The first British Shorthair with the Cinnamon gene arrived into Sydney quarantine in October 2007.  They then travelled onto Perth to the Pamela Lanigan of Cuddleton British Shorthairs a month later.  Catbalu Cuddleton is a Fawn bicolour and he travelled with Catbalu Cinnamon Cinders who is a black carrying Cinnamon.  Henry and Cindy came from the Catbalu Cattery in the UK.
