The Seychellois Cat is another example of an attempt to create new, oriental type breed. It is a cross between a Tortie and White Persian and Siamese. The long coat of the Persian has not been entirely lost and the variety is recognized (as unrecognized color) by the British Cat Association in both coat lengths.
It is fundamentally a cat of slender oriental build and features, with a white coat splashed with various colors. There are three variation, according to the proportion of white in relation to colored areas: Septieme (seventh), Huitieme (eighth) and Neuvieme (Nonth). All have blue eyes.
A chocolate and white Seychellois Cat shows its Siamese origins in the distinctive point colors.
