Tail 



In the Persian the hair long and silky throughout, 

 but somewhat longer at the base ; Angora like the 

 brush of a fox, but longer in the hair; Russian 

 equally long in hair but more full at the end, tail 

 shorter, rather blunt, like a tassel. 



Size, Shape, and Condition 10 



Large, small in bone, looking larger than it really is 

 on account of the length of the hair ; body long, 

 legs short; tail carried low, not over the back, 

 which is a fault; fur clean and glossy, even, 

 smooth, and flakey, which gives an appearance of 

 quality. 



Colour 20 



Black, dense, bright brown-black, with purple gloss ; 

 blue, a bright, rich, even dark colour, or lighter, 

 but even in tint ; gray, a bright, light, even colour;
