Today is Meezer Colors Day. I am not a Meezer but I do have similar colors. I am a chocolate lynx point (also called tabby) Birman. As many of you commented on my Wordless Wednesday photo, Mom says I have AMAZING whiskers too.
CHOCOLATE TABBY POINT: body ivory with little shading. Pale body coat is desirable, preferably free from body markings; however, body shading of light ghost striping toning with the points is acceptable. Points, except for gloves, milk chocolate markings on a light bronze agouti background. Solid markings on the back of the hind legs should be a milk chocolate color, warm in tone. Tail color, with the exception of the rings, should be milk chocolate in color. Nose leather: pink to brick colored outlined in chocolate to tone with the points. A solid color nose leather to tone with the point color is acceptable.
There should be a clearly defined “M” marking on the forehead, light-colored “spectacle” markings around the eyes with spotted whisker pads. Ears are solid with no stripes. “Thumb marks,” which are less apparent in dilute colors and kittens, should be visible on the back of the ears. Ear furnishings in front of the ears should be off-white in color. The legs should have clearly defined, varied-sized broken stripes and/or rings. There should be solid markings on the back of the hind legs above the laces. A tail showing lighter and darker rings is preferred, but such markings may only occur on the underside and should not then be faulted. The tail may be ticked. The chin may be light-colored but not white. A light-colored “bow tie” should be evident just below the nose.
