RE: If There Where Ever A 10th Trait What Would It Be ?
What struck me when I first saw KittyCatS was that they were all the same shape. The Burmese Sable was much too fat to be Burmese! (We used to have burmese cats at home ... very slender & delicately built, though sturdy in their way.)
I would love to see a difference between skinny / wiry cats and normal/chubby cats. Tad suggested this, early in this thread, as a "width" trait. I'd really go for that, since not only ordinary house cats have the striking shape difference, but so do many of the fancy breeds.
Then there's also the head shape -- "round head" versus "pointed head" -- I mean, as real-life Siamese cats have changed in the last several decades, they are bred more for the pointy head (they used to have more of a normal "apple head" shape).
[Which ones were the "Jellicle Cats" that TS Eliot mentions in his poem in the _Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats_? I think they are the ones with the wiry build. Hm, okay, I looked it up and they are "rather small" but they are also "roly-poly". Anyhow ... the weaselly ones. ]
