SHORT HAIRED CATS

SHORT-HAIRED TORTOISESHELL-AND-WHITE

The Tortoiseshell-and-white cats are full of character, devoted to their owners and make excellent mothers. As with the Tortoiseshell, patches of red and black are required with the addition of white. The colours shouold be evenly distributed, but usually there is a tendency for the white to predominate, which from a show point or view is incorrect. A splash of white on the face is liked, and a little across the back. This breed as also usually female and it is most interesting to see what colour kittens will be produced. There must be no blurring of the colours, and markings or brindling are definite faults. For this reason it is wiser to use a stud of one colour rather than one with stripes or markings, as they will probably be introduced into kittens, and will prove exceedingly difficult to breed out in future generations.

Standard Points

Colour Black and red (dark and light) on white, equally balanced.
Colours to be brilliant and absolutely free from brindling or
tabby markings. The tri-colour patchings should cover the
top of the head, ears and cheeks, back and tail and part of
the flanks. Patches to be clear and defined. White blaze
desirable. 50
All structural points to follow those given for Black Cats. No
hard-and-fast rule can be laid down for the patching of
Tortoiseshell-and-white cats and this must be left to individual judgement. White must never predominate; the reverse is
preferable.

Eyes Orange, copper or hazel.
