Look at your cat and check to see if it has a light brownish white coat like a seal point. A Snowshoe has bright blue eyes as well as a black face and a white patch on its chin. The face is more square than a Siamese cat, it has a white chest and white on its paws. My first experienc seeing a snowshoe was at Petsmart, a pet store. Before that I didn't even know the breed existed. Faith -- posted by seranade » ms100octane - would like to learn about siamese snowshoe cats Hello to everyone, my b/f and I just adopted a 4 year old Siamese snowshoe from or local pound. We were unaware of what type of breed he was until we took him to the vet for a check up the day after we got him, and one of the nurses told us he is a Siamese snowshoe. So, having never heard of this type of cat breed before, I am looking for information on them. We named our cat Tyler, and he is the sweetest thing ever, and we all love him to pieces. He is very mellow, laid back, and does what he wants to do when he wants to do it. He has a very loving personality, and gets lonely when we leave him alone for to long. I am just wondering if this is normal for this type of breed?? Also, my family will be moving soon, and my in-laws have yorkies, anybody have suggestions on how to slowly get Tyler used to the Yorkies?? Thanks for reading this...ms100octane-- posted by ms100octane » seranade - Re: would like to learn about siamese snowshoe cats Siamese cats are very attached to their owners. This is normal for this type of cat to be lonely when left too long. My cat Chester sits with us at the table when we eat in his chair. I don't know much about yorkies. But as a kid I have owned Siamese cats and a Poodle at the same time. They got along fine. You might want to consult your vet about Yorkies geting along with SiamesesThanks for reading my article.

Most Siamese, including Snowshoes, will do better with another companion animal in the home. In fact, studies have shown that two cats will live longer, cost less in vet bills, than one bored, lonely, and (usually) overweight solo kitty. In the case of Siamese and Snowshoes, this is especially true! You might check with the shelter where you adopted your snowshoe to see if he was social with other cats, and get him a friend. This way, you have two happy faces greeting you when you get home, instead of one sad lonely boy. -- posted by nycsiamese » Ganymedestx - Snowshoe cats I am the person who took over where Vikki Olander left off with the Snowshoe cat and was the person responsible for getting enough other people interested in the breed to get them recognized in CFF, ACFA and TICA. Maia joined our efforts in the early 1980's and was part of the cross-country entourage that traveled to our first TICA show. She and I struggled trying to get enough constant breeders to meet the CFA requirements for championship. I finally had to drop out of the show circuit in 1989 due to work constraints, but continued working with the breed until 1995. (Yes, I was also playing the politics of the cat fancy by becoming a master clerk in both CFF and CFA, and a clerk in ACFA and TICA, woking on getting the judges interested in the breed.)One change that should be made in your description.....the face is not more "square" than a Siamese.....it is "broader", an equilateral triangle in shape is the way we first described it in the CFF standards. I finally dropped out of the program in 1995, when I decided to leave Ohio for my new homeland of St. Croix US Virgin Islands. For some reason this evening, I started doing a search on the breed to see what was happening with it, and came across this site. Good luck to those still working with keeping the breed alive, although I'm not happy with colorpoints being added in TICA......I fought aganist that the whole time we were working on the TICA standard. James A. Hoffman, LMT btw, mother nature has been producing the Snowshow for many decades, long before we officially named the breed in the early 1960's and began the active promotion of it in 1977. That is why you find them all the time in animal shelters. The problem for breeders is the control of the white spotting factors (yes, according to one geneticist we worked with, we were dealing with 3 different factors) to keep the white within the strict spotting standards of the breed. -- posted by Ganymedestx » seranade - Snowshoe cats Thanks for reading my articleFaith Antonioni, Seranade -- posted by seranade « Previous 1 2 Next » Please follow the guidelines set forth in the Suite101 Posting Etiquette when adding to the discussion. |
