Chartreux
COAT: Medium-short and
slightly woolly in texture (should break like a sheepskin at neck
and flanks). Resilient undercoat; longer, protective topcoat. NOTE:
degree of woolliness depends on age, sex and habitat, mature males
exhibiting the heaviest coats. Silkier, thinner coat permitted on
females and cats under two years.
COLOR: any shade of blue-gray from ash to slate; tips lightly
brushed with silver. Emphasis on color clarity and uniformity rather
than shade. Preferred tone is a bright, unblemished blue with an
overall iridescent sheen. Nose leather is slate gray; lips blue;
paw pads are rose-taupe. Allowance made for ghost barring in kittens
and for tail rings in juveniles under two years of age.
DISQUALIFY: white locket |
Korat
COAT: single. Hair is short in length, glossy
and fine, lying close to the body. The coat over the spine is inclined
to break as the cat moves.
COLOR: silver-tipped blue all over, the silver should be
sufficient to produce a silver halo effect. The hair is usually
lighter at the roots with a gradient of blue which is deepest just
before the tips which are silver. Adults should be without shading
or tabby markings. Allow for ghost tabby markings in kittens. Where
the coat is short, the sheen of the silver is intensified. Undesirable:
coats with silver tipping on only the head, legs and feet. Nose
leather and lips: dark blue or lavender. Paw pads: dark blue ranging
to lavender with a pinkish tinge.
DISQUALIFY: White spot or locket. Any color
but silver-tipped blue.
