The 9 official coat colors of the cat

Cats are animals known to have a wide variety of colors and patterns on their coat. But did you know that there are actually 9 official dress colors? These 9 colors are plain dresses, without patterns, also called solids. Moreover, when the cat’s hair has stripes or spots, it is called a tabby coat. Discover with delight the main colors of one of the most popular animals in our cottages.

1. Noir

The coat is an intense black, without reflections, and united from head to tail. In addition, the eyes are golden or green. Remember that the signs of bad luck attributed to the black cat are only superstitions, sometimes unfortunately creating a feeling of disgust mixed with rejection in some people, while others find that seeing this “dark” feline is synonymous with good fortune.

All in all, a legitimate question then arises: is it possible that the color of the cat influences its character? In addition, we have presented the most representative shades in cats. However, some breeds have a simply atypical dresssuch as the leopard-looking Bengal cat, or the Ragdoll cat, associating its gray and creamy white colors of its hair with that of its ocean blue eyes.
