Persian cats have always been regarded as rather royal and grand cats. Pedigree Persian cats are big in body structure and have powerful legs and punched faces with stocky bodies. These cats seem to be a magnet for affection for those fond of cats and sometimes even for those who are not.
The Persian breed of cats is again categorize on the basis of some of their characteristics. When you examine them closely you will see that there are subtle differences in the color of their body hair. There are some outstandingly different features which make the Chinchilla breed stand out.
The Chinchilla Cat Club was started in 1908 when these cats were being exported to USA. When you have a Chinchilla breed on your hand and you have to be sure that it is a Persian Chinchilla cat, only way to do is to examine the color of their coat as that is the place where you will observe the difference. The colors of the hair can actually vary. For example a pedigree Persian cat of black color would have only 1/7 of its hair as black.
To describe a chinchilla cat you will always see that they have an undercoat of compltely white hair and the hair on head, tail back and flanks is black on the tips due to which they look as if they have a silver coat. These cats have pure white ear tuffs, chin, chest and stomach whereas their legs have a sprinkling of black.
Theses cats get a glamorous appearance with their dark rimmed eyes which seem as if they are wearing eye makeup. The nose and lips also have black outlines.
The coats of Silver Shaded cats have different color hair tips that give them a shadowy effect. You will see some attractive colors from blue to lilac to chocolate. When you consider both Silver Shaded and Chinchilla the former has more ’shadowy’ coat. The coats have a wonderful mixture of colors giving it more shades than you can imagine.
Also there is the Golden Shaded where the underlying coat is multi colored which again is magnificent and a pleasure to see because of the wonderful effect it gives to the coat of the cat. moreover there is a breed known as the Cameo Persian which has some red in the tips of the coat.
The eyes are what the Chinchillas are distinguished with. All the Chinchillas, Golden shaded, Silver shaded and Cameo Persian cats of pure breed will have eyes which are either green or blue green. There is a little difference between the Golden Shaded and the rest of them as far as their rim colors are concerned. While the Golden Shaded would have brown rims surrounding their eyes and nose the rest of them have beautiful dark color rims around their eyes and nose.
