Top 5: Traits ~ What are your Favorite Combinations? ~ {The Patisserie} is ~ Open!

[CatSoleil Bellecoeur]

Great idea ... and great fun! Thanks, Kay!
In attempting to create this list, I realize it is totally arbitrary. Ask me tomorrow, or in an hour, and it will probably be different. ; )


Furs

1) Bengal Copper and/or Bengal Sorrel
2) Chateau 3 Spot No. 1
3) Russian White (best fur for showing off eye colors, I think!)
4) Abyssinian Black and Silver
5) Siamese Seal or Chocolate

* White Tiger, too, of course!


Eyes

1) Morning Dew (Hands down, my absolute favorite --- I think it looks great on any fur!)
2) Crystal Spring
3) Mint Julep
4) Blush Quartz
5) Mercury

…and Lemon and Light Wash and Jade and Crystal Sun and my very first favorite eye: OdysseyDream…

I feel like my favorite eye color WILL be (thinking positively) or WOULD be (feeling less hopeful) GREEN QUARTZ from the White Tigers. I adore that eye color; I crave that eye color. Sadly, I'm beginning to sense it will never actually be AVAILABLE as an eye color. <sniff-sniff>


Favorite Eye Shape

1) Mysterious Big Pupil
2) Mysterious Small Pupil


Ears

1) GENESIS (ha!)
2) Ody 1 and Ody 2
3) any of the BooBoo ears
4) Soft Fold
5) Rounded or Wild Tiger

* LEAST favorites – Mysterious or Soft Fold Point!


Whisker Shape

It would probably have been easier to list the non-favorite whiskers…

1) Plush
2) Fussy
3) Mysterious/Guitar
4) BooBoo
5) Swanky (I’ve only seen pictures, but I love them!)


Whisker Color

This is completely dependent on the cat’s fur, but here’s an attempt at a generic ‘favorite’ list!

1) 2 Tone Black & White (Love these on my Foxie Salt&Peppers!)
2) Blonde Streaked (Love these on my Bengal Coppers!)
3) Black
4) Latte
5) White


Tails

1) Swanky
2) Mysterious
3) Tiger Curl
4) Plush
5) Fussy


Shades

I, too, had never been fond of the shades – hence, “natural” is my number 1 favorite. Two things led me to become more appreciative, however.

With the graphics on my computer, the shades either looked no different from Natural or they simply made the cats look radioactive; Theo Nacht taught me about the graphics settings that revealed the shades the way they were intended to be seen. (Thank you, Theo!)

The second ‘shade revelation’ was falling in love with an AbyBS with Porcelain shade and Mint Julep eyes. OMG! She looks like finely brushed sterling silver!


1) NATURAL
2) Blush
3) Illume
4) Glitter
5) Twinkle

I was just making a similar favorite combo list like you did so I thought lets post mine as well

[Tabbella Resident]

Oooh I've enjoyed reading through everyone's current preferences! Here's a few of mine.

Furs

1.) Balinese Flame
2.) Balinese Cream
3.) Siamese Flame <3
4.) Siamese Chocolate (with Illume shade - so soft!)
5.) TBD with future new furs

Eyes

1.) Ody Bellini (I can't get enough of this eye)
2.) Mint Julep
3.) Ody Sublime
4.) Strawberry Bellini
5.) Bronze

Favorite Eye Shape

1.) Mysterious Small Pupil
2.) Mysterious Big Pupil


Ears

1.) Rounded
2.) Wild Tiger
3.) Soft Fold
4.) I'm still adjusting to other ear shapes in my breeding program - for me they are an acquired taste. I do so love rounded.


Whisker Shape

1.) Plush
2.) Frazzled
3.) Booboo
4.) Wavy
5.) Swanky - just seen 'em and love 'em


Whisker Color

1.) Blonde Streaked
2.) Black
3.) White


Tails

1.) Fussy
2.) Curious
3.) Plush
4.) Frisky
5.) Posh


Shades

1.) Twinkle - hands down for me. I love this shade on light furs.
2.) Flash
3.) Glitter


I am utterly in love with twinkle-shaded, ody bellini-eyed, blonde streaked-plush, bali creams and flames. Although most of mine have ody 1 and 2 ears atm, I melt over rounded. I just adore the softness and "twinkle" of the above combos (gorgeous too on Siamese Flames). Working at adding fussy tails and flash into them now. I just recently purchased the *cutest* little salty with glitter shade, ody bellini, and frazzled whiskers - I didn't think I cared for the foxies until I seen her! What a sweet smile she has, lol. Now what to do with her!

...and Kayleigh, Don Macaroni is a stunner. I can soooo see this cat lounging and purring next to me on the sofa while I'm reading!

Wow what a lovely taste!
I agree with you Twinkle on a light fur is just wows!
Isn't it curious how a trait or fur doesn't strike our fansy till we see it in the right combination as you had with the Salty?
In fact I was never very involved with the Foxie either but today I saw a Soft Black with Mercury eyes and roundies I knew I was doomed and needed to surrender.
I love to read this thread as well I never thought it would become so enjoyable and vibrant as it is now!
Thank you everyone for sharing your likes and please continue to do so it is just so much fun and to read
And Don Macoroni yes he totally stole my heart too I think this will be the first Genesis kitty I consider to keep as pet not sure what it is but he just has the X-factor to me XD

[Malayaa Resident]

These are the traits that make me go awwwww, in the right combination

Fur: Oci Ebony Silver, Pandie Ebony Ivory, Snowshoe Blue, Silver Tabby with the Star, Bengal Tawny, any Foxie!, Bali Seal/Choco/Blue (OK all the Bali Lynxes lol). Want the new coffee and cream, looks very cute!
Ears: Rounded Fold is to die for!!, Soft Fold, Ody 1/2, Rounded
Tail: like them full - swanky, fussy, plush..or CUTE stubby, shorty, tiger curl.
Whiskers: 2tone or Blonde,fave shapes Plush or Fussy. Chocolate has got some potential on the right fur, it looks really cute on a ruddy and I bet would rock on a choco lynx

Blush Quartz! OMW how can it not be in my top 5 LOL they are awesome I wish all the White Tigre Eyes were breedable.
And I agree the Coffee & Cream is só cute!
I was able to trade a rounded fold for a MOF and omg they are just so cute indeed

[CatSoleil Bellecoeur]

Here's the story of how a new favorite was inspired and acquired. Recently, while grocery shopping, I passed by a display of Pepperidge Farm Mint Milano cookies. I felt the twinge of a KittyCatS inspiration moment --- "How about a Siamese Chocolate with Mint Julep eyes?" --- and filed it away for a one-day-in-the-future project. Well, it must have been 'mint' to be. The very next day while I was at the stall where I sell cats, I noticed that the stall next to mine had this cat:

Fur: Siamese - Chocolate
Eyes: Mint Julep (Mysterious|Big)
Shade: Natural
Tail: Curious
Ears: Big Boo Boo
Whiskers: White (Mysterious)
Size: Normal

Needless to say, I saw it as a sign that he was supposed to be mine!

His name?

MINT MILANO

Of course.
