Even if you did not see the advertisement itself, then on a pack with food or on bigboards in the city you could see exactly the cute round face of a cat. In the people these cats were called "color Wiskas". But the fact is that this color is nothing else,like the British marble. Therefore, when you call the nursery and ask about kittens, as in the advertisement "Whiskas", do not be surprised if you are offered a marble cat.

Like all Britons, the British marble is distinguished by small widely placed ears and round eyes.

But green eyes can be inherent only silver tabby. Also, the color of the eyes of cats can have a hazel nuance.

Marble color of cats has its characteristics, so be sure to study them so that you can choose the kitten you want. To begin, let's start with the fact that all marble British have a mark in the shape of the letter M on the forehead. This sign is inherent in all cats of colortabby. There is even an interesting legend about where the cat has such a mark on its forehead. It says that the Prophet Muhammad took a cat of marble color. Then the letter M. appeared on the forehead of the cat. And the name "tabby" itself originates from one of the districts of Baghdad - Attabia, which was known for its woven striped matter.

But not only marking in the form of the letter M is a distinctive feature of all British marble. On a fur coat at a cat it is possible to see symmetrical pattern. This seems impossible, since it is very difficult to create an ideal symmetry, but it is so. Let's start with the fact that the cat's shoulder blades have butterfly pattern. From this figure three strips thatstretch along the spine. On the sides there are three broad lines that form circles. Also on the chest is one or more bands that form a necklace. On the legs and tail there are closed ring marks.

If you want a kitten, like in advertising"Whiskas", you need a black marble color on silver. And so that you are not mistaken and you were not deceived, remember that the color of a thick cat's fur should be very contrast.

In addition to black marble on silver, there are also variations with chocolate marble, silvery chocolate, chocolate silver marble (here already added a third color: cream or red). In the latter case, only cats can boast of such color, since cats do not practically have tricolor, and if it does, then such an animal is infertile from birth. Also there is blue marble, blue silver marble, black marble. Some of the rarest are purple marble and lilac silver marble.
