welcome back Abymummy.......we all missed you!

I am not even going to venture a guess on these beauties. Pointed cats are my worst. I will study the photos after the correct answers though!

When we have a bonus like this can we get a brief description of what makes each one different...ie breed or coloring.. Helps me to learn and have it stay in my pea brain

Welcome back! I'm no good at colourpoints either (probably the main reason I went for OSH rather than Siamese when choosing a kitten!) so I'm not even going to hazard a guess, but that suggestion of giving a description of the differences after the answers are given would be great, if it's not too much work for you!

Am I right in thinking that the GCCF doesn't have Javanese (in the same way they have no colourpoint shorthair) as a wider range of point colours are accepted as Balinese (and Siamese) than in the CFA? Would be grateful if someone could confirm that one way or the other, as I'm slightly confused about the whole Javanese thing!

The Javanese are to Colorpoint shorthairs are the Balinese to the Siamese...it's all about color!

Will post more about it once the bonus post has been correctly identified!

Well, the only color experience I have is with Tonks, and I think if it were a tonk, that Javanese would be a mink, not a point. But, I don't even know if any other breed does minks instaed of points, so....and I just don't even know how lilac is considered a color, to be honest. I get that lilac/blue are shades of grey, but sometimes when I look at a cat's color, I see brown, not grey. It baffles me. Anyway, that's my pitiful and I'm sure, incorrect offering.


(just in case I wasn't clear in that rambling...) I'm going to offer mink instead of point on the Javanese.

Your answer immediately prior to this one was more correct, you have 2 wrong in this one and only one in the last answer!

Did that make any sense???
