Today the Persian Cats have number of different color coats and as such they have to be put into certain category to make it somewhat easy to recognize them.
The Persian cat families have been further divided into groups according to the color of their coats to make it easy for people to recognize them. For example you will find Silver Shadowed, Golden Shadowed, Cameo Shaded and also Red Persian cats.
The majority of the Persian cats are white with usually layers of different colors on just the tips of the coat which is technically known as ticking. But since there is a lot of mixed breeding the coats of the cats can develop into totally different colors like blue-cream.
Likewise another color that has developed for the Persian cat is red which now accepted is to be the color that occurs in ordinary cats unlike albino whites which are considered very rare. It is not a vivid screaming red, rather an almost orange or rather ginger color, which can vary. This means that the cat could either be all red or could have traces and hints of either white or brown ticking. Mostly however, red Persian cats tend to be completely red.
The coat, lips and chin of the red Persians are red. You will find that the nose leather and the paw pads are brick red while eyes have brilliant copper color which is entirely unlike the Silver Shaded or Chinchillas which have green or blue green eyes. The beautiful black rims around the eyes will give an impression that they are wearing eye makeup which is common in all Persian be it Silver Shaded, Chinchillas or Red cats.
The red color can also occur in patches along with other colors and generally these colors are cream, white and cameo. For example the Smoke Tortoiseshell Persian cat possesses an undercoat that is of a white color and is deeply tipped with black and rather prominently defined, and rampant patches of red and cream ticking that form on its coat, similar to the pattern of a tortoiseshell.
It is absolutely enthralling to see this breed of Persian cat with various color patterns out of which some have cream ticking on the face or have a pure red face which is very popular.
According to the pedigree the red Persian and the Tortoiseshell cat have copper colored eyes. The rest of them from the similar breed like Silver Shaded, Golden Shaded or Chinchilla have eyes which are actually green or blue-green.
Except for the long and fluffy mane that the Red Persians tend to have, they have similar features like other cats of Persian variety like sturdyand short legs, strong body, punched face and dark rimmed eyes. Their lips and chin are red colored.
