Yup, that picture makes it clear :) definitely a chocolate!

*I* would be thrilled to know a cat I had lost for 5 years was safe and happy, but you can never tell, some breeders might still want her back. What state are you in? My guess is she was sold to someone who dumped her. I just can't imagine any breeder letting that nice of a cat - gorgeous points for a choccy, I thought she was a blue primarily because you don't see chocs with points like that often - get lost.

If you want another like her, I would suggest finding out what breeders are in your area and start looking for who has cats that look like her. From the look of her it would be someone who specializes in chocolates.

The vet said the same as you, that she was gorgeous. He also said chocolate points are rare - is that true?

Why do you think they might want her back if I ever found the cattery? She's spayed and has been with me so long that we are so bonded I feel like a Siamese twin.

She showed up when I was home from a major operation and bedridden for a month. She was about 12-16 weeks old and her hair was so thin you could see her skin. She spent the month in bed with me and policed the visiting nurses, examining everything they brought and making sure they did no harm.

We had her at least a month before I was able to get her to the vet when he guessed her age.

I have seen sealpoints who get very dark, nearly losing their points, but she has stayed pretty white and if you look closely, her ear points at 5 yo are not quite touching (something you or another mentioned here).

Thank you for all your information. This is fascinating and proves I no little about the breed.
