It started off, when Dorothy Hinds Daugherty, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, found three unique, but very attractive kittens in a Siamese litter. She was so amused with their combination, including the pure white paws, that she thought of having them graded as an individual breed altogether. Dorothy then bred the kittens with the American shorthair breed which ultimately gave their offsprings the inverted 'V' mark on their face. Later, the Cat Fanciers Federation accepted this breed for registration and exhibition.
In 1994, the International Cat Association (TICA), accepted this breed as a championship breed. Thereafter, the look that so besotted Daugherty, also captivated the hearts of other animal lovers. Besides the looks, it was the personality that was endearing, and thus, catapulted the cat to its popularity. However, the championship status by TICA is not recognized by the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA).
