Boris
Domestic shorthair, born 28 April 1998

Boris is from Heikkilä's crab-farm, which is in Lokalahti, Finland. Boris's siblings were already left for their new homes, but nobody wanted "little" Boris (who was already named Boris), so he moved to our cattery at the age of three months. When we went to get Boris, we were prepared to catch a half-feral cat from somewhere under the barn, but to our surprise Boris was the kindest housecat we had ever seen..

Boris's colour is probably brown mackerel tabby and white. His speciality is the tail, which is only 15 cm long and has full "circle" in the end, like a hook. So Boris is often called the Coathanger-cat. Boris is quite a big cat, over 6 kg. He has a very pleasant temperament, he is quiet and peaceful. Or maybe he just seems like that, because we compare him with our rexes...

Boris has been shown couple of times in cat shows as a housecat. He hasn't had any special succcess, usually the judges just laugh at his funny tail.
