2. Silvers and Golds 

You can also find silver and gold Persian cats in Chinchilla Persian cats, although many consider that Chinchillas are a separate cat breed, but there are some countries that consider this a special type of Persian cat. This type of cat has most of the silver and white color in the lower layer and black tipping evenly on the tail, body side and back, head and ears. Tipping is a term to indicate that only the tip of the fur is colored, or in a chinchilla cat one-eighth the length of the cat's fur is black on the outside.
