Description of types of colors Consider more in more detail, what types of Maine Cunov colors are. Tabby Color Tabby is present in all Maine-kunov (but not everyone has pronounced). This is due to the fact that such a color is laid genetically - the animal's hair is zoned, that is, striped. In some literature you can meet the name "Tebby" - to the English manner. In addition, it was this tint that initially had any forest or wild cat. Color "Tabby" can have several variations - depending on how the dark and bright areas of hairs are alternating and folded in wool. For example, solid parallel stripes are a sign of the "Tiger Tabby". If the strips are intermittent, the color is called "spotted". Under the "classic" implies the marble pattern (divorces). A variety of this type of color can be considered "Taking". The latter implies ticking (that is, the presence of strips) throughout the body of the animal, however, the drawing is not expressed. Sometimes only these bands are manifested on the forehead, breast, the paws of the animal. Cats with a drawing "Taking" are often found among Abyssinian, ticked main-kun - rarity, so it is so appreciated. Among the individuals with the color "Tabby" you can allocate black cats. This is not an error - black color is always the residual stripes ("Tabby"). They are especially noticeable for kittens. It seems that the finest black veil is thrown over the fur with the pattern. As the individuals are agreed, the drawing appears less and less, the wool becomes a noble black color. However, the latter is largely the merit of the owner of Maine Cunov. To save the black fur coat, the animal requires special care and diet, contraindicated him to stay in the sun (brown spots can be formed on black wool). Solid cats with such a color do not have a picture (or characterized by "shadow", that is, not a strong picture). For a solid, a complete color of the animal's hair is inherent along the entire length. However, sometimes the individual has a lighter shade underly. Other spots are marriage. Solid can be red, black, white, cream and blue. Among them are especially rare and expensive (that is, red) solid. It is interesting that the red shade itself is one of the most common in Maine Cunov. However, the drawing on such wool appears brighter. In other words, in the specialized market, you can most often meet the red variations of the "Tabby", spotted red Maine Cunov, while the same red cats, but already the heyday "Solid" is a real rarity. Blue solids were widespread in the West. In our country, they are sometimes mistakenly called gray, however, the difference between the blue, smoky and silver cats are colossal. The delight of connoisseurs causes the blue smoke color, in which Maine does not have a pronounced pattern, however, its wool includes several variations of colors - from silver to graphite. It is worth separately saying about the white solid. In any case, the White Maine Wool Color is not a color, but the lack of pigment. Snow-white kittens can sometimes have darker spots on the face, disappearing as an animal grove. White Maine-Kuns are unpretentious in care, however, may be deaf. That is why they are better to acquire from well-known and experienced breeders. It is unacceptable to cross the two white individuals, since it consistently leads to genetic deviations. Because of the fear of the deafness of the animal, many choose not white, but cream cats. Such a color is the result of clarification of the classic red. As a result, an animal of cream-ginger color is obtained. However, to achieve pure solid problematic, strips or classic patterns show themselves (usually on the face, breast, legs). Turtle Maine Cuna with a turtle color is a three-color Maine-kun, which has picturesque appearance. Based on how the tint prevails, Maine Cuns of the Turtle Color are divided into: "Torbi" (the color consists of black and red); "Torti" (they are joined by a cordial cream hue). Also additionally a haze or silver may be present. Interestingly, the turtles are usually born female individuals. Chance to be born male individuals - 1: 1000. The turtle color can be complemented by white spots having a clearly pronounced outline. Such color is called "Calico" (translated - flap, sitherium). Silver and smoky smoky Maine kuna are very popular and look very impressive. With such a color, every cat hairs has a white base and a tip with a pigment. Moreover, the color can have a different intensity from the darker smoky to completely light silver. For example, the cat's cat's cats have a strongly pronounced shade of the fur. The intensity of the color depends on which part of the individual is the individual: if half of the halves is scratched, then it is "ordinary smoke"; When scacing 1/4 of the hair, it is believed that this is "culminated smoke"; The hair is shoved on the 1/8 part, in front of us Maine-kun color "Chinchilla". Separately, in this group, Mainee with exquisite silver color is distinguished. It can be so light and easy that individuals are easy to confuse with white, especially in childhood. Traditionally, kittens are distinguished by iris color. Snow-white animals have blue eyes, while silver are green-eyed handsome. As individuals grow, the wool darkens somewhat, it becomes more pronounced drawing "Tobby". Maine kuns are considered great value. Marble on silver. They have a light silver color with a darker spiral pattern, as if imitating marble coloring. This group includes peach main-kun. These cats have white hairs, and on the tips of bright redheads. Thanks to this combination, a gentle-peach color of the wool is obtained. With white spots, first of all, it should be said that spotted main kuns are not a bicolor. Bicolor, according to the international standard, this is when the ratio of white and colored wool on the body of the animal is 1: 1. Maine-kuna can have the following types of white spots: "Buttons" - are small-sided chaotic white spots throughout the body of the animal; "Medallion" - a spot noticeable, located on the breast of the cat; "Gloves" - a speech about the white legs of the animal; "Van" - almost white maine with colored spots on the head and tail; "Harlequin" - on white fur, large colored spots. There is also a "Tuxedo" color. It is not included in the international classification, but is often used by the owners of animals. It implies white paws and an animal breast against the background of the other colored fur, while white and colored fur are usually contrasting.
