This is a relatively new breed of cat whom owes its existence to the Siamese breed. Originally known as silver laces the breed was founded in the 1960s. These cats can come in all of the colors of the Siamese breed however, the most preferred coloration is Seal. The ideal Snowshoe has 4 white feet and a white face. This breed tends to be more mellow than the Siamese in terms of personality and activity level. They also tend the be slightly less talkative. They are just as outgoing and very docile when compared with their sometimes fiery Siamese lineage. They do best in multiple cat homes and often love to play fetch. And they have a weird affinity for running water.
