Which cat breed is right for you?
The Snowshoe was developed in the 1960s in Philadelphia by crossing Siamese cats with American Shorthairs, creating a pointed cat with distinctive white "boots" on all four paws. This medium-sized breed weighs 7–12 pounds and combines the Siamese's colorpoint pattern with a more robust, moderately stocky build. Their short, smooth coat comes in seal point and blue point, always featuring white paws, an inverted white "V" on the face, and striking blue eyes.
Snowshoes are vocal, social cats that inherit the Siamese's love of conversation but with a softer, more melodic voice. They are playful and intelligent, often learning to open doors and turn on faucets — many Snowshoes are fascinated by running water. They bond closely with their families and can become distressed if left alone for long periods.

The York Chocolate is an American breed that originated in 1983 on a farm in New York State when a black-and-white domestic longhair produced a chocolate-brown kitten named Brownie — the foundation of the breed. This medium-to-large cat weighs 7–16 pounds and sports a semi-long, silky, flowing coat in rich chocolate brown, lavender, or bicolor combinations of these shades with white. Their long, plumed tail, tufted ears, and golden-green eyes complete a strikingly elegant appearance.
York Chocolates are affectionate, friendly cats that enjoy following their owners around the house and curling up in any available lap. They are active and playful — especially fond of chasing toys and stalking imaginary prey — but settle down easily for a cuddle session. They get along well with children and other pets, displaying a natural gentleness and patience.
