Silver Gradient should be called British Short Silver Gradient, so it belongs to the British Short Silver Gradient variety, not the Silver Gradient variety. Silver Gradient is just a description of coat color, such as blue and white.
Since the silver gradient is a hairy color, naturally other varieties also have silver gradient colors, such as Jinjila, Sugla Zhe and so on.
British Short Silver Gradient was first bred by mating British short blue cats with Chinchilla, so it has the characteristics of these two cats. Compared with the classic British short, it has longer hair, unique hair tip color, and larger eyes. The eye color is not golden, and it has features that British short does not have, such as eyeliner and nose line.
1. Silver gradation British short coat color
The silver gradation coat color can be divided into four grades from Jinjila hair color to smoky color. They are all tip black. You can comb the cat's hair and choose a few universal hairs to observe. If 1/8 to 1/6 of the hair tips are black and the others are white, the baby's hair color is first-rate. If 1/2 of the hair is black, and it is smoked, this hair color looks dirty and the general public does not like it very much. Therefore, do not cross the blue British short with the silver gradient color British short, because the blue gene will be covered by the silver gene and at the same time strengthen the hair tip color, and its offspring are all smoke.
2, silver gradient British short kittens with tabby or leopard dot stripes
British short gradient color can be regarded as the degradation of British short tabby color, when its markings become more When it becomes more and more unclear, and finally completely degraded and uniform, that is the gradient color. It should be noted that the uniformity of the gradient hair tip is more important than the depth. Due to the short breeding history of silver gradient British shorthair cats, there will be re-ancestry after the baby is born. You can clearly see the leopard spots or standard spots for the baby cats just 10 days old, but the baby’s genes will clearly tell them how to grow up in the future, as long as the baby cats you buy are standard silver gradients for more than two generations. Short, usually they will completely degenerate their coat color into a silver gradation within a few months, as fast as three months, slower than half a year.
3, silver gradation British short face appearance
because the British short silver gradation is a British shorthair cat mixed with Chinchilla blood, and Chinchilla is based on It is known for its big watery eyes, so most silver gradation short eyes are shorter than those of pure colors. As long as they look not scary, the larger the eyes, the better the quality.
In addition, the CFA allowed silver gradient eyes have blue-green, green, yellow-green, and pure yellow winks are exceptional. But not every silver gradation eye color is pure blue-green or green from small to large. It is yellow-green when it is young. As it grows, the color of its eyes will also change. Generally, it can last for 1 year. It will not even become standard green in 2 years. If the eyes of a baby cat are still pure yellow when they are three months old, they will basically have yellow eyes when they grow up.
Secondly, the ears of the silver gradient should be opened. As long as the ears are not deformed, the more the ears are opened, the greater the probability that the cat will grow a big head in the future. If the ears are close together, the head shape is basically fixed, and the baby will not have a big head when he grows up. In addition, the short nose of the silver gradient can be properly pitted, but the boney nose is more beautiful, and the beard pad should be wide and can support the structure of the baby's entire chin.
4. Silver-graded British short body type
Silver-graded British short because it is mixed with the blood of Jinjila, so its bone mass, muscle mass, and body shape are not as good as the pure color British It is short, looks weak, and is a medium-sized cat. Especially when it is a kitten, it will feel thinner and weaker, but from about one year old, its British short gene will gradually appear, and the big head and big cheeks will develop, so it is difficult for this kind of cat to judge the future when it is young. What is his body shape.
Generally speaking, the British short silver gradation in the kitten period, its short British characteristics are not very obvious, especially the figure, but one day after one year old, it will Will transform into a beautiful British short.
