Redefinition

I guess we have to redefine the colours of the Metal-kittens... Each week I go through the coats thoroughly after signs of silver and that was what I did two days ago as well. At a short visit today, I realised just by looking at Nightwish from a distance that he must be silver! It shines through quite visibly between his dark stripes on the sides of his body. The coat on his back is also quite visibly silverish 2-3 mm from the roots. The same we can say for Dragonforce as well and perhaps the others will develop in the same direction during the weeks to come? OK, the silver is not perfect, but we hardly expected that anyway ;)

Have to add though that they are lovely both in type and temperament! Jeppson and Tiggy did an amazing work! Straight profiles, strong chins, lovely headshapes, nicely balanced bodies with good boning and tufted ears. It is difficult to judge ear sizes when they are so heavily coated, but when folded over the eyes (a measure that I use on kittens to at least have something to go after when comparing between litters), they prove to be quite fine in size! The tails? Well, we are hardly known to have tails reaching longer than the shoulderblades so why change the concept in this litter?! ;)
