Cats that spawn with the creation of a village do not despawn, however, any additional cats that spawn within a village may despawn. Untamed cats spawn in villages as long as there are at least five claimed beds within 48 blocks and at most four cats within a 97×17×97 box centered around the spawn position. A cat can spawn if that block is less than 2 chunks from a village with fewer than 5 cats, or inside a swamp hut. A random player is selected (including spectators) and a random location is chosen 8-32 blocks away from the player horizontally in both directions and at the same height. find out if we have any silver shaded British Shorthair kittens available Read more British Shorthair articles.Cats can spawn every 1200 ticks (1 minute). We do get silver shaded kittens and golden shaded kittens from time to time. If you are a fan of these enigmatic cats, please visit our kitten page, or contact us for updates: Silver shaded British Shorthair kittens available These are dealt with in a separate article, but their colours also rely on the Wide Band and Ultra Wide Band genes. The Golden Shaded British ShorthairĪn additional development is the arrival of the Golden British Shorthair and, even more recently, the Copper British Shorthair cat. It is reported that breeding two very lightly shaded cats creates kittens who have almost no shading at all, so it does seem that there are genetics at play here, we just don't know exactly how those genetics work at the moment. Wide Band +++ for cats who have almost no shading at allįor each category the shaded portion of the hair is reduced so that for Wide band +++ cats there is almost no shading at all. Wide Band + for less darkly shaded cats It is also now yet known whether the gene, or genes, are recessive or dominant. It is not yet known whether the Wide Band is caused by a single gene, or by a set of polygenes. They are the supermodels of the cat world! The more restricted tipping creates a much lighter, whiter appearance in the coat. In a Chinchilla silver shaded British Shorthair, the shading is restricted to the top eighth of the hair, or even less.Ĭhinchilla silver shaded British Shorthairs are therefore what is often called ‘Ultra Wide Band’, or Wide Band +++. In non-Chinchilla silver shaded British Shorthairs, the shading covers around half of each hair, or more.
By combining both of them, we get a true Chinchilla silver shaded cat. So you can see that both of these genes have a very similar effect: restricting the darker colour to the tip of the fur. The Wide Band gene, or set of genes, restricts the tabby pattern even further, confining it to the very tips of the fur. The ticked tabby pattern is a tabby cat where, instead of the darker colour being banded in stripes all the way from the base of the hair to the tip of the hair, there is an ombre effect from base to tip.
The genetics of the silver shaded cat are far from understood, and we are currently working with researchers in the US to try and assist in developing the existing knowledge of their genetics.īasically, silver shaded or chinchilla British Shorthairs are usually: The genetics of the silver shaded British Shorthair If you love these magestic cats as much as we do, watch this space: we are expecting some silver shaded and golden shaded kittens soon! You are welcome to express your interest or make a reservation by contacting us. Please check our kitten page to see if we have any silver shaded kittens available. It is thought that the silver shaded and Chinchilla genes came originally from Persian cats, which is where the term Chinchilla comes from. A very good friend of mine described looking at our silver shaded cat as being ‘like looking at a diamond’. And then there are the eyes: vivid green, lined in black eyeliner and framed by a beautiful white face with nothing but the faintest of tabby markings ghosting through. This creates a shimmering, glittering effect as they walk. They have a bright white coat, with just the absolute tips of each fur being coloured. The silver shaded British Shorthair is a very unique cat. Healthy examples of this breed are very hard to find. Silver shaded British Shorthair kittens, also known as Chinchillas are striking.
