Top 5: Traits ~ What are your Favorite Combinations? ~ {The Patisserie} is ~ Open!

[CatSoleil Bellecoeur]

Great idea ... and great fun! Thanks, Kay!
In attempting to create this list, I realize it is totally arbitrary. Ask me tomorrow, or in an hour, and it will probably be different. ; )


Furs

1) Bengal Copper and/or Bengal Sorrel
2) Chateau 3 Spot No. 1
3) Russian White (best fur for showing off eye colors, I think!)
4) Abyssinian Black and Silver
5) Siamese Seal or Chocolate

* White Tiger, too, of course!


Eyes

1) Morning Dew (Hands down, my absolute favorite --- I think it looks great on any fur!)
2) Crystal Spring
3) Mint Julep
4) Blush Quartz
5) Mercury

…and Lemon and Light Wash and Jade and Crystal Sun and my very first favorite eye: OdysseyDream…

I feel like my favorite eye color WILL be (thinking positively) or WOULD be (feeling less hopeful) GREEN QUARTZ from the White Tigers. I adore that eye color; I crave that eye color. Sadly, I'm beginning to sense it will never actually be AVAILABLE as an eye color. <sniff-sniff>


Favorite Eye Shape

1) Mysterious Big Pupil
2) Mysterious Small Pupil


Ears

1) GENESIS (ha!)
2) Ody 1 and Ody 2
3) any of the BooBoo ears
4) Soft Fold
5) Rounded or Wild Tiger

* LEAST favorites – Mysterious or Soft Fold Point!


Whisker Shape

It would probably have been easier to list the non-favorite whiskers…

1) Plush
2) Fussy
3) Mysterious/Guitar
4) BooBoo
5) Swanky (I’ve only seen pictures, but I love them!)


Whisker Color

This is completely dependent on the cat’s fur, but here’s an attempt at a generic ‘favorite’ list!

1) 2 Tone Black & White (Love these on my Foxie Salt&Peppers!)
2) Blonde Streaked (Love these on my Bengal Coppers!)
3) Black
4) Latte
5) White


Tails

1) Swanky
2) Mysterious
3) Tiger Curl
4) Plush
5) Fussy


Shades

I, too, had never been fond of the shades – hence, “natural” is my number 1 favorite. Two things led me to become more appreciative, however.

With the graphics on my computer, the shades either looked no different from Natural or they simply made the cats look radioactive; Theo Nacht taught me about the graphics settings that revealed the shades the way they were intended to be seen. (Thank you, Theo!)

The second ‘shade revelation’ was falling in love with an AbyBS with Porcelain shade and Mint Julep eyes. OMG! She looks like finely brushed sterling silver!


1) NATURAL
2) Blush
3) Illume
4) Glitter
5) Twinkle
