GCCF Standard of Points

Tortie Colours

Colour distribution is random and immaterial though a solid foot is not permissible. Ticking, ear tips and tufts, facial markings, top and tip of tail, toe tufts and heels to be a mingling of the standard ticking colour and that determined by the sex-linked gene. Chest, belly, under tail, inside of legs and breeches to be a mingling of the standard base coat colour and that determined by the sex-linked gene. Presence or absence of a blaze is immaterial.

Withhold Certificates or First Prizes in Kitten Open Classes for (additional to General Type Standard):
1. Solid foot
2. Absence of contrast sufficient to obscure ticking
3. All other withholding faults as in the Somali General Type Standard.
