- dark shade similar to a beige and coffee color;
- medium purple - light, but with a purple tint;
- light purple - The lightest color with a pink tint.
The color of the eyes of a cat with a purple color can be amber, copper or orange. This combination of color of hair and eyes looks very beautiful. An amazing lilac shade of wool among the British appeared thanks to breeders. This breed does not have a gene responsible for lilac color - the shade appeared only due to the long efforts of scientists and breeders.
The purple color is obtained by lightening the chocolate color of the coat. Therefore, pets of lilac shades are one of the most expensive, and you can buy real British with lilac color only from trusted breeders.
Kittens

Content Rules
Proper care of an adult pet or kitten will save and prolong the health of the animal. The British need regular hair care: combing, bathing, grooming. The hair of cats of this breed is thick and short, and the animals themselves are very clean and carefully licked. But combing them is necessary in order to get rid of the lost hair, bring gloss and gloss to the coat. The cat, licking the fallen hair, swallows it.

Parenting
The acquisition of a kitten usually begins with a reservation. Then, only from 2 months of age can the animal be given to new owners. Why does it take so long? Kittens, like babies, are associated with their mother, and not just food, the first time after birth. Mom teaches them the first steps and many other things that are not visible to us, people. After 2-3 months, the kitten is ready to leave mother and move into a new family to live independently. In addition, for these 3 months, breeders teach kittens the tray, diet and claw point.
After the kitten has moved to a new house, it needs to continue to be raised. You need to feed your pet in one particular place and at the same time. After moving the toilet must first be installed in a place visible to the kitten so that he understands that his tray is with him. The tray should be gradually moved to the toilet, and after some time the kitten will only go to its tray in the place where it is convenient for you.
You should not feed the animals from the table, otherwise they will get used to climb on it and wait for the “snacks”. If you want to treat something to a kitten (something permitted), then put it in his bowl.
Nicknames
If you get a kitten with an impressive pedigree, then a long “catchy” name will be written in his passport. You can choose a short nickname based on this name or come up with a new one. To do this, observe a new family member for 1-2 months, study his character and habits, and it will become clear which name to choose.
Violet British with their beautiful coat color will have interesting, aristocratic and light nicknames. For example, boys can be called Zephyr, Lucas, Light, Iago, Chelsea. Girls will like nicknames like Olivia (Olive), Perry, Leda, Athena, Fury, Vega, Medea.
