Description
/ History
"Asian" describes a group of cats developed primarily in England. These cats are of "Foreign" Burmese type but differ as they are vari-colored, patterned and may also have different coat lengths. There are both shorthairs and semi- longhairs in this group.
The Chantilly/Tiffany is a moderate-sized semi-foreign cat with a semi-longhaired, full coat and plumed tail. Its long ear tufts are one of the most striking features.
It is accepted in a variety of colors, including blue, chocolate, cinnamon, lilac, and fawn, in both solid and tabby patterns, though chocolate is the most well known.
The breed is friendly, loyal, and affectionate, though occasionally reserved with strangers. It is neither placid nor overly active -- "moderate" is a word which crops up when discussing the Chantilly/Tiffany personality as well as its conformation.
The breed was originally registered during the 1970s in ACA as Foreign Longhair, though the name was changed to Tiffany. ACA dropped the breed due to lack of registrations. It was found later to be naturally occurring in Canada and the breed was resurrected, but by then a different breed called "Tiffanie" was being shown in Britain. The name "Chantilly" was adopted instead. It is still a rare breed.
