Category:Black silver tortoiseshell cats

English: Black silver tortoiseshell coat in cats; instead of having fully-coloured hairs, silver cats only have the tips of its hairs coloured, while the roots are white. Due to the silver, the ground colour is cool white to light-grey, while the tortoiseshell pattern is still made out of black and orange markings.
Black smoke tortoiseshell is only applied to solid tortoiseshell coloured cats, for clear tortoiseshell tabby markings the proper terminology for this effect is black tortoiseshell silver tabby. Smoke cats can have faint (“ghost”) tabby markings.
