Cats
The tortoiseshells ideally were to
have large patches of colour, but Schwangart admitted that this was rare. In parti-colour cats,
the eye colour was to reflect the predominating fur colour. The eye colours of the Chinchilla
(black-tipped), peach colours (goldens?), smokes and silvery ones related to their coat colour
(i.e. paralleling shorthairs and Persians).
In May 1935 the German Longhair was officially allowed to be bred under the auspices of the
"Katzenverein des Deutschen Reiches" (Cat Club of the German Reich), which was the only
breeding club at this time. It was grouped in the longhair class together with the Persian and
Birman. In October 1939 it was recognised by the Confédération Internationale Féline (CIF)
as "Borealis" or "Boreali" ("Northern"). The CIF. was the predecessor of the Fédération
Internationale Feline (FIFe) and had been founded by the Societa Felina Italiana, the Cat
Club of Paris and the Fédération Suisse
