This is Mistletoe, the Silver Shaded Chinchilla Persian Cat.
It is not clear when longhaired cats first appeared, as there are no known long-haired specimen of the African wildcat, the ancestor of the domestic subspecies. There were claims[by whom?] in the 19th century that the gene responsible for long hair was introduced through hybridization with the Pallas cat, but research in the early 20th century refutes this theory
The first documented ancestors of the Persian were imported from Khorasan, Persia into Italy in 1620 by Pietro della Valle, and from Angora (now Ankara), Turkey into France by Nicholas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc at around the same time. The Khorasan cats were grey coated while those from Angora were white. From France, they soon reached Britain.[1] Longhaired cats were also imported to Europe from Afghanistan, Burma, China and Russia. Interbreeding of the various types were common especially between Angoras and Persians.[2]

I am Scottish and live in England beside The North Sea. I create pictures with a combination of photography and digital art and a lot of my work involves my little Maltese Dogs and sometimes just upload straight photographs. I can create custom images by request, just send me a message .

Congrats on your win! A superbly captured image - though Mistletoe looks mad at the rain! I had a silver-shaded for over 18 years who was the love of my life. They are quite special!
Morag Bates replied:
Thank you very much indeed for the kind comment. I see that you also had a beautiful Silver Shaded Chinchilla. 18 is is a good age and Mistletoe only missed her 21st birthday by two months. I still miss her.
