They are "Lucky Cats"——Golden Gradient
Introduction of Golden Gradient
金级It is a rare color in the British shorthair, that is, the golden gradient color. Gold gradient is a color, not a variety.
The difference between male and female of the golden gradient is not big. The biggest difference is that the gills of male cats are more developed than female cats, and they are larger than female cats in all manners.
Introduction to WCF Cat Association: WCF was established in 1988 and officially registered in Germany. It is a global non-profit organization. Today, WCF has more than 370 cat-loving clubs covering 5 continents. The following is the WCF standard for gold gradation:
Tail: The root is strong and the tail tip is blunt.
head: round, wide ears, round cheeks, strong chin;
ears: medium size;
eyes: large and round, eyes are green or blue-green;
nose: moderate width;
body: very thick;
chest: full and wide;
legs: stout, short to medium in length;
paws: perfectly round;
Coat: short and very dense.
Golden gradation is actually a color number of British short cats. British short cats have a long history, but they did not arouse people's favor until the beginning of the 20th century.
The ancestors of the British shorthair cats can be said to be "strength in battle". As early as 2000 years ago, during the ancient Roman Empire, they had fought with Caesar everywhere. During the war, they relied on their superior ability to catch rats to protect the Roman army from being stolen by rats, and fully ensured the stability of the military rear.
Since then, these cats have gained a high status in people's hearts. At that time, they were brought to the United Kingdom, relying on their strong adaptability, and gradually evolved into British native cats. It is not only recognized as a master rat catcher, but its handsome appearance is also loved by more people.
By the end of the 19th century, British breeding experts selected the most beautiful cats from these indigenous cats, and began a long breeding process, and finally this breed called the British Shorthair was born.
In 1871, the British shorthair cat participated in the Crystal Palace Fair in London, and the breed was named since then. In 1901, the British Cat Club was established. At that time, British shorthair cats were still large and strong blue cats, much like French Carthusian cats. Later, as their offspring became more and more alike, they did not even distinguish each other.
Golden gradients have not been studied for a long time. They were first regarded as silver gradient gene mutations appearing in a litter of silver gradient cats, and they were actually selected by some researchers. , Slowly peeling off the silver gradient system to form a separate breeding system.
Actually, the golden gene is a very unique gene. When a golden gradient cat breeds with a silver gradient cat with a golden gene, it is easy to give birth to a golden striped body. Gradient cats, and due to the close genotypes, these cats actually look very much like brown tabby.
The average life span of gold gradation ranges from 13-16 years. The length of life is not only related to genetics and breeds, but also has a lot to do with daily maintenance.

The shortcomings of gold gradient
Gold gradient is more gluttonous, it is easy to gain weight, it needs to strictly control its feeding amount, otherwise it will easily induce various diseases. Such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, etc. If you don't pay attention to your diet, it will affect the life of the gold gradient.
Golden gradation is easy to shed hair. The moulting season twice a year, once lasting for half a year, is equivalent to shed hair all year round. The speed at which they shed hair is like catkins rising from the wind~
Judging the quality of the gold gradient
When selecting the gold gradient, you can choose the gold gradient Comprehensive consideration of coat color and appearance.
Method one for selecting gold gradient: According to the coat color of the gold gradient
First of all, it must look at the color. The undercoat of the gold gradient cat is light yellow to bright yellow. However, the tip of the coat on its back or tail is slightly black, which gives a golden look. The chest, abdomen, and under the face are light-colored series.
Now the most common and common gold gradients are NY25, NY11, and NY12. According to the distinction of tip colors, 25 colors are the most black, followed by 11 colors, and the least black tip colors are 12 colors.
NY25 is easier to distinguish, the hair color is darker, and the hair color will be segmented after plucking it.

It is difficult to distinguish between NY11 and NY12. Although there are different opinions on the quality of NY12, and FIFE does not recognize NY12 color system, WCF has a soft spot for NY12. For most cat lovers, liking gold gradient is not only for its gold, but also for its whiteness.

▲ny11
The biggest difference between most NY11 and NY12 is:
1: the color of the neck 7d; 04a#
2: Toe coat color.
NY12 The color from the nose to the belly should be pure white without yellow hair, while the color of NY11 neck hair will be yellow or not white, and even have yellow stripes. As for the hair color of the toes, it is better to distinguish. NY12 is like a snow-white hand wearing a pair of yellow thunderbolt gloves. The white color of the cat’s fingertips is exposed, while the fingertip color of NY11 is basically not white. Yellow is the color. Lord, some cats may have a little white but not obvious.
Some cats looked bright when they were young, but they have 12 colors. The ear tips should not have black hair. The hair on the claw tips is white, and the hair color in the paw pads is also called white. The black hairs on the tips of the ears are not 12 colors when they grow up.
Method two for selecting gold gradient: According to the grade
Eyes: Choose a big and round cat, and the eyes need to be on the same horizontal plane. The gold-graded eyes are green and blue-green, and there are also yellow-green. The outline of the edge of the eyes is black;
Mouth: Choose a cat cub that is wide but not too big, and don't choose a too thin chin;
Nose: Must have a certain slope, and need to be wider, the tip of the nose is pink;
Ears: not too big or too small, but the base of the ear should be wide and the whole ear should be wide These should not exceed the overall head contour.
Overall: looks very sturdy and powerful cat cubs, with coordinated limbs, and looks very energetic; the limbs and tail ends have hairy tips. The cheeks, ear tufts, abdomen, and chest are in a coordinated light color, and the tone is lighter than the underlying villi. Because the hair tips are less dyed, the overall appearance is lighter than the shade of golden yellow.
The fat golden gradual layer, every smile is arousing affection. If you keep it, I believe you will not help but want to suck it all the time. I hope you can spend every spring, summer, autumn and winter happily with each other~
