Australian Mists

AUSTRALIAN MISTS

'Cookie' is my very first Australian Mist and came from Val King - Rosevalleymists she is a beautiful chocolate spotted mist.

Cookie has been DNA tested to check that she does not carry a hereditary condition called Pyruvate Kinase deficiency, her results show she is negative for this condition.

Australian Mists were developed from Burmese, Abyssinians and the Domestic tabby cat, the Burmese donating the largest proportion of genetic material, their character and temperament is very similar to that of a Burmese. However their coat colours and patterns are different, they come in two coat patterns spotted and marbled tabby and seven colours Brown, Blue, Chocolate and Lilac then Gold (which is cinnamon), Peach (which is fawn) and Caramel. Their type is moderate in every way nothing at all extreme about them. It is the Burmese gene that is responsible for the misted effect and the beautiful colouring of the Mists. Their temperament is fabulous they are loving- ' in your face', intelligent and amazing companions

The breed founder Truda Straede has devoted 30 years to developing the breed

Australian Mists are now a GCCF recognised breed gaining Preliminary Recognition in October 2011, and are now being shown at GCCF shows around the UK.

We are working to gain the required number of Merits, 15 cats needing 4 Merits each under 4 different Judges, of which only 2 may be awarded as a kitten, we then will move onto Provisional Stage provided we have met all the criteria and finally Championship level when we can compete for GCCF titles. Exciting times ahead!
