Chinchillas are a type of the Persian cat and classed as a "silver" cat. They have a quiet, gentle nature whic makes them excellent around small children. Chinchillas should be groomed daily during cooler months but less frequently when not in full coat. Grooming only takes a few minutes and can be done while you're watching TV.

Description: Chinchilla's have an undercoat that should be pure white with the coat on their back, legs, flanks, head, ears and tail tipped with black. Their face and legs may be slightly shaded with the tipping but the chin, ear tufts, stomach and chest need to be pure white. Cream or brown tinge or tabby markings are considered a fault.

Their eye colour is emerald or blue/green, nose leather, brick red, outlined with penciling of black pads should be black.

Personality: Chinchillas are usually quite placid, quiet cats who are happy to just lie around the house being decorative. They're very affectionate and enjoy lots of attention and can many become quite attached to their owners.

Chinchillas are great for apartments or houses since many of them prefer spending their day indoors. Their long white coat does shed quite a bit of hair and even with daily brushing that helps to reduce the amount of hair shed, it tends to still cover clothes and furniture.
