Silver Tigruffz

This is the official page of the Silver Tigruff, an adorable breed I am trying to create using BMG standardz. The personality of this breed is so charming. They have the soft mew of the chinchilla, and the hunting ability of the tabby. Please help me create this breed. Go to the selective breeding page for details on how to send in your catz. This is a picture of Chris, a near-perfect Silver Tigruff.

Chris

Your cat doesn't have to meet all requirements perfectly. Interested in helping? Here are the catz I especially need:

MALES
Any catz that look exactly like Chris
Catz that look like Chris but with dark brown whisker padz
One male chinchilla persian (maybe)

FEMALES

Any catz that look exactly like Chris
Catz that look like Chris but with dark brown whisker padz
Catz that resemble Chris but are slightly smaller

Confirmations

Coat Specifications: The coat of this breed is full, fluffy, long, rounded and smooth. The base coat is a soft silver/gray. Milk chocolate brown stripes cover the coat. The tail is bushy, gray, and has 4 brown dots in a row from the root to the tip of the tail.

Eyes: Eyes must be golden brown only to earn a 3. Anything else earns 0.

Paw Pad/Eyelid/Inner Ear/Whisker Pad Color: Eyelid, whisker padz and inner ear should be the same color of milk chocolate brown, matching the stripes, except that whisker padz can be cream also. Paw Padz are a mouse brown/tan color. All this earns 3, anything else earns 0.

Height: Not set in stone, but height should be between 2.5 and 3.5 points. Chris is 3.2 points.

Ear Type: Chinchilla Persian ears earn 3, Tabby earn 1, anything else earns 0. Don't be alarmed if kitten's ears are huge, Chris's were way to large for his head and he grew into them!

Muzzle Type: Muzzle must be that of the Chinchilla Persian. The whisker pads are wide, and the profile is rounded. This is a 3.

Body Type: The Silver Tigruff body resembles the Chinchilla Persian, but slightly bigger. This earns 3. Make sure the feet aren't too big, this is a 1.

Leg Type: Chinchilla Persian earns 3, anything else is a 0.

Disqualifications: Short coat, no stripes or different base color. Not purebred.

Purebred: Catz must have Chris in the backgrounds of both parents to be called a purebred Silver Tigruff.
