Like a Chateau BW2 with Blue Ice being named "Bali Cream Kaleidoscope!" Even more oddly, usually these cats have nothing on the parents or grandparents to indicate any of the aforementioned traits could possibly be hiding! I think it's becoming the fashion to name less fancy cats after the ones you *wish* you had rather than what they are.
Ya I have seen that too. I don't mind when someone names a kitty "Hiding Bali Seal" if it in fact does hide at least that, but hate to see "9T Bali Seal" on a box that turns out to be a 3T Domino and you often can't even piece together a 9T Bali Seal out of what shows in the pedigree.
At least we have pedigrees now. Though I usually don't see them provided on boxes like the example above. I guess it's a pet peeve because it's something I got taken by long ago when I was a noobie..it still burns lol =op
