Tobi, who is a littermate of Terri, is a "pet quality" Birman. This means that he is not
"show quality." Some of his colorpoints do not meet breed
standards for showing. Specifically, his laces do not extend high enough (Breed
standard: Laces- the gloves on the back paws must extend up the back of the
hock, and are called laces in this area. Ideally, the laces end in a point or
inverted "V" and extend 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the hock. Lower or higher laces
are acceptable, but should not go beyond the hock. Symmetry of the two laces is
desirable.). He does, however, have the Birman temperament, he is not
aggressive, loves to be with people, and is underfoot all the time. He likes
everyone and will curl up with anyone as long as they will pay attention to
him. He is a real love! As of July 2003, he is 2 1/2 years old.
