The silver colour occurs when the Inhibitor gene strips the colour at the base of the hair shaft leaving it white.

Silvers can come in all varieties of the tabby patterns. These range from pale straw colour through to a deep apricot colour.įor pictures of fully grown golden Siberians please see Delta (black golden classic), Trotskiy (black golden shaded) and Penny (black golden mackerel) on the Our Siberian Cats page and then click on their pictures to see their photo galleries. Just like in the browns, there is a wide range of shades in the goldens. Other registries like FIFe recognise the tabby patterns in the golden colour. In TICA (where we register) they do not yet recognise any tabby patterns other than shaded in the goldens, as such our goldens will be registered either as golden shaded or as brown tabbies depending on how strong their pattern is. They differ to a golden Persian and are often a brighter gold with a pink nose leather and black paw pads. They are difficult to breed as the genetics of the colour is not yet fully understood. They really do shimmer like gold and are incredibly eye catching. Golden Siberians really have an amazing colour. These colours tend to do the best on the show bench due to their wild look (and often they tend to have better type than other colours).įor pictures of fully grown brown tabbies please see Titan (warm brown) and Meadow (also warm brown but verging on gold) and Astra (brown spotted tabby with white) on the Our Siberian Cats page and then click on their pictures to see their photo galleries. They have the wild forest cat look and you can really imagine them living out in the forest hunting their prey! Browns come in a variety of shades from cool or dark browns through to pale browns and warm browns that verge on gold. Shaded tabbies are also less common than the other patterns.īrown tabbies (also called Black tabbies depending on the registry) are for me the ultimate Siberian cat. Classics are rarer as they are genetically recessive. Here are some pictures of the mackerel, classic, spotted, smoke and shaded Siberians. These Siberians are nick named 'Neva Masquerades'. Siberians do also come in a pointed pattern like the Siamese or Birman markings- these cats will have a pale body and colour only on their faces and legs and tail. Solid colours combined with the silver gene result in 'smokes'. no tabby pattern or rather their genetic pattern is hidden or masked by their solid colour) like black or blue. All of these patterns will have the tabby 'M' on their forehead, stripes on their legs and spots on their tummies. Siberian cats can have mackerel (striped), classic (blotched), spotted (the stripes on their sides are broken up into spots) or shaded tabby patterns (where the pattern is faded out- this can occur in goldens and silvers). Like all the pictures on our site, the photos on this page are either pictures of our breeding cats or pictures of kittens we have bred. It is worth noting that Siberian coats can change dramatically with age, often the markings can fade and the coats get lighter in colour.

It is not a full listing of what is possible for a Siberian cat, it just lists some of the beautiful kittens we have had so far!. This page is intended to help you understand what we mean by the different colour names. Our kittens will all have green/gold eyes (though all kitten's eyes start out blue). We now have the genes to produce reds and torties which will be a fun change for us. Some of our kittens will be 'with white' and some 'high white' but most will be without white. Here at snowgum we focus on breeding browns, goldens and silvers and occasionally blues. Siberian cats come in a wide variety of colours.
