Breeds for which only gray coat color is acceptable
Blue coloring is standard for some cat breeds. They must have a perfectly even, so-called “solid” coat color. Only in kittens are uneven colors allowed, which fade with age.
Breeds of gray cats:
- Russian blue;
- Nibelung;
- korat;
- Chartreuse.
Russian blue
The ancestor of the Russian Blue was the Arkhangelsk cat, which was brought to England in the 18th century. In its current form, the breed was formed at the end of the 19th century.
These are short-haired cats with almond-shaped green eyes, a flat muzzle and a gray coat with a silvery sheen. The paw pads are oval and have a lilac-pink color, and the inner surface of the pointed ears is a soft pink shade.
The Russian Blue cat is characterized by a muscular and slightly elongated body, long legs, a triangular head, and a tail pointed at the tip. Their coat is silky to the touch, erect, double - the length of the hairs of the undercoat coincides with the length of the coat. Because of this, the cat’s skin resembles plush.

Other breeds of gray cats
There are also breeds for which gray coat color is one of the acceptable color options. Among them there are spotted and solid, smoky or lilac, dark gray or light, silver cats.
Egyptian Mau
The Egyptian Mau breed is allowed only three colors, two of which are gray. Silver cats have a light gray, steel-colored fur, while smoky cats have silver or gray fur. In both cases, the color is not supposed to be solid; there should be black or dark stripes and spots. The silver coloring is accompanied by black edging around the mouth and eyes.
British
There are about 200 color varieties included in the British breed standard, most of them being variations of the gray color.
The fur of purebred British dogs is uniformly colored. Spots or streaks of any color do not meet the standard.
Scottish
The gray color of Scottish cats is not the only acceptable color for the breed, but it is the most popular. A fat gray cat with a touching face and curled ears appears much more often than other Scots in photographs on the Internet.
The cat's coat should have an even color. In addition to the blue tint, Scots can be silver, marbled, or chinchilla.
