where on earth did they come up with the name "snowshoe cat"? It's a chocolate point Siamese. I bred siamese for years including Zeus who went to World Champion in Russia and Taj Mahal who won Cat of the Year as well as Australian and Queensland double grand champion. Hence my breeder's name "gamiry".

Definitely a Chocolate Point Siamese, but I am intrigued with the white marking on Pita's nose!

Question for @gamiry if you dont mind , as a breeder you would know if there is actually a recognised breed called Himalayan Siamese when my husband purchased my cat for a gift he was told that he was a Lilac (pale grey )point Himalayan Siamese hence the long white coat similar to a Persian cat which is what I had wanted it was a few years ago so no on-line sale he came from a Breeder apparently or so my then husband told me.

hello dear friend, if ever you have questions you are always welcome to ask. I haven't been breeding for a few years but I was always the judge's assistant showing off the cats to always look their best. While I worked these two breeds were two separated and judged as such. It's hard to pick breed from a photo of the fur but you may have seen Veggipatche's reply too. I wonder who the breeder was. Did you get any paperwork with your angel? Veggi and I both picked a chockie point as a lilac is usually a lighter colour. Whatever Gaena love and enjoy while you can as I now live in a flat in Bundaberg and not allowed animals. Thankfully they can't take my fish away. Thank you for your question and have a wonderful, cuddly day

Sorry to hear that you can no longer breed your beautiful Cats, somehow pet Fish do not compare with a cats soft paws against your cheek❤️ Thank you for your reply, even though it looks as if The Himalayan Siamese is not a recognised breed in Australia the story is completely different in the USA where they are highly regarded and very popular according to a couple of websites I checked out yesterday, unfortunately my baby passed away a few years ago and I have been unable to replace him, no my previous husband did not think to enquire about pedigree for him so no papers were received and even if we were still in contact with each other (which we are definetly not) I very much doubt he would even be honest about were he purchased him from but I will never forget my first meeting with him, just a little bundle of pale grey and white fur curled into my hand with stunning bright purple/ blue eyes peering at me I could write a book about him and how much he meant to us, he was an adorable mercurial character that was well loved by everyone we knew and so impossible to replace.💔

So sorry you have lost your little mate. I love my fish because I grew up on the Hawkesbury River and my birth sign is Pisces. You have to love the Americans... if they don't like it.. change it, hence two breeds stuck together makes for happy people. No matter the name, Pita (Peter) was still a beautiful, loving friend so why worry. xx
