There are several distinct physical features that can easily differentiate the Showshoe from other breeds of felines. First is the inverted “V” which is considered an accepted facial pattern. Normally, the “V” should start from the forehead and spreading down across the cat’s muzzle.

The second distinct feature is the ‘white boots’ that usually extends below the hock joint and to the bend of the cat’s ankle.

Third, a Showshoe possesses the stockiness of the American Shorthair but has the Siamese cat’s body length.

The typical colors of the Siamese cats are predominantly present in Snowshoes and may be manifested in two patterns—bicolor and mitted. These coat colors include fawn, cinnamon, blue, chocolate, red, cream, seal, and lilac. The most common colors are blue point and seal point. The point color starts to develop only as the kitten enters its third week of life thus Snowshoe kittens are born white. The eyes of the Showshoe cat are typically blue and its medium-sized ears end in tips which are slightly rounded.

Be sure to have your cat checked by a Gardner veterinary clinic. Visit this website for more valuable information.
