I'm still trying to figure out what colour my kitten is. I pick her up next week so the only photos I have are ones that her current home have sent me.

I can't decide whether or not it's just the light, or she does actually have slight gingery patches. I'm assuming it will be easier to tell when she's a bit older but wondered if any of you guys could give me your opinions.


She's the kitten on the left in the last

She is beautiful! I would call her a silver tabby, but her color sure could change a little in the coming months. She is very pretty, congratulations!

That little beauty is a blue classic tabby. Blue means grey in the cat world. The ginger/red patches are called apricot and they are her tabby markings of her tabby pattern and this means she is going to be what is known as a warm shade/colour of blue.

Blue tabby coloured cats can be any shade of blue from a light powder puff shade of blue with apricot tabby markings - this is a warm shade/colour. To dark steel shade of blue with almost white tabby markings - this is a called a colder shade/colour.

Ah okay that makes sense about the gingery patches.

The first time I went to see her she was only about 4 weeks old so she was just a little grey ball of fluff! But her markings are starting to come through a lot more now. Can't wait to see what she looks like fully grown :D
