However Uptomalian Baileys may have
carried Chocolate...
The other option is that the Pinegrove
Chocolate colour comes from a breeding
done in the late 1970s by well-known
Aby and Burmese breeder Maurice
Sklader whose cattery name was Arolan.
Arolan Sirrocco, a Sorrel Abyssinian, was
bred to Blazing Saddles a Brown Tortie
Burmese that carried chocolate.
F1 The offspring was Arolan Mosaic who
had Lilac Tortie Ticked Tabby colouring.
F2 When she was bred with Arolan
Marcus Brutus a Blue, she produced Larry
and Susan Ilott’s Blue female carrying Chocolate, Xyster
Ultramarine on 13 April 1981. |

Incidentally the prefix Xyster (Z-eye-ster)
is the name of a medical surgical
instrument for scraping flesh off bones -
rather like a feline does!
F3 Xyster Ultramarine was bred to
Carmen Bachelier’s Giselle Silver
Tehuantepec, a Usual Silver, probably in
the early 1980s, giving Mallorca Edward a Chocolate Silver. Bred by Mrs K
Lydiard, he was owned by Mrs Anita and
Miss D Rowsell, and also lived with
other breeders, maybe including Freda
Upton of the Uptomalian cattery, as he
was an important stud cat in both
Chocolate and Silver lines.
