Sadly people like that do exist!

I remember years ago there was an advert in our local free paper for Snowshoe kittens. Now this was years before Snowshoes were ever imported into this country, but were appearing in cat books, so I rang the woman up and asked if she was sure they were Snowshoes? Her answer was that she had mated her Siamese (pet quality) male cat to her female and the kittens looked just like the Snowshoes in her cat book! So she'd decided that's what they were??

Thanks!!

Trust a vet to c*ck things up. (no offence Debbie if you read this! )

You are aware my previous post was in response to Shell's and not yours as we cross posted.

i agree, a nice cat is a nice cat, irrelevant of wether it has pedigree papers or not.

i really miss my mogg`s its just too dangerous to have outdoor cats where i am at the mo.
