Cat Colors and Cat Eyes

Cat breeders and cat lovers associate certain personality traits to particular colors of similar cat breeds, but can also be dismissed. Chances are any type of cat who has chosen you will acquire its own personality.  When it comes to show requirements the eye colors are being evaluated, too.

Both short-haired and long-haired felines come in almost the same colors, starting with self colors. With some exceptions, all long-haired cats bearing orange or copper eyes will most likely qualify as show material. Of course, they are the most valued. Yellow eyes are acceptable in a few of the short-haired breeds. Siamese, Himalayans, and Whites must have blue eyes, and a few cats may even be show material having “odd eyes,” i.e., eyes of dissimilar colors. Green eyes are often associated with being wild so they’re not acceptable as show cats, however, green-eyed house cats can be charming.

Certain traits are somewhat instinctively uniform to certain cats colors, but in general pets will merely react on the way you treat them. Choose the color or colors of cats that would appeal to you most.  Because of the dominant white gene that dominates in cats, many cats would likely have a patch of white in his coat, particularly on his underside, but he will bear patches of his past on the other portions of his body. His colorful genealogy will be displayed for you to interpret.
