Meara Kitty

Well, I've done a bit of research, and I am completely convinced that Meara is a Chartreux mutt, not a Russian Blue mutt. There are differences between her and a normal Chartreux, but those may be explained by her mutt-ness. Why am I so sure? Looky here:

Tell me that doesn't look like Meara. The eyes are darker, but hers are still in the "range." Apparentely show cats should have copper eyes, but she has gold eyes. She's smaller than a normal Chartreux, but again, she's a mutt. She has the thick coat, the EXACT body type, less the size, and the proper eye color. All the Russian Blues I looked at had skinnier, more oriental-type bodies, and blue or green eyes. Really, they don't look anything like her except the color. If you google Russian Blues, then Chartreux, you'll see what I mean.

So it's official, as far as I'm concerned. Meara is a Chartreux-mutt. Oro is an Abyssinian-mutt.

:P

EDIT: Well, I read up on it some more. Apparentely male Chartreux are much bigger than the females, and Meara is actually exactly the right size. So the only differences (between her and a purebred) are her pink tortie markings and slight differences in temperament. Even her paw-pads are the right color. :P
