White British cats: breed description and content

In the modern world, you can find a large number of cat breeds that were bred artificially. Among them, it is worth noting the white British cats, which are very popular among many animal lovers. And this is not only due to their incredible beauty and docile nature.

It is worth noting that all snowy Britons are very handsome thanks to the combination of white and their plush fur. This color assumes the absence of any other shades, except for white, both in cats and in cats of the British breed. Purebred Britons should not have any smudges or traces of "smoke". In addition, these cats have pink eyelids, paw pads, and the tip of their nose.

And also some kittens, whether it is a boy or a girl, may be born with small dark spots. However, after a while, the spots disappear, and after a year the cats become completely white, that is, albinos.

The W gene, which is responsible for the white color, is very unusual. After all, he does not dye wool white, but only masks all other shades well. In addition, this gene is also responsible for the shade of their eyes.

In some cats with blue eyes, only one eye has this color, while the other can be painted in any other color. Most often it is a yellow or orange tint. However, the number of such unusual animals is limited, and they are called royal. There is such a belief that such individuals can bring good luck to their owners.
