Khao Manee coat colors and patterns
One color IS the content: pure white, with the interest moved to the eyes, in four classes converged on by three separately read standards (TICA, CFA, CCA-AFC): blue, gold, green, or odd-eyed. The one concrete nuance almost no page carries: all three standards allow a small color headcap on young cats until exactly 18 months of age. That is why a kitten with a head smudge is not automatically disqualified. Our identification page covers the whole checklist.
