"Whiskas"-colored cats—that's what TV viewers call these charming commercial stars. In fact, the popular pet food manufacturer's videos feature true feline aristocrats—British Shorthairs in tortoiseshell and tabby patterns. The renowned breeder "Silver Treasure" breeds these kittens, perfect in both character and appearance. You can acquire a similar silver pet by choosing from several breeds.
Abyssinian cat breed
The silver coloration of Abyssinians is rare, but these graceful beauties have a creamy undercoat, a gray midcoat, and black tips. Their paw pads are also gray, their noses are rimmed with blue, and their eyes are highlighted by a light stripe of fur. A future owner should keep in mind that Abyssinian cats are very inquisitive and active, and they are also talkative and demanding of attention.
Singapore breed
Cats of this breed are quite petite, with a unique, silky coat—ivory with dark spots. Singapuras are energetic and intelligent cats who love to play, but meow rarely and quietly. This cat is a total joy to have around.
Siberian cat
These delightful, fluffy Siberians are descendants of wildcats and steppe cats. They are dog-like in their devotion to their owners and will guard your home, but they rarely get along with other animals in the same space and do not do well in cramped apartments. Their luxurious fur, which comes in a wide variety of colors, requires frequent brushing.
British shorthair cat
The stars of Whiskas commercials—British cats—are kind, affectionate, and peaceful. Both their appearance and personality resemble teddy bears. Besides the popular tortoiseshell color, equally beautiful colors include black, marbled, chocolate, and blue.
Scottish cat
Close relatives of British cats, Scottish Folds and Scottish Straights love to stand up straight on their hind legs, making them social media stars. Unlike the plush British Shorthair, the Scottish Fold's coat is light as a cloud and requires regular brushing. A Scottish Fold kitten will surely charm you with its patient, calm nature.
To choose a purebred kitten, you need to carefully research the breed's characteristics and then decide which one is right for you. Once you're there, choosing from several kittens, you'll definitely get a feel for which kitten you'd like to welcome into your family, and coat color may not be the primary consideration.
