Today the Persian Cats have number of different color coats and as such they have to be put into certain category to make it somewhat easy to recognize them.

The Persian cat families have been further separated into groups according to the color of their coats to make it easy for people to recognize them. For example you will find Silver Shadowed, Golden Shadowed, Cameo Shaded and also Red Persian cats.

Originally the Persian cats had white colored under coat with layers of various color tips on the coat hair which is known as ticking. But now you can see completely new colors like blue cream due to cross breeding of these cats.

Similarly another color that has evolved for the Persian cat is red which now accepted is to be the color that occurs in normal cats unlike albino whites which are considered very rare. It is not a bright screaming red, rather an almost orange or rather ginger color, which can vary. This means that the cat could either be all red or could have traces and hints of either white or brown ticking. Mostly however, red Persian cats tend to be completely red.

The coat, lips and chin of the red Persians are red. You will find that the nose leather and the paw pads are brick red while eyes have brilliant copper color which is entirely unlike the Silver Shaded or Chinchillas which have green or blue green eyes. The gorgeous black rims around the eyes will give an impression that they are wearing eye makeup which is common in all Persian be it Silver Shaded, Chinchillas or Red cats.

The red color can also occur in patches along with other colors and usually these colors are cream, white and cameo. For example the Smoke Tortoiseshell Persian cat has an undercoat that is of a white color and is deeply tipped with black and rather prominently defined, and rampant patches of red and cream ticking that form on its coat, similar to the pattern of a tortoiseshell.

It is absolutely enthralling to see this breed of Persian cat with various color patterns out of which few have cream ticking on the face or have a pure red face which is very popular.

The Tortoiseshell Persian cat is the only one along with the Red Persian cat family who are pedigree with copper colored eyes. Whereas the other families of the Persian breed, like for instance the Silver Shaded, Golden Shaded or Chinchilla have originally green or blue-green eye color.

The only difference that you will find in Red Persian cats is that they have fluffier and longer mane but as far as other physical characteristics are concerned like punched face, short and thick legs, solid body, dark rimmed eyes are similar to the other Persian breeds. The chin and lips have similar shade as its coat.
