About Snowshoe Cat
In the 1960s, the Snowshoe Cat was first bred in the United States. In addition, this cat results from a cross between Siamese and American Shorthair cats. Unfortunately, a rare cat breed includes this type of cat that likes to swim. This is due to the difficulty of birthing Snowshoe kittens with standard color patterns. Plus, it comes from a recessive gene.
