Thread: Blue vs silver

My two girls are registered as blue tortie tabby with white. When we first saw them on the breeder's site they were described as silver tortie and white. I noticed on the colour listings for coonies that there isn't a silver tortie tabby although I've seen lots of coonies described as being this colour!

Not that it matters one bit, but I'm just curious.....is there a silver tortie?? And if so what's the difference between silver and blue?

Also our boy Sunshine is registered as red classic tabby with white. I wouldn't say he has any white but I'm guessing the little bit of white on his chin makes it so?

Probably really basic questions but I don't know!!! I'm still learning so much about coonies and pedigree cats in general after having had them for 16months - we had moggies before (life was so simple then..!)
