Thread: What is Hector??

What I see is a black silver tabby ( classic ) no blue, the other cat is blue solid.
I breed a few black silvertabby's and I have a blacksilver tabby girl.
And Hector looks like her.

In the netherlands we bin all hobby breeders, but we breed with pedigree and all papers and test for the cats.
We named someone who is breeding without a pedigree a backyardbreeder, ore a breadbreeder...someone who make fake coonies...and make a lot of money to sell them as full mainecoon, but who tell you he is really a Mainecoon without papers? In holland we say its a houscat ( moggy ) with long hair

Roxy is a solid because he hasn't got the eye make up,if he is a smoke he will be a silver colour down towards the roots of his coat & in his pictures he does look very much like he is as his face has the darker look that smokes have, we will all be knocking on your door to have a look....x

ALL BREEDERS should be registered!!.... Lol.. you know my thoughts on this!!

Is this true for the reds as well? Mufasa is a rescue maine coon and apart from knowing that he is 'red' I have no idea what he would be actually classed as. His fur has a lot of cream in it and towards the roots and all of the undercoat is cream.

Yes that goes for reds as well,you can get silver/smokes in that colour too,makes it really exciting all the colour combinations that you can get in the MC's but sometimes can also cause problems trying to decipher the right colour description of them...!
