Seychellois Cats

Historia i wygląd

This is fairly new breed that was created in the UK in the 1980s. The cat was created by a breeder called Patricia Turner. Turner wanted to create a breed that resembled the distinctive pattern coats of cats found in the Seychelles.

The Seychellois cat was created by crossing a Siamese with a tortie and white persian. Later on in the breeding programme Oriental cats were added and the result was a long-headed, slender cat with large ears. There are three types of Seychellois; huitiéme (with the largest colour patches), septiéme, and neuviéme (with the least colour). Today the only major cat registry to recognize the breed is the Fédération Internationale Féline.

Zachowanie i hodowla

This is a very vocal breed that has a reputation for scattiness. They are very affectionate and will love to curl up on the lap of their favourite person. This can be a demanding breed, but owning a Seychellois will be entertaining and you will have a constant companion.
