British Shorthairs are sometimes called British Blues, but actually come in a wide variety of colors and patterns - including solids, tabbies, torties, calicos, bicolors (with white) & even shadeds & Pointeds. They come in such "exotic" colors as Chocolates, Goldens, Cinnamons, & Fawns in both solid, tabby patterened or with white. Sadly, CFA has chosen to ignore these colorations patterns, even though they are accepted thruout the world & are VERY popular.
