Another word to cinnamon:
Cinnamon is a new and rare color.
It was discovered in the OKH group of the breed cats.
This color is much lighter than chocolate and has a warmed reddish
touch.
The color of the nose and the pad is colored pink.
The badges have to be colored even. The colors
mentioned above also exist in tabby, which means
that the points are not fullcolores but that they have a line
drawing.
With badge means that the mask, ears,
legs, feet and tale have another darker color than the rest of the
body. The mask consist of the nose, whiskerpad, the space around
the eyes and the forehead. The primary color is the rest of the
body surface. The Siamese cats reached their color after about a
year but they darken on their back after a few years. The hair becomes
thicker because of fluid retention. That's why some body region
get less fat and so they have a better heat insulation. |
