color of the cat. Silvers usually have dark paw pads, whites have pink paw pads, Himmy's would have dark ones, I would think. Birmans are allowed to have either pink or dark, or pink spotted with dark, since they are considered to be a particolor of sorts. We breeders prefer pink though. Jo
3426.3	They are close to being sold out	WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO	set home/cat_max=infinity	`Thu Mar 15 1990 12:58`	7
	If anyone is interested in ordering the 89-90 CFA yearbook now, you can call (201)531-2390 and charge it to your Visa or Mastercard. They have only a limited supply left, so this might be a good idea. The cost is $27.95 and includes shipping via UPS. Jo
3426.4		FSHQA1::RKAGNO	A Cat Makes a Purrfect Friend	`Thu Mar 15 1990 13:13`	13
	I received the yearbook a few weeks ago... and still can't put it down! It is wonderful!! Every single photo in there is one to be admired. I could look at cat pictures forever -- my husband thinks I'm nuts -- but it is one of my favorite pasttimes. There are some very good stories and articles in the yearbook as well. The story of the Cat of the Year is terrific... you can feel the owner's excitement jumping out at you from the pages. If you are a true lover of cats and love to ponder over the various breeds, I highly recommend investing in the yearbook. It is definitely money well spent.
3426.5	Pink nose, pink toes	TPMARY::TAMIR	ACMS design while-u-wait	`Thu Mar 15 1990 14:00`	14
	Jo, As for Himmies having dark toes, Chauncey wants you to know that his nose and his toes are a lovely pink, with just a shading of peach to them. They complement his glacial white fur with cream points. Honey, on the other hand has the darkest of noses and toes to match his seal points. Where do all these colours come from? My little feral Robin is mostly white with a few black patches, but has a black nose and black toes popping out of that white fur. She's so cute... I guess I better stay away from the yearbook....the inn is full!! Mary

	The himmys are like birmans, their paw pads and nose leather will match whatever point color they have. Flame points will have pink, seals will have seal, blues will have blue, etc. It would be weird to see a flame point himmy with seal nose leather! Jo
