MEEZER COLORS DAY 2011

Today is Meezer Colors Day, sponsored by

Egypt and The Musketeers from Cat Crossings.

And here's Maggy ~ an honorary meezer.

Himalayan cats are a genetic crossing of Siamese and Persian.

The Himalayan became "official" in 1957,

when recognized by the ACFA and CFA.

The mask, ears, legs and tail of a "himmie" should be a darker shade,

blending with ease into the body colors.  The primary body color should

be a pale or pastel rendering of the point color.

Maggy is a tortie-point Himalayan ~ a very dark mask, almost black,

touches of red-gold behind her ears and at her paws,

and dark browns becoming pale beige as the furs move from head to body.

Her color points are definitely from her Siamese ancestry, as are her

brilliant blue eyes.  Her cobby body and long furs reflect her Persian heritage.

Below, a collage of all her beautiful and colorful parts

and all those beautiful parts put together!

Please stop by and visit Miss Egypt and The Musketeers,
