This Persian variety bears some resemblance to the Chinchilla, as both breeds feature white coats with darker tipping at the ends of the hairs. These cats were once referred to as silvers; however, over decades of development throughout the 20th century, Chinchillas have become lighter, making the Shaded Silver distinguishable by its darker shading. Breeders of Shaded Silvers specifically aim to achieve the characteristic dark mantle that drapes over the cat’s back.
