Can you tell the difference?

The biggest and clearest difference can be seen on the chin and the "eyeglasses", the rims around the eyes.The kitten on the left  shows these areas sandycoloured, but the kitten on the right shows them in  white.

These are exemples of Maine Coon kittens, but this colorphenomenon can be found with any catbreed (or non-breed) that sports the red colour.  

The examples above are quite clear, but generally the difference is not easy to see. For one, the colour may also vary with age and the season. Then, some kittens "start" tabby, but grow darker in maturing.

Here is my own Extra Orange as a kitten. Her solid colour is less clear and was suspected to be red-smoke (her dad is a cream-smoke) She is genetically a mackerel, does have very little marking and  is quite light in colour.

Here she is, as and adult:

Showing the animal "live" to an experienced judge can be helpful, but these days one can also have the cat tested genetically.

Please go to the Links-page for links of Laboratories that do these tests.
