I've heard people refer to cats by these 3 colors. Are they all the same, and used interchangeably, or is there an actual difference?
She’s adorable! Yes, she’s a cream, in the mackerel tabby pattern. It’s not too common that we see cream or red girls!Thanks for the info!
So, does that make my girl cream?
catmomma627 - abyeb certainly intended to add that both Cinnamon and its dilute - Fawn - are recognised by the CFA for showing Colorpoint Shorthairs, and that the The United Kingdom Governing Council of the Cat Fancy includes Cinnamon, Fawn and Caramel for the Siamese breed as well.In the cat fancy, the color name fawn is reserved for Abyssinians. This is because, in Abys, fawn is the dilute of red. This might sound like it should be the same as cream (as the dilute red), but it isn't, because in Abys, what CFA calls "red" is actually the cinnamon gene, because it's not a sex-linked red. So, when cream is the dilute of red, fawn is the dilute of cinnamon.
Cream, most likely solid, not true tabby his mask doesn’t look high contrast enough for it. Here’s my cream solid girl as a teenager.I have a question along this same line too! Is our tabby a cream or ?? Meet Hobbs! In all my years of having cats & kittens I have NEVER had a cat this sweet. He is 10 weeks old and is a absolute love bug, looooves ti cuddle, in fact his favorite place to sleep is under my chin on my chestView attachment 421790View attachment 421791
That's not actually cream. She's a blue lynx point cat (I think. Maybe seal but hard to tell sometimes from photos). No red colouring.Y’know, I had to make a color choice when we got Kitsune chipped. The vet had filled her info as “beige”. But that didn’t seem right to me, so I changed it to cream and grey.
Now, to be fair, her back has darkened a bit to a beige-ish brown, but first predominant impression is the cream, imo. View attachment 431519
Thanks for clarifying. At the time that I had to pick, I was just going by layman’s impression.That's not actually cream. She's a blue lynx point cat (I think. Maybe seal but hard to tell sometimes from photos). No red colouring.

She is gorgeousI’m glad this post came up! I have been pondering on the subject, as I knew cream and buff were the same but always wondered what the difference was for fawn!
This is our girl Rhubarb, who is cream and white
