2004 Breed Council Ballot ~ Proposals and Results

Persian - Himalayan Division:
 
Total Members: 67 ~ Ballots Received: 43 ~ 60% for passing: 26
 
RESOLVED: Replace the current description of nose leather and paw pads for the chocolate point with the following:
NOSE LEATHER: Light to medium brown
PAW PADS: Chocolate over pink

RATIONALE: Because the chocolate and lilac gene soften the color points. The chocolate and lilac have an “Incomplete Recessive” gene that makes the mask and depth of color not be present or in the other colors. Plus the leather and paw pads of any agouti cat will be pinker. This is the basis for all the changes suggested by the chocolate and lilac community.
 
Yes-26, No-15
Motion failed, Feb 2005 Board Meeting

 
RESOLVED: Replace the current description of paw pads for the lilac point with the following:
PAW PADS: Mauve over pink
ADD to general description: Allowing for incomplete mask

RATIONALE: Because the chocolate and lilac gene soften the color points and we need to keep the description of the point colors different from that of the dramatic for the changes on both colors in solid colors. For example, we do not want a light seal or blue point that carries chocolate to overtake the true chocolate or lilac point. The chocolate and lilac have an “Incomplete Recessive” gene that makes the mask and depth of color not present as in the other colors. Plus, the leathers and paw pads of any agouti cat will be pinker. This is the basis for all the changes suggested by the chocolate-lilac community.
