Yes, my order seems to have gone through successfully now.

Ozymandias is quite plausibly a British Shorthair; between WWI and WWII cat breeding became unfashionable so other breeds were bred in to maintain the gene pool. With BSH it was Persian, so if you have two BSH parents with Persian longhair genes you occasionally get a longhaired BSH kitten.
