Templecat — size comparison — facts and sources

The Templecat has strong bone, blue eyes and a pale coat with darker points. White gloves on the paws and gauntlets on the hind legs recall its Birman ancestry. Its short, silky coat lacks abundant underfur.

The breed developed in New Zealand from shorthaired descendants of Birman lines. Foundation cats appeared after crosses made during the 1990s. NZCF recognised the Templecat in 2019, establishing a separate standard combining Birman type and markings with short hair.
