The snowshoe cat is a rare breed started in the United States. It is known for white paws and unique facial markings. The snowshoe cat on this Russian pendant displays a playful attitude. Even while sitting, one paw is raised, just waiting to bat at a piece of string or a jingling ball. This pendant is hand-painted in the Russian tradition, and a great deal of craftsmanship goes into its design. Because it is hand-painted, each pendant will vary slightly in coloring and detail.
