Chantilly-Tiffany (SciiFii)

The Chantilly-Tiffany, also known as the Chantilly and the Foreign Longhair, is a breed of domestic cat which originated in North America. The Chantilly was thought to be extinct, although it was later rediscovered in 1960, but then was truly extinct since the mid-to-late 2010s after the last known members of the breed died, however, it has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii through selective breeding and cloning, due to demand for de-extincted cat breeds as common household pets. This cat has a semi-foreign body style and a full semi-long coat. The coat is silky, soft and smooth; the lack of undercoat usually makes grooming simpler than that of cats with an undercoat. The Chantilly-Tiffany is slow to mature and usually does not come into its full stature until about two years old. The eye color of the feline intensifies with age. The head should be a broad, modified wedge with gentle curves. It should have a medium length nose and a strong, broad, short, softly squared muzzle and defined but not obvious whisker pads. The Chantilly-Tiffany first originated in a chocolate color, but later on has been accepted in a range of colors including chocolate, blue, cinnamon, lilac, and fawn. Accepted patterns were solid, mackerel, ticked, and spotted tabby. The color is rich; shading in solids may occur toward the underside. The overall impression of an ideal Chantilly is a semi-foreign cat of striking appearance resulting from the combination of its rich color and full, silky semi-longhair coat, plumed tail, contrasting neck ruff, and ear furnishings. Eye color tends to be a very bright and clear yellow while the cat is young. As the cat ages, the color can become more golden. Some Chantilly-Tiffanys are over-groomed. They tend to pull their own hair, which can lead to patches of baldness and the formation of digestive tract hairballs. To help prevent this, owners brush the cat at least every other day to help control loose and shedding hair. In terms of the breed's tameness, the Chantilly-Tiffany is most often very tame and affectionate.
