Persian cats and kittens are adored for their luxurious coat. These coats come in an astonishing variety of colours and patterns, which makes them one of the most diverse breeds in terms of coat appearance.
1. Solid Colour Persians
These Persian cats have coats of a single, uniform colour. The most common shades of Persian cats include white, black, cream, blue (a soft gray), chocolate, and lilac. Solid Persians look especially majestic because their long coats showcase the richness of their colour. The rarest colour to find is a lilac colour Persian cat.
2. Bicolour and Tricolour Persians
Bicolour Persians have coats with white plus another shade, such as black-and-white or blue-and-white. Tricolour Persians, often called “calicos,” feature a mix of white, black, and orange (or cream and blue in dilute versions). Their coats are lively and eye-catching.
3. Himalayan Persians (Colourpoint)
A unique type, Himalayans are Persians with Siamese-like point coloration—darker colours on the face, ears, paws, and tail, with a lighter body. Popular shades include seal point, blue point, and chocolate point. Their bright blue eyes are a trademark feature.
4. Tabby Persians
Tabby Persians display striped, swirled, or spotted patterns on their coats, much like wild cats. Variants include classic tabby, mackerel tabby, and spotted tabby. Their expressive markings make them stand out from solid-coloured Persians.
5. Shaded and Smoke Persians
These Persians have coats where only the tips of the fur are coloured, while the undercoat is lighter or white. In shaded Persians, the tipping is subtle, giving a sparkling effect, while smoke Persians have a more dramatic contrast when their fur parts.
6. Golden and Silver Persians
Among the rarest and most admired, golden and silver Persians have shimmering coats with black-tipped hairs, giving a glowing effect. Their angelic look makes them highly prized by breeders and enthusiasts.
One of the most popular and common colours on Persian cats is the Orange cat. Orange Persians are believed to be more affectionate than any other. Orange tabbies have a luxurious coat along with the “M” pattern on their foreheads.
No matter the colour of your Persian cat or kitten, their skin and coat require extensive care. Make sure to give your cat food that contains Omega-3 fatty acids that are easy to digest and to access, to support a healthy coat. Carniwel’s specially formulated Persian cat food contains Antarctic krill, which is ideal to support your Persians long hair coat. This makes enjoying their colour a luxurious celebration!
