They really do not like being groomed to much by me. They are very good with the groomer though. I guess they think they can get away with it with me LOL Here is a pic when they were kittens.
Beautiful cats! Are you certain they are silver tabbies? From the photos, they look more like shaded silvers to me with not so great green eye color. Sort of like my Lottie:
Possiepurrs. Reason they are considered silver tabbies is because there mother was a calico Persian. Their daddy was a shaded silver. They take much more after him than her, especially Princess. She looks just like her daddy.. Let me dig up a pic of them both that I have.. Maybe you are thinking about blue tabbies? They have much darker stripes than silvers do..
Mamany. Thanks. I think they are gorgeous too. I wish my 2 had green eyes silvers have but it was doubt with their mom being a calico. At times though Princess' eyes do look green in the light. She sure takes after her father..
ellag, No I never have shown them. They are not considered pure silver because of their mother being a calico so they wouldn't win anything. Now their father has been shown many times and has one a lot awards.
My foundation boy for my cattery (I breed silver and goldens) is from a Cream sire and a silver mother. He is a copper eyed silver - in other associations (I Show in CFA) he would be considered a pewter. Just because they are from a calico x silver breeding doesn't mean they are silver tabbies, just that they may have bad eye color. The girl that I posted is from my foundation boy and a golden mother. At least that is the way it is in CFA, maybe your registry is different? We can use any color Persian in our breeding - although most don't due to losing eye color.
Posiepurrs, I was told by their breeder that they are silver tabbies because of not being a pure silver. They were actually an accident. She did not know her 9 month old boy was able to breed yet. Originally I only wanted a girl but none were available. I decided to get Prince. She was going to keep Princess. Then she decided to sell the girl and asked me if I wanted her too. So I got both. Where are you located? Here is a picture of the whole litter. Only one had orange in him (sitting by the pole).
Posiepurrs, That is a beautiful golden in your picture. I have wanted one since I heard of them. Right now I am busy with my 2. I love to have a golden one day.
