Debbie, I think this must be bogus. For one thing, the quote that CFA
is "very supportive." CFA would *never* give their endorsement to a
two-faced cat. They won't even allow polydactyls to show.

I didn't say I believed this.  I was wondering myself if it wasn't a hoax.
I will check the urban legends site (which I should have done before
posting).

I submitted this to the Urban Legends and Snopes.com websites as I suspect
it may be a hoax.  Nothing is showing at either site about this so hopefully
they'll check it out.
