Silverpoint gradient color:
During the breeding process for the Silver Tapering color, some cats develop a partial genetic mutation that produces the Silver Tapering accent color, or Silver Dot for short. The accent color gene is a lightening gene that produces an enzyme that inhibits true melanin. Accent colored cats are born pure white and as they grow, parts of them gradually show the color, such as the back and tail.
And this lightening gene causes the cat’s eyes to turn blue. British Shorthair (Longhair) cats with the accent gene. The base color of the hair is white, and the tip color is very light, showing smoky grey and pan-brown, usually after 4 months the point color will slowly appear, but it is only one-eighth – one-ninth of the tip color, and the point color will appear on the back and tail, and the tail is slightly more.

feed
First of all, if we want to raise a good silver gradient layer, we generally in the early raising, as far as possible to cat food to feed, so as to ensure that the silver gradient layer can grow healthily, because the general nutritional composition of the cat food is still relatively good, and often can ensure that the silver gradient layer will not appear to be sick and other phenomena.
After that, if we want to keep the silver gradient layer well, we wait until the layer has adapted to the new environment, we can feed a lot of food, such as: fish, pork, etc., these foods contain a lot of animal protein, which is still better for the silver gradient layer.
Then, if we want to keep the silver gradient layer well, we usually need to comb the silver gradient layer’s hair, this is also more important, so that the silver gradient layer’s hair can become shiny and beautiful, and also remove the dust on top of the silver gradient layer’s hair, so that we can keep the silver gradient layer well.
After that, if we want to keep the silver trophies well, we also need to give them a bath to make sure that they are hygienic, and this is also important because the bath can remove the bacteria from them and can make sure that they don’t get sick.
Then, if we want to have a good silver gradient, we also need to usually take the silver gradient out for a walk, because the silver gradient is a feline, they are in need of proper exercise, they tend to be very happy when we take them out for a walk, this is also more important.
Lastly, if we want to keep the silver tier, we also need to buy a cat climbing frame for the silver tier to keep at home, because if we don’t have enough time to spend with it, then we should buy a cat climbing frame for it to play on its own, and this is also more important.
