Shaded Silver Persians are black tipped.   The shaft of their hair is tipped in black.  When they are first born all you see is the black tips making them appear dark.  As the hair grows they become lighter as the black tip moves away from their body and the lighter silver can be seen.

The  End

We hope you enjoyed the picture show.

All 3 kittens have gone to live with Patty in Holbrook, MA.
