Cats have long conquered most people not only with their appearance, but also with their affectionate character. However, the red-haired beauties deserved special popularity among them. And this is not in vain, because many legends are associated with them and will be accepted.

Color features

Real red cats are a rare beauty. Few people know that cats with a red color in nature are much less than cats. But this is all true for pure-red pussies. Meanwhile, they can be multi-colored or even striped. And red stripes or spots can be combined with black or white colors. Stripes and spots are both barely noticeable and very bright.

Solid red color mainly belongs to males, in addition, it is usually thoroughbred cats. This phenomenon is caused by some genetic characteristics of animals. However, a similar color also has some specifics: it is a marbling shade and often found stripes. This dilution of shades led to the appearance of a new color, which came to be called "coffee with milk."

If a baby who was born inherits from his parents not only a red gene, but also a dilution gene, then the kitten’s fur will not be brightly fiery, but, on the contrary, will acquire a beautiful cream color.

Eye colors

If we talk about eye color, then green cats given by nature. But the orange or blue tint of the eye appeared in them as a result of the work of some specialists. Most often, the combination of copper eyes with a red color can be found in purebred cats, and all this happened thanks to the work of breeders.

Kittens' eye color appears only after some time.. Therefore, to predict their shade is almost impossible. For example, if the kids have brown eyes, then over time they will acquire a bright orange color. Yellow can also become orange, but grayish can in the future acquire a deep gray or bluish tone.

Character

In a few words, it is almost impossible to describe such pets. After all, a red kitten can be gentle and tender, like a dandelion, and as fast as a fiery tornado. Their behavior is so unpredictable that the owner will not cease to be surprised at new manifestations of character. Especially the cat attracts attention when it is still small. At this time, the animals are pretty playful, and literally do not sit in one place.

In addition, they are very fond of playing with children, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl. Cats forgive a lot for their small owners, and they, in turn, are drawn to them.

In addition, ginger beauties easily get along with other pets that live in the house.

What breeds are there?
