Talk:Chantilly-Tiffany

Extinct

My parents live in Phoenix, Arizona and own one of these cats. It is a pretty large cat with a beautiful long hair chocolate coat and piercing eyes. This cat seriously brings home full size rabbits when he goes outside. Definitely not extinct Amchaney19 (talk) 21:08, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It would be lovely if this could be confirmed by a reliable source. Shellwood (talk) 21:08, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have one!!! And has lived 18 years my whole life and they are decently not extinct so yeah by the way Wikipedia is not the place to look at stuff because people can add fake stuff to it 82.36.50.140 (talk) 08:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If they're extinct, what of the recent photographs included in the article? One of them clearly makes reference to that particular cat being in Japan. I'm not sure how definitely it can be stated that they're "extinct". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.199.235 (talk) 16:25, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Corona virus can affect these kind of cats please keep them safe if they eat any grapes or chocolate they can get it and die so be careful 82.36.50.140 (talk) 08:32, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no I will try to keep my cat safe 82.36.50.140 (talk) 08:33, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They aren’t extinct.

On Cats.com, a cat encyclopedia, I found evidence the species still exists. In the facts section, it says the Chantilly-Tiffany was supposedly thought to have been extinct, but is still rare

I would not consider this a reliable source. It's a promotional site for cat products and sites selling cats. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well. Not to be mean, there are millions (hyperbole) of other sites out there showing users the Chantilly-Tiffany cat. Bennett1203 (talk) 21:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those are just non-pedigreed longhaired black cats. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You never know. The cat could still be thriving out there in the wild. Crazy to think that almost any extinct species could be in a random cave. Just thriving there. Not knowing their entire species is extinct. Bennett1203 (talk) 21:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not the place for fringe speculation. With the way pedigree cats work they could not be surviving in the wild as they would mix with non-pedigree cats. Not only would they revert to type after a while they simply would not be pedigree. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:26, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have one. She's spayed. Unfortunately I had no idea what she was. She's a chocolate long hair with golden eyes, her face and paws are black. She has the lighter grayish ruff and is probably Abt 14 lbs. Beautiful to me. She was a stray at a reservoir, and was so hungry she walked up to a man walking 2 big German Shepherds unafraid. @ 71.213.0.143 (talk) 23:51, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edits on extinction

This article is about the pedigree-registered Chantilly(-Tiffany) cat breed, which is officially extinct until another cat is registered under the same breed name with one of the pedigree cat registries. Please don't change the parts of the article about the breed's extinction unless you can provide sources that show a new cat is pedigree registered under the Chantilly or Chantilly-Tiffany breed name. As of May 2024, the breed is still extinct and the only cat registry open for pedigree registration of the Chantilly is the Canadian CCA-AFC.

Longhair cats without pedigree registration are not considered Chantilly(-Tiffany) cats, but Domestic Longhair cats. YukiKoKo (talk) 18:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
