Cats
These often have additional markings on legs, and one or two small splashes of
colour on the body. The Seychellois is an Oriental type cat, occurring in both longhair and
shorthair forms, exhibiting varying degrees of the Van pattern:-
Seychellois Neuvieme is a white cat with coloured tail and head splashes
Seychellois Huitieme is white with coloured tail and head splashes plus additional splashes of
colour on the legs
Seychellois Septieme has splashes of colour on the legs and body in addition to those on the
head and the coloured tail.
British cat fancier Pat Turner defined the different levels of white spotting as: Grade 2 -
"White Trim"; Grade 3 - "Mitted"; Grade 4 - "Irish"; Grade 5 - "Saddle"; Grade 6 - "Pied";
Grade 7 - "Chinese"; Grade 8 - "Harlequin"; Grade 9 - "Van". In exhibition-quality bicolour
cats, symmetrical markings were preferred.
