Two of the snowshoe's most distinctive features are her coat and color markings, both of which reflect her Siamese ancestors. Born all-white, snowshoe kittens develop their dark features in the first few years of life. This breed is a seal point or blue point, like a Siamese. However, this kitty has a coat resembling a "tuxedo" where the feet are a different color, which comes from her American shorthair genes, explains The International Cat Association (TICA). As the snowshoe cat ages, it's normal for her coat to darken.
Unique and beautiful, these snowshoe cat characteristics, coupled with her athletic build, make a striking combination. Unlike her Siamese cousins, this breed has a much rounder and fuller face and body. The male snowshoe is much sturdier than the female, but both have muscular bodies. Generally, the head is triangular (although some snowshoes may have round heads), with long ears that are rounded at the tips.
The snowshoe's eyes are another striking feature, ranging from deep to pale blue. No matter the shade of blue, they're always bright and shining.
Personality
The snowshoe cat is a very kind and intelligent creature with a playful personality. She'll do what she can to get your attention, including jumping on your lap when you're trying to work or observing your every move from a high perch. If you have a snowshoe, you should consider purchasing a cat condo for your furry friend because she loves to be up high.
Her personality definitely is not that of the loner cat, as she requires companionship and isn't happy when left alone for long periods of time. Cats of this breed will attach themselves to one pet parent, and if you're the lucky chosen one, you'll soon discover that you have a constant companion — much like a dog. "They like to be near you, but unlike a dog, they prefer to lead you than to follow you," explains TICA. "Once 'owned,' you will probably never want to be without one." The snowshoe is most content when everyone is at home, and because she is so good-natured, she's a great choice for families with young children or other cats. https://www.hillspet.com/cat-care/cat-breeds/snowshoe
