The Tawny arrived a good while later.

Thank you so so much for providing this information! It's really difficult to find information from anything in 2011 and it's so appreciated.

I've been told so many things about the Ocicat - Tawny, from it being the first ever fur discovery to Equinox actually being the discoverer months before it was officially found by another member, to a myriad of other people being claimed the discoverer, and I haven't been able to find any solid information. The Ocicat - Tawny is really quite elusive, LOL I'm glad we can at least say the Ocicat - Lavender came before it now!
