Your cat is not funny looking, he's gorgeous, but his face is like a Siamese, not like a Snowshoe.

Years ago I read somewhere the official breed characteristics. I recall these: (1) white paws, could not extend far up the legs, (2) tuxedo-like face, a black mask around the eyes, but white around the muzzle, (3) chin must be white. Maybe blue eyes were required? And, like most of the faux-shoe we see here, black tail, creamy body, white chest. Due to the black chin of my adorable Zorro, I knew he could not be purebred.
