Thanks.
Thanks.
2. Please make sure to spay and neuter your cats. Unless you are a professional breeder and your cat is part of a professional breeding program, please educate yourself to the importance of spaying and neutering by the time your cat is 4-6 months old. If you take care of a feral colony, please make sure to do so responsibly by practicing TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) protocols within the colony. By spaying and neutering, you enhance a cat's quality of life and improve their longterm health. You are also proving your love for cats because in acting as a responsible pet owner/caregiver you are minimizing the problem of cat overpopulation.
I did a search and the cat is not a purebred (the lilac "Persian"). If it would be, it wouldn't look like she does or be so small unless she's underweight or a runt. Brits and Persians are about the same size, so his female should be almost double in weight or at least 1+ kg heavier.Originally Posted by strange_wings
skmdmasud - I remember all the trouble you went through to get your kitten. Since most of the people on here may not remember this is a purebred kitten and automatically assume you mean a non-breed, you may have gotten better answers asking in the breeder section.
Though I agree, she does sound rather small and the past pictures (though she was younger, then) of her she seemed to be so, too.
I do know what a shell cameo is, I am a silver addict (and breeder) after all as you can probably see from my kitty pictures.Originally Posted by skmdmasud
Hi
i did a very accurate measurement and found out my female is exactly 6 pounds. She is a red shell cameo look alike
(SHELL CAMEO (red chinchilla) undercoat white, the coat on the back, flanks, head and tail to be lightly tipped with red. Face and legs may be lightly shaded with tipping. Frill, ear tufts, stomach and chest, white. Nose leather, rim of eyes and paw pads rose pink. Eye color, brilliant copper.) this description matched 90% with my fifi.
bye.
you did not miss the picture, i have some other picture where its a bit more visible.I only found the pics you had posted of a lilac long haired cat called Cosmos/Fifi. Didn't find any chinchilla pics, I must have missed them.
Oh, okay. But then I must correct you that the cat is not a chinchilla/shell/any kind of silver. If she is the same cat as in the kitten pics I found (like this), she is a solid lilac cat. You will notice this if you breed her (if you are familiar with color genetics?). Not that you probably are trying to breed for certain colors but it does help to know what will come out if you mix different colors, helps to determine the sex of the kittens for example. To me she looks to be like this color: picOriginally Posted by skmdmasud

undercoat white -> not fully white its much lighter
coat on the back, flanks, head and tail to be lightly tipped with red -> true inner coat is close to white 1/4 of a the fur is red.
Face and legs may be lightly shaded with tipping.
Frill, ear tufts, stomach and chest, white. -> not fully white its much lighter
Nose leather, rim of eyes and paw pads rose pink. -> true
Eye color, brilliant copper. -> true.
At first i thought the inner white was due to color burn on the outside.
It is very possible to have that happen if the cat in question isn't from a line that has been bred for a certain color thus making the color strong and perfect. With silver (like chinchilla/shell) the undercoat is clearly pure white, not a hint of any other shade in it. Specially when talking about chinchilla colors the amount of "white" is so large that it should be clearly visible in pictures. If you click the picture of the green eyed kitty next to my name, you'll see a shaded silver cat which is a darker version of a chinchilla, having a bit more color in the tips of the hairs, but as you may see, the "white" is very obvious in him, even if he is darker than a chinchilla.Originally Posted by skmdmasud
Hello NorthernGlow
ok.. so what i dont understand is how come she has darker shade on the outside of her fur. The hair/fur (1 single long hair) i can see see clearly the light with and dark tip strand.
Thanks and Regards.
I see it has to be fully white. True she dosent have any milk white any where in her fur. Thanks that explains few things.Specially when talking about chinchilla colors the amount of "white" is so large that it should be clearly visible in pictures.
You will need a chinchilla cat to produce chinchilla offspring (in some cases shaded cats can produce chinchillas too). If you'd mate her with a white cat, you'd most likely get bi-colors (the mixed, having color blotches) and maybe some solid whites/other colors depending on what colors the cats are carrying. But you always need a silver parent to produce a silver kitten, the "white" in chinchillas is actually silver.Originally Posted by skmdmasud

What happens if i breed her with a fully white DLH, will the kittens go towards a chinchilla or will they have mixed fur color like white in the head and lilac in the tail etc.
