Grey Cats
Surprisingly , there are many different viewpoints about whether or not grey cats are even a breed . Some say grey is merely a color rather than a breed ; others , including the American Cat Fanciers Association ( ACFA ) recognizes 24 breeds of grey cats . The important thing is there is enough variety among grey cats that cat lovers certainly have a wide variety of choices when looking to add a feline to the family .
The following are among the more popular classifications of grey cats : American Shorthair Grey ... British Shorthair Grey ... Chartreux Grey ... Siamese ... Persian ... Maine Coon ... Domestic Longhair Grey ... Domestic Shorthair Grey ... Egyptian Mau Grey ... Korat Grey ... Norwegian Forest ... Nebelung Grey ... Oriental Shorthair Grey ... Russian Blue ... Persian Grey ... Scottish Fold ... Siberian Cats ... Sphynx ... Cornish Rex ... Turkish Angora ... Ragdoll .
These felines can vary from short to medium to long-haired , with coats that come in all shades of grey or combinations of grey and other colors , in a range of hues , from very light silvery grey to deep slate blue . They also come in a variety of different patterns , including solid grey , grey tabby , grey spotted tabby , grey ticked tabby , grey spotted , grey pointed , and bi-colored ( grey with white ). Grey cats are not particularly rare . The color grey , which is also called blue , is a dilute variation of black , which is a very common color in cats . All types of grey cats feature a specific eye color and face shape .
Studies indicate that there is a link between the color of a cat ' s coat and their personality traits , which may be helpful when choosing the best type of feline for your family . In general , grey cats are usually considered peaceful , affectionate , gentle , and calm . Tabbies tend to be home-loving , good-natured , friendly , and sometimes a bit lazy . Blue gray cat breeds are known to be great companions that get along well with children , and are easy-going and loyal to their families . Overall , grey cats tend to be less active than other colors , making them a good fit for homes with small children or elderly people .
Something to be aware of : Gray cats can be prone to health problems such as kidney and heart disease . They may also be more prone to anxiety or stress .
Many cat breeds can produce grey kittens , but coat colors can change as they age . if you want to be sure your kitten ' s grey coat will remain , then a British Shorthair or Russian Blue are your best bets .
Grey cats are one of the most popular breeds , and for good reason - they are loyal , smart , and affectionate companions . From their gorgeous coloring to their personality traits , they will be a great addition to any family !
