Cat Colors Project: Solids
Cats with only one color and without a tabby pattern or white spots are called “solid colored” cats!
A little about the genetics of solid colors
Black and red are called “full colors” in the cat fancy. When a cat inherits the “dilute” genes, black becomes blue and red becomes cream. Even solid color cats that are the same color can look different since the shade of a color can vary. Except for white, it is not unusual for a solid color cat to have a faint suggestion of tabby markings especially when they are kittens. These are called “ghost markings”. These ghost markings are seen most often on reds and creams.
Photos of “solid colored” cats
It’s a bit difficult and hard to understand, right? Let’s look at the photos of “solid colored” cats of British Shorthair and Scottish Straight breeds!
