Breed from Siamese and American Shorthair. Named for white paws resembling snowshoes and V-shaped facial markings.
The Snowshoe is a breed developed in the United States in the 1960s by breeder Dorothy Hinds, who began crossing Siamese cats with bicolor American Shorthairs to produce cats with a colorpoint pattern and distinctive white paws. The breed is named for its white feet resembling snowshoes. Snowshoes also typically display a white "V" or diamond-shaped facial marking against their pointed coat. They are medium to large cats with vivid blue eyes. In temperament, they are affectionate and social, less vocal than Siamese, and known for an affinity for water. The breed remains relatively rare due to the difficulty of achieving its distinctive markings through selective breeding.
