Cat Breeds Guide

Have you ever wanted to be able to make your cats realistic, but interesting? Are you intrigued by the world of unique cat colors and patterns? I've put together this guide to help pick a breed, coat color, pattern, and more for your OCs to make them believable but fascination appearance wise.

Coat Colors
There are technically three cat colors. Black, white and red.

Let me explain. Black and red can be "diluted" aka made lighter or changed in hue slightly to make more colors from just black and red.

Here are those dilutes:

Black
Pure black is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Cats this color have brownish highlights and cat have any degree of whitespotting (more on this later).

Blue
This isn't actually bright blue. Blue cats, also known as "grey" are a straight dilute of black and can range from silver to dark grey to slate-blue. They usually have green or amber eyes.

Chocolate
Chocolate cats are another dilute of black. they are a dark, "chestnut" warm brown. They can be more black or more tan depending on the breed.

Lilac
Lilac cats, also called lavender, frost, and platinum, are a dilute of chocolate. They are pale brownish grey with pink or pale violet hints. These are pretty rare and aren't very likely for warriors unless they were escaped kittypets. Not that you can't have a lilac cat, but it's best to use them sparingly for wild born clan members.

Cinnamon
These cats aren't officially recognized as a coat color,b ut I thought I should include them jst because they are totally possible. Exactly what a cinnamon cat is is controversial, but most define it as a warm, reddish brwon-sienna color. Like lilac, cinnamon is quite rare.

Fawn
These are a dilute of cinnamon and are pretty much a light, orangish beige color, maybe with hints of pink. Again, rare and not likely to show up as a solid coat color, closer to a tabby.
