Wondering if a mau colour expert can answer this. My mau boy is silver/black, and not tarnished by bronze, but his pedigree has a few bronzes in it and his sire was smoke. My mau female is a pure silver/black, almost white. Her pedigree is clear of bronzes. My four kittens are all silver/black, but the two largest have very fuzzy kitten coats and we have noticed that they almost have a pink tinge to them in the light. Is that what is called tarnish? The two smallest have thinner coats and have nice even spots.
When they were born they were all silver/black with good contrast. I was told that their newborn coat is a good indicator of their eventual coats. The kitten fuzzies stage will tend to hide their actual coat colour.
