Seychellois Cat
History of Seychellois Cat
One would think that the Seychellois cat is an aboriginal
breed that various travelers wrote about as early as the 19th century when
visiting Seychelles. However, this is not the case at all, although the
appearance of these cats corresponds to the appearance of the ancestors.
The fact is that the stories described in natural history
magazines inspired a breeder named Patricia Turner, and she decided to recreate
the aboriginal cats that inhabited Seychelles on her own. For this purpose,
the breeder crossed two-tone Persians with Siamese and oriental
cats. Perhaps someone will say that it would be much easier to swim to these
very islands and bring a few individuals from there.
However, Patricia decided to go the other way, for a very
simple reason - at the time of the creation of the breed, aboriginal
Seychelles no longer existed. Be that as it may, her undertaking brought
successful results, and today we have a Seychellois cat that exactly
corresponds to the descriptions of naturalists.
