My "Persian-type" kitten is 5 months old now, but I've always been curious as to whether there is a way to properly describe her colouring (technically I know it's probably impossible to classify it, because as far as I can tell, it's not "standard"). Her mother was a silver shaded and dad was a blue golden shaded. 2 of her brothers from the same litter were also "colourpoint", but both of them were darker, and she had 2 sisters that were regular silvershaded. I suppose I'm just wondering, can a cat technically be "chinchilla/shaded point"? I have seen purebred BSH cats with very similar colouring/markings to my girl, and these were just called "silverpoint."
Interestingly enough, she also has little patches (around the base of her tail, top of head and back of neck, and now on some areas of her legs), that look "creamier" than pure white. I also think the hair tips over the rest of her white body are very slightly off white, because when you part her hair, the lengths appear even lighter/whiter. I don't know much about this; could it be tarnishing or a "golden" colouring coming through? The colouring on the underside of her paws also looks browner in some areas, and sometimes areas on her tail look browner, too. I'm trying to describe this as best as I can because it doesn't really show up on photos.
How would you describe this colouring? Is it just "silverpoint"?
