I am going to butt in here. We did not have a winner yesterday which is rare. We have never had two days in a row with no winner. Remember, according to the guidelines, the answer provided by The Cat Site must be used. You cannot submit a second answer but you can pm me with where you got your answer on The Cat Site. I know that all of the questions now are googleproof, but this one is in black and white on The Cat Site.Originally Posted by Persi & Alley
This is my beloved boy, Persi. This is the way he always sits around the house! According to the CFA, his breed is ______________. The CFA recognizes _____(number)_______ different color points for this cat.
You got it! Way to go, Robert!Originally Posted by RobertM
This is my beloved boy, Persi. This is the way he always sits around the house! According to the CFA, his breed is Persian. The CFA recognizes 15 different color points for this cat.
Robert, I'll explain that one, since I'm the author of said article on Himmies here at TCS.....it's about three years old, and I'm sure that some other colors are now being recognised that were not standard colorpoints when I wrote it.Originally Posted by RobertM
Just to add to the confusion (or at least my confusion; honestly I know next to nothing about this subject, my correct answer notwithstanding):
At the CFA website, this page which concerns the Persian breed standard lists several more Himalayan Division Colors towards the bottom of the page that are not mentioned in the TCS page on Himalayans that P&A referenced. There are 21 colors at the CFA site but only 15 here.
I'm sure there's a logical reason for this, and for my own edification I'd appreciate it if someone would explain. I tried to compare the two lists but my head started spinning with all of the chocolate this and lynx that and so on and so forth!

Let me see if I can explain it clearly for you....Originally Posted by KittenKrazy

The rules state that the answer must reside on The Cat Site or a link provided by The Cat Site. I am glad that you agree Robert should have got the points. I have had to pass out double points before and with the new interest payments, KatKwiz cannot afford to do that!Originally Posted by Abymummy
The fact is that you referred to CFA...If you had referred to TCS only then the answer would've been different hmmm? My interpretation of your question would be go check CFA not TCS.
I would still have given points to Robert M.
