Cameos Explained
When most of us think of cameos, an image of beautifully carved jewelry comes to mind. But in the Persian world, it means something quite different. Cameos are part of the Shaded & Smoke group, but many people are a little hazy on what makes a cameo. In a recent bulletin board discussion, Alon Bigler explained:
"A cameo is either a cream or a red cat that has a white undercoat. This is a very lovely colour and it is created by a special gene called the inhibitor gene. This gene operates in a way that makes the lower part of the hair white while the tipping will be red or cream."
Peek-a-Boo Boxes
The Peek-a-Boo Play Box is still available to all kitties who love to play. If you order a Peek-a-Boo Play Box,
you will receive the box personalized with your cat's or cattery's name (not to exceed 3 names) for no additional charge.
