3822.0. "Cream Persian?" by CRBOSS::BEFUMO (Between nothingness and eternity) Tue Jul 24 1990 20:06

    Does anyone know whether the cream color is particularly desirable in
    persians?  Would it be significant in a show-quality cat?  Thanks.

    I spoke with a friend who shows animals.  She said cream is a good
    color for Persians.  When it comes to show, it'll depend on the
    over-all quality of the cat, but cream Persians are a class
    distinction.

    I know that in this area (new england) the competition for Persians
    is VERY tough.  There are alot of Persian breeders in this area.
3822.4Type over Color!ICS::GERRYHome is where the Cat isThu Jul 26 1990 13:2212
    As .1 said, when competing in a cat show, the overall quality is much
    more important than the color of the cat.  A cream colored cat should
    almost look "pink".  Each breed of cat is separated into individual
    color classes, so one color isn't "better" than another.  
    
    The largest classes seem to be Blacks, Whites, and Reds.  Although,
    that also varies from year to year, and what happens to be "in style"
    that particular year.  I can remember when a Red used to be a minority
    color.

    Reds weren't the minority this year, with two reds (okay, so one
    was a tabby :^}) in the top 20 cats nationally in CFA.
