I love this image from the Lehigh Valley Cat Club show over the weekend in Harrisburg, PA.  I originally thought this breed was the Chartreux, however thanks to a blog comment and several e-mail from TICA judge Rene Knapp, I’ve learned that it is not.  Rene suggested that it could be a lilac Tonkinese, but that it’s difficult to tell from photographs.  I’m posting a second photo of the same cat below in case anyone would like to chime in on an identification!  Learning to recognize all of the different cat breeds is challenging – at least for me!   A special thank to Rene for the assistance!
