A true example of this color is pure red and exhibits no
tabby markings. This is almost impossible to breed and
the majority of reds do show some markings,
particularly on the face. In the best of show cats the
markings are largely hidden by the diffusion of the long
haired coat. The red was originally reffered to as the
Orange, but because the deep red coloring was most
favored this variety's name was changed to Red.

Daily grooming is essential to keep
their coats beautiful. At first they
were Angora type, but from the
mid-nineteenth century Angoras
were interbred with Persians to
produce the contemporary white
Persian. As a result the Angora

Color is a pure glistening white.
Nose leather and paw pads: pink.
Eye color: deep blue or brilliant
copper. Odd-eyed whites shall
have one blue and one copper eye
with equal color depth.
