History of Mandalay Cat
The breed of Mandalay cat surprises and fascinates the New
Zealand breed at first sight. The history of the appearance of these animals -
a simple accident, which, by the way, among felines is not so uncommon. One
day, Jen Parsons saw from the window of her house that in the yard to her brown
cat Burmese breed the black cat is a black cat, in appearance -
oriental type. Here, it should be noted that in New Zealand almost all street
cats belong to the oriental type.
Of course, the hostess hastened to protect her pet from the
encroachment of a black stranger, but it was too late. This became known 10
weeks later when the kitten of unusual color was born, and Jen Parsons
immediately became clear who, so to speak, is the culprit of the celebration.
Of course - the same black oriental cat.
The female kitten was very much liked by the hostess, and
she named it zanyminx Ebony ("Shalunya Ebony"), after the shade of
the pet, which was exactly like an ebony tree. Kitten turned into a cat of
stunning beauty, unusual black color, with a very neat physique. Subsequently,
this cat was paired with Burmese male blue color, which has a picture
of the wool of the cat point ("seal point").
Two females were born in a given amount of time, of which
one had better external characteristics and a more harmonious character. It was
she who was chosen for the subsequent breeding program. Another branch from
which the Mandalay breed appeared was initiated by two breeders - Dorothy
Horton and Pat Hogen, again, from New York. They crossed Burmese cats with
bright red local oriental type.
All these events, both in the first and second cases, took
place over a period of approximately 20 years, in the 1970s and 1980s. And
then, breeders, so to speak, found each other, and in 1990 they presented the
best representatives in WCF, where they literally immediately received official
recognition as a new breed of cats.
