These are two twin kittens Orphie and Ozanna of light brown color, Roswell of resin color, gray Rose and two beautiful multi-colored boys - Polaris and Phantom.

Surprisingly, unlike Prada and Phoenix, the other kittens inherited Narnia's striking blue eyes. “This is very rare, there are only a few cats in the world that have solid color and blue eyes. It's a new gene called 'ice,'" Stephanie said.

Narnia was born in Paris but lives in the UK. It was previously thought to be a rare chimera cat, but genetic testing has shown that this is not the case. “The geneticist did research and found out that Narnia only has one DNA... so it remains a mystery to science,” Stephanie said.

Popular breeds of gray cats

Among the variety of breeds, there are three that are characterized by a rich blue tint to their coat. All other colors are considered vices. The list of ideal grays includes the Korat (a short-haired cat from the provinces of eastern Thailand), the Chartreux or Carthusian, popular in Western Europe, as well as the Russian Blue or Arkhangelsk. However, the beautiful blue color can also be found in representatives of other breeds, which are widespread in Russia and throughout the world.

British Shorthair

Gray color has long been considered a characteristic feature of the British breed. At the time of official registration, they even planned to name the cat “British Blue.” Today, many different shades of British Shorthairs have been bred, but the classic rich blue still has many fans. Shining dark gray fur perfectly emphasizes the dense physique, strong bones and noble face of a true British dog. Among the colors there are also silver-gray tabby, as well as an unusual lilac (gray with a warm reddish undertone).

Persian

These cats with unusually long, soft, hairless hair are considered one of the most beautiful and popular. Persians come into fashion with enviable frequency and amaze with their variety of colors. Rich blue and gray smoky Persian cats look very original and unusual for those who are accustomed to white representatives of this breed. The Persian is an ideal domestic cat: affectionate, calm, peace-loving. Requires careful daily grooming and proper feeding. Gray Persians need to wear a bib when eating, otherwise food debris will spoil the beautiful bluish color of their coat over time.

Turkish Angora

The classic angora has a snowy white coat. But there are also darker blue cats. The bright shade contrasts beautifully with amber eyes. The main advantage of the Turkish Angora is its unusually soft and crumbly semi-long wool, whose texture differs from the usual cat coat. Angora fur is devoid of hard guard hairs, the cat looks airy and incredibly graceful in movement. Representatives of this breed participated in breeding work to improve the appearance of other long-haired cats. Angora requires careful care of its coat; it must not only be carefully combed, but also washed with a special shampoo that removes the red pigment from the hairs. Coarse brushes and combs should not be used for grooming; they can damage the fine, delicate coat.

Russian blue

A cat that can have only one shade of fur - noble bluish-gray. The fur is very thick, dense, soft, iridescent in the light. The cat has a very harmonious build; its grace is emphasized by long paws and a very expressive flexible tail. The cat has the character of a true aristocrat, she is calm, not intrusive, and not prone to violent games. Experts note the good health of the Russian Blue; it is quite easy to breed. To get ideal kittens, it is important to choose a good match for the cat and remember that mating with representatives of any other breeds is strictly prohibited. Breeders have also developed a long-haired variation of the Russian Blue cat, called the Nibelung.

American Curl

Curls are very diverse in color. Connoisseurs of gray will like blue and lilac colors, as well as various variations of tabby and bicolors. The main feature of this breed is its unusual ears with the top part turned outward and fluffy hairs inside. Cats have luxurious long and semi-long fur; they are rightfully proud of their bushy tail and rich collar on the neck, which turns into a chest frill. Curl fur does not tangle or mat, but for an ideal appearance, cats need to be brushed 1-2 times a day. Among the advantages of the breed are excellent health, as well as a playful disposition, which Curls retain into old age.

Scottish fold

A breed that has become famous for its folded ears that do not extend beyond the contour of the head. In combination with huge round eyes, they give the appearance of the Scottish Fold incredible charm. This cat remains a kitten all his life, despite his muscular body. Among cats with folded ears, there are straight-eared straight cats, which are necessary for breeding. Breeders also developed a long-haired variety of the breed, called the Highland Fold. Rich blue and warm lilac-gray colors are very popular among Scottish cats, as are silver-gray tabbies.

Drawing on the fur of cats

Cats of red and cream colors always have a pattern on their coat.

A variety of coat patterns allows you to get kittens with individual color characteristics. In order to obtain the desired color with the maximum probability, breeders study genetics and, based on new knowledge, look for parents for future offspring.

Ordinary pet owners rarely think about the need for selection.

Tabby (tabby cats)

Tabby is the most common color of cats; this word also means the presence of a pattern on the coat - stripes or spots.

Breeding such pets is difficult - the result can be quite unexpected.

Solid (solid) and smoky cats

If the cat is completely one color, this color is called solid. Such cats almost never have a pattern on their fur.

If the cat is black or blue, but the roots of the hair are clearly white - smoke (from English “smoke”). The roots of the hair of cats of the same color are usually greyish, but true “smoke” cats have distinct white roots, the color remaining only on the top part of the hair.

White marks

Cats of any color may have distinct white markings. The name of the color depends on their size and position.

Tortoiseshell cat color

Cats with similar coat colors have a combination of random spots of red and black throughout their body.

Color point

Cats of this color are characterized by darker areas than the main color at the end of the muzzle, tips of the ears, paws, and tail.

Cats of this color are born completely white and gradually darken. The older the animal, the darker the spots.

Are you sure it's black?

Sometimes a black cat isn't black at all. This is only visible in good lighting. With a larger dose of light, a dark brown glow appears. Such cat charm.

As you can see, the process of changing fur color can have many reasons. If you are concerned about keeping your black cat black, you may want to consider supplements, but only after consulting your veterinarian. Either way, it's worth having a cat, but the proof of how valuable a black roommate would be is a rhetorical question. Even if his fur has undergone metamorphosis!

Color options

Other tones that descendants inherit from their ancestors also participate in the formation of coat shades. All attempts by breeders to create a uniform color were unsuccessful. Any red color looks patterned.

1. White and tan is the most popular option. The white gene in this color combination is dominant and suppresses the white spotting of solid colors.
2. Gray-red appears if one of the parents has the D gene, which is responsible for color intensity. The most spectacular combination is red, white and gray. This color is often found among outbred cats.
3. A red tabby or tabby appears as fine lines, a clear outline of the upper and lower eyelids, and an "M" shape on the animal's forehead.
4. The red tabby is a very varied and interesting color that looks like a shaded tabby. Contrast comes in different intensities.
5. Black and red - tortoiseshell. Its carriers are cats. The color is often found in Persians and Maine Coons.

Tortoiseshell color (black and red)

Possible eye colors

In red cats, the iris seems especially bright and contrasts favorably with the coat color. The most attractive combination is a red fur coat and green eyes. However, eye color can be of any color: green, orange, yellow, blue of varying intensity.

The orange iris appeared as a result of selection. This is the most saturated color in the range of shades. A deeper shade is called copper.

The depth of color reveals itself with age. Kittens' irises change as they grow, so it's not so easy to guess what the final tone will be. If a kitten's iris is brownish-brown, an adult's iris will most likely be orange.
