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,
Miss Midnight, Maxie and Tuxie
at Cat Crossings today and help celebrate Meezer Colors Day 2011.
PS ~ other Meezers celebrating today are Sammy, Miles,
Nicky, Billy, Caroline, Fiona, Sabrina, Sam and Simon,
Cheysuli, Junior, Sparkle,
and Friends FurEver.

  2. Maggy is such a stunning, gorgeous girl=we adore her lovely colors, awesome floof and exquisite blue eyes!...Once again, our Mommy scheduled ahead and when she realized it was Meezer Colors Day for the blogs last night (she was confused about submitting a photo vs putting one on the blog), she was just too tired to change things around=we think she needs more cat naps and a new brain sometimes, but she claims she has always "been different" and she is just continuing the tradition???...We think we need a new secretary=ZH, would you be up for her job??...Kisses, sweet friends...Calle, Halle, Sukki
