Ruddy Cat

The shorthair cat family has a great amount of variation due to its readily available population that has participated in a number of breeding programmes. As one of the earliest breeds that were readily available, a number of finer breeding practices resulted in new variations. It is no surprise that the genes of the various cats would create spinoff breeds with slight variations. The tabby gene is one of the most obvious traits to sport as the visual differentiation from solid colour and bi colour is considerably large. The tabby gene is an exotic gene that has come from wild cats that held the markings that are often seen in the Tabby. While this might seem like a gene that can be very easy to distinguish, there is a degree of standardisation that follows identification of the Tabby markings. There should be a certain symmetry in the markings across the coat.

Another form of tabby cat comes in the form of the Ruddy cat. This is another form of cat that is referred to by a number of names. This encompasses its typical appearance tendency within the Abyssinian definition. The colour of this cat in particular is a dark shade of brown and will exhibit the typical tabby pointing. One interesting characteristic cat comes in the colour of its paws and other body areas that will show off a bright red. New owners will enjoy searching for the pattern that suits their personal taste while being able to explore different colour spectrums but the brown is the most common appearance of the usual cat. As with other cats, this Ruddy will feature rounded eyes that are typically golden or orange

Overall, the Ruddy is a great choice for new owners and the distinct combination of patterns, colour and eye colour will give some direction to an owner when picking a new pet. Other features of this cat will follow a typical structure including ears, legs and mouth are expected to be exactly the same as the other British Shorthairs. Owners will not face any issue with grooming either if a regular and easy regime is followed.
