Once in a blue moon a cat of unusual color is born of a regular cat. Really! I have a friend whose female golden retriever Daisy mated with a male golden . Both were the same red/gold color. When Daisy gave birth the first pup to come was pure black. Beautiful pup and full golden. All the rest of the litter were red/gold. Once in a blue moon.

I love the delicate mixture of soft colours of this cat. It looks like there is a soft smile on her face. She’s beautiful.
Thanks so much Hanneke.
‘Out of the blue’ , an out of the ordinary striking cat is born thanks to Gretchen’s inspirations.
The line of ancestors pops up again reminding us that all the traits were just dormant waiting for the next generations to come into life …
Your ‘Blue Moon’ work,Gretchen, is gorgeous.
Mother nature is amazing. Just when you think you have something ‘figured out’ it changes. Thanks ♥ gretchen
