Silver-Point vs. Silver-Shaded British Shorthair: What’s the Difference
Silver-point and silver-shaded British Shorthairs both belong to the shaded color family, but the silver point is a pointed variant with much lighter hair tips and blue eyes. The fastest way to tell them apart is eye color — blue means silver point, while green or yellow-green means silver shaded — and the silver point also carries a noticeably paler coat.
Is My Nearly 2-Month-Old Golden Shaded Male Kitten’s Nose Ringworm or Genetic? (Photo)
The nose shows suspected flakes and scabs—likely a skin issue, ringworm possible. A Wood's lamp showing green fluorescence means ringworm; then use an E-collar and antifungals, or see a vet if it isn't.
My silver shaded cat moved from city to countryside and is lethargic, sitting in the litter box for long periods, urinating only a little each time
This suggests feline idiopathic cystitis, often from stress after a move. Give more water, ease the stress with comfort or calming supplements. See a vet if no relief.
I bought a golden-shaded British cat from a cat cafe; she’s about a year old, recently had kittens and is still lactating, and her coat is sparse and dry—how do I supplement her?
Lactating cats with sparse, dull coats are often undernourished. Add lecithin, fish oil, egg yolk, seaweed powder, salmon, nutrient paste; feed chicken/duck/beef for protein. Also groom regularly, keep clean, and deworm.
Is this the right coat on a silver-shaded (British Shorthair) cat’s back?
From the photo this is not a silver-shaded coat; the pure silver-shaded's hallmark is the 'tipped' fur-white base with black tips on the back, head, tail, and outer legs-giving an even silver-white gradient. Overall shade varies with how much black is in the tips.
How old is this cat and is it a purebred silver shaded British Shorthair? First-time owner; seller said purebred 1-2 years but it moves slowly
From the photo the breed is a silver shaded British Shorthair, but purity cannot be confirmed by photo; purebreds have pedigree certificates. Teeth suggest an adult 1-2 years old.
My 5-month-old golden-shaded cat has had a runny nose and sneezing for 3 to 4 days, won’t eat, and now has clear mucus from its mouth
Yellow discharge, cough, and drooling suggest calicivirus or herpesvirus, or mixed infection. Test for both at a vet via strip or PCR and treat accordingly. If unavailable, give oral antibiotics such as cefadroxil or doxycycline with antivirals; use an oral antibacterial spray for mouth issues and feed soft food, with fluids if it eats nothing. Also rule out poisoning or foreign objects.
Silver-shaded fold cat: father silver-shaded (straight ears), mother fold-eared. The cat is 3 months old. I heard fold cats have a 100% chance of disease, only a matter of time. So I’d like to ask about the onset probability for a 3-month silver-shaded fold cat and whether it’s truly 100%. Thank you.
Fold-cat bone disease is genetic and very likely, especially from poor breeding, but '100% and only a matter of time' is unscientific - some never show. Manage pain and see a vet if symptoms appear.
How does a Golden Shaded (golden gradient) cat develop cheek jowls?
Golden Shaded cats cheek up fairly easily; feed more with chicken breast, goat milk, milk cake, nutrition paste, beef, freeze-dried and egg for protein. Give chewy foods to exercise jaw muscles. Because cheek fill is a male secondary trait, don't neuter too early; most start at 8 months.
What is the difference between a golden-point cat and a golden-shaded (Golden British Shorthair)?
Differences: undercoat color (white vs light or yellow), tip color (golden vs black), price (golden-point costlier), and eye color (sky-blue vs green or blue-green).
