A new cat colour! - Catherine - 03-30-2025
There is a new colour of cat in the world. It first appeared in Finland.
After study they determined it is caused by deletions in the DNA.
The colour is called salty Liquorice after the popular Finish candy, Salty Liquorice

They really are quite different looking. I would love to see one, but I don't think there are too many of them.
For now we have to settle for pictures. I wish there were more pictures.
