Thank you and congratulations Wolfisme! I'm very glad that you and others - Devil? - did the breeding that created the proof. And thank you to Lexi and China for helping.
"Never was there a more 'appier crew as them wut sings chim chim charee chim charoo."
I know the song well and love it from childhood. I mean like really - I had the Disney story record and listened to it a lot.
My point was that naming a whole pedigree of cats "Chim" - even the OciPlats - is confusing to the bystander.
I remain very grateful that Coverboy posted it. You may have noticed that it's the same few names that often post to the breeders section of the forum. Many many many people on the grid do Not report their proofs to the charts. This can be for a variety of reasons: language barriers or people simply aren't in the habit of reading the forum or they don't bother, or they're not sure of the protocols or they're not sure they have a proof. (Arwen and I and I'm sure many others are willing to look things over or help with posting.) So we just don't count on people reporting.
The status of this Chimera fur means that it was never going to languish in obscurity. But with FlowerChild OrangeSkies we had to do a lot of digging to get chart data and some people with the eye were ... unhelpful. (I understand the issues surrounding pricing and recessiveness ranking, thank you very much.) Others Were helpful - thank you China.
In short, I'm very happy that the proof was reported and if I could I would hand champagne all around to all the breeders, helpers, and the auctioneer who made it happen.
And congratulations to everybody who owns the Chimera - black grey fur. Enjoy it!
