Georgie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Georgie
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Snowshoe
Home: British Columbia, Canada
 
   Georgie is about a year old. We inherited him when the young lady who owned him had to move, and are happy to shares our home with him here in British Columbia, Canada. We have been told that he is a Snowshoe, and he does seem to fit the descriptions we find online. Snowshoes are a rather rare hybrid developed in 1960 by crossing a Siamese with a bicolor American Shorthair. Characteristics include the white paws for which they are named, blue eyes and a white triangle around the nose and mouth. They have the coloration of a Siamese but the more muscular build of a shorthair.

    Georgie is a beautiful animal, both in appearance and temperament. He is very social and playful, friendly with everyone and other cats, which has got him into fights with other males. He is also very vocal, like Siamese cats but even louder - we have no need of an alarm clock since he arrived!
