SHORT HAIRED CATS
SHORT-HAIRED SILVER TABBY
Of the three short-haired tabby breeds
recognised by the Governing Fancy, the Silver Tabby is the
most popular. The black markings must be very distinct, with
no brown or cream tinges, and there must be no breaks in the
bands down the back. The body colour should be a pure silver,
with no signs of brindling. The rings on the tail and legs
must be equally distributed and as black as the other markings.
To breed a cat to such an exacting standard is not easy, but
several breeders are doing very good work in this direction.
The body line and type is usually very good.
Standard Points
Markings Dense black, not mixed with the
ground colour, and quite
distinct from it. Ground colour pure, clear silver, uniform
throughout; no white anywhere.
