Re: What colour of cats do you prefer?


Although Abyssinians are genetically tabby. ^^ Ticked tabby.

Usual ("Ruddy" for the US) Abyssinan colour (Love Rover's colour) or black for me. Canna choose between the two. They tend to come in the colour of the cat that decides to adopt me, though, and I have never met a cat with a colour I don't like.

I have much stronger views on conformation.

They can look like a 'True Tabby' but in fact be a self cat with no Agouti gene or the can look like a red/ginger self and be a 'True Tabby' with the Agouti gene. This is down to the way colour is laid down on the hair shaft. Just a touch of genetics!!
Ah youve lost me - lOl

I got my first cat a year ago & just got the third two weeks ago. Time was never right to get one before

I didnt even realise a ginger/red cat was a tabby - lol

Dogs now - well thats different, know my stuff there

Amber is unusual - she is blue with mackeral tabby markings

Tim is a dilute cream mackeral tabby - a breeder on another forum told me that

As for the wee one we thought she was a tortie & white but brcause she has some ginger/red tabby markings, that makes her a Torbie. She has certainly a real "big" character in a very tiny body

I left out black in my list of cat colors; Onyx wasn't my cat technically, I suppose, but I loved her as much as if she had been,

I would have to choose Silver. I have a tabby and a silver but just adore the silver colour.
