Emile, I've never heard of snowshoes, before! I had kitties that had little flat ears, can't remember the names of them, but like yours, they can't be bred, they're genetic! I think Houston is a fine specimen of a breed - how do you choose which kitty lives inside, which one lives at the surgery, and which lives outside? #11024945
