These are the cat colors of the tabby Turkish Angora cats:īlue The base color is a pale blue ivory and the markings are in deep blue. This causes the red patched to appear at random in the coat. A “hot” torbie has a lot of red, and the “cool” torbie has very little red in their coat.Ī torbie has one x-chromosome that carries a non-red gene, and the other x-chromosome that carries the red gene. A torbie can be with or without white color. The patches of a torbie are red in color, and almost all torbies are female – just like calicos.

The lips and chin should be of the same color as the area around the eyes.Īnd the spotted tabby Turkish Angora should have spots or “buttons” on its belly too. The face and head have the similar, typical tabby markings as the classic tabby and mackerel tabby. This tabby also has a dorsal stripe on its back, and this should preferable be formed of… you guessed, it: spots. The spots should not look like a broken mackerel pattern. The spots may vary in size, but are preferably round and evenly spaced from each other. In spotted tabby Turkish Angora cats the markings are just that: spotted. Here are two photos of a black silver tortie tabby mackerel Turkish Angora, Mithrandir's Tequila Sunrise. All the markings of a mackerel tabby Turkish Angora cat should be of dense color. The frown lines, rings on the tail and leg “bracelets” are similar to those of a classical tabby Turkish Angora cats. The lines are of unbroken and even color. The mackerel tabbies differ from classical tabbies so, that their markings on the spine consist of one wide spine line or three spine lines. Turkish Angora Cat Colors Mackerel Tabbies It is all right for the cat to have white color around its lips and on its chin. These looks like buttons and are called such as well. It is preferred that the belly of the cat has a row of round spots in darker color. The legs of a classic tabby Angora are barred. The swirl has a spot of the darker marking color, which is surrounded by the ground or base color. The markings form a swirl on the cat’s sides, and this should be unbroken and centered. These reach from the butterfly on the neck all the way to the tail. The spine markings are wide dark stripes which are divided by paler stripes. The nose leather and paw pads are pink.Īs an example of cat colors, here is a photograph of a pure white amber-eyed Turkish Angora (Mithrandir's Suger Babe). The white colored Angora can have eyes that are blue, amber or odd-eyed. White colored Angoras should have a pure, clear white color that has a beautiful silky sheen to it. Each hair is to be of even color from root to the tip of the hair. The Turkish Angora cat comes in many solid colors and all these colors should be even, the cat should have one color throughout, and there are to be no markings or shadings anywhere. All colors and patterns are accepted, except those that show signs of outcrossing (hybridization) such as chocolate, lavender, Himalayan colors (and all these colors with white). The original, preferred coat color was white, but for many years breeders have realized what a lovely, beautiful cat this is in many different colors. The Turkish Angora cat colors are many and varied.
