Those look really good, Greg!
I have a cat...Siamese mix. Basically looks like a Siamese, but with longer hair (not as long as a Persian, though). When he gets brushed, most of the hair that ends up in the brush is sort of a creamy gray color. I had tied up a woolly bugger using that cat's fur for the body. On a tough day last Summer, it was by far the best-producing pattern for me.
