As the lilac cat looks

Color of hair of lilac cat reminds cocoa with milk: gray with an obvious bluish-pink shade. The intensity of color at the same time can vary therefore the color of lilac cats is subdivided into three options: actually lilac, lavender and lighter izabellovy. Sometimes cats with such coloring are also called "platinum".

Kittens of such color usually are born from crossing of blue cats with chocolate: for receiving a hair of this rare and unusual color at them the recessive gene of a chocolate color and also the recessive gene weakening color which blue cats have have to "meet". Purely statistically such combination of recessive genes occurs only in 25% of cases therefore lilac kittens in a dung meet quite seldom. And according to specialists manufacturers, for receiving lilac kittens in nursery it is necessary to conduct selection work about 10 years. Now the lilac cats received by the Dutch manufacturers are considered as the most effective: at them the pink outflow of a hair is expressed most brightly.

Lilac colors

Color at lilac cats most often monophonic. Among oriyental spotty animals sometimes meet – more dark roundish stains located on all body. At the British the lilac color is almost always uniform.

As a result on a body of a lilac cat is not present a uniform light speck, and a strand of wood are evenly painted on all length. The soft underfur can be slightly lighter, but it should not affect the general tone of wool in any way. Too contrast underfur or unevenness of color of wool is considered "marriage of a color". Also British cats of a marble lilac color meet – the symmetric, more dark strips forming the drawing reminding a butterfly on shoulders and a back. It is one of the most rare coloring of marble cats, and such animals very unusually and effectively look.
