I'm in serious need of a cat color expert.
So, I have 2 kittens. Both are considered "goldens" I love both, I think both are equally gorgeous.
I bred the darker one through my cattery and have always adopted that color out as tabbies.
The kitten pictured in the car is a kitten I just purchased, she is considered a golden.
An issue I've been coming across; I have seen sooo many breeders sell my color kitten.. the tabby, as "golden Persians"
Everyone and their cousin seem to think that the darker ones, such as mine, are also considered a golden. I kindly asked a lady what made her tabby a golden and she said the blue eyes kitten was a 7 week old tabby, color not even set and she's selling them as goldens with blue eyes. And people are agreeing!
I don't agree. I wish I did, I wish I didn't just drop an outrageous amount of cash on breeding stock that I personally believe is a much truer golden, but here I am, with an empty wallet and a beautiful golden kitten.
Anyone know their cat color codes?
Any cat show judges out there willing to put me straight?
Please? Lol.
Maybe I'm not with the times and the kitten I bred is considered golden as well? I don't want to breed her and sell her kittens as goldens just because everyone else is doing it. Only if it's the proper color code.
Would love to hear thoughts on this!
