Cameo Persian or Longhair

Cameo Persian or Longhair

Several color varieties of this exotic longhaired breed now occur. Palest is the Shell Cameo, which has a very white undercoat and pale pink to peach-like ticking on the fur. The Red Smoke also has a white undercoat, but the hairs are more deeply tipped with red. The tips of the ears and the ruff are white. In between these two is the Shaded Cameo, whose undercoat is white but with the reddish ticking fading to white on the belly, chest, and chin. The Cameo Tabby has an off-white undercoat and is marked with red above. In all color variations the eyes are coppery, but they are deepest, almost gold, in the Red Smoke. The nose is pink and the eyes are lined with pink. This is still an experimental breed, but it is growing in popularity because of its attractiveness.
