MC colour?

Hi there, looked at his pics, in coonies you only get smokes on the solids (red is an exception) but you can get shaded on the silvers but not the browns and this 'usually' carries from the parents. If parents are a silver and a brown, what you will get is a tarnished (sometimes heavily) silver which quite often will end up as a 'black silver' due to black being in both brown and silver tabbies. He doesn't appear to have any red in his coat so that rules out a Mosaic and his mum would need to be a tortie. His photo's suggest he is a black silver which also reduces the clarity of his coat pattern. Hope this helps. Myke :)

Thanks Myke! I guess he just has alot of tarnish lol! He's special to us
So it makes no difference, its just nice to know when people ask.
When he really small he had no silver, so it may be that as he grows,it
Comes out a little more.

Thanks again : )

He is a black silver with tarnish. The silver gene in cats is the same as grey in humans so basically an inhibitor of the pigment in the hair shaft. Tarnishing is when the inhibition isn't complete and the background colour comes through instead.
Hope this helps.

Ahhh that makes sense of his hairs being silver along 3/4 of the
Length and just brown on the tip. Thanks guys... : )

Pleased my neck remains safe.....!

Absolutley lol! you were right! :) I almost feel like I got two for the price of one now....
Black silver tabby in disguise as a brown Lol!

I'm not an expert but he looks like a silver tabby with tarnishing. My (silver classic tabby) Rasputin has a bit of brown colouring on his nose and I was told that's called tarnishing :)

Rasputin is one handsome cat. Thanks for that, its so hard to belive
He's actually silver tabby as to most he def looks brown.
Even our vet put him down as a brown. The only thing that made me
Unsure was the silver in his tail, back of his head and undercoat.
