Persian SMOKE and CAMEO The standard for the Smoke and Cameo Persian is exactly the same as for all other Persians. The coat of the Cameo and Smoke differs from other Persians in that they both have a silver hair shaft with a tipping of colour at the ends. This tipping occurs in different lengths. The tipping is pronounced most strongly in the Smokes it amounts to 2/3 to 1/2 of the hair shaft. With the Cameo or shaded  it amounts to 1/3 of the hair shaft. With the Shell shaded or Chinchilla, it amounts to 1/8 of the hair shaft, that no colour should go down the hair shaft and that there is no colour on the hocks.

smoke - Tipping 2/3 - 1/2 shaded - Tipping 1/3 shell - Tipping 1/8



The smoke appears to look like a solid cat in the Summer months. In the Winter when to coat comes in you can see the beautiful contrast. The coat changes throughout the year.Like all cats it looses its’s undercoat in May and is in full splendour in January/February. They are known as the cats of contrast. As Kitten shows the smoke cat often "reverse coat",  i.e. the Smoke is tilted to the outside. At 9 months the smoke cat to start to cover up, so it has with 12 months fully covered with her coat. If a kitten shows more reverse coat, so is better the contrast as adult smoke cat.

It is often maintained that by crossing two Smoke cats or a Smoke and Solid you will get Cameo’s.
But that not correctly. To produce a Cameo one of the parents has to be a shaded. Shaded can give you smoke, but smoke cannot give you shaded, because smoke is nonagouti and cameo is an agouti cat. It is therefore important for a Cameo breeder to know the basic genetics.
