    What is Hector??

    Before anyone gets clever, I know he's a coonie but what I want to know is what is his coat pattern called. Roxy I am pretty sure is a blue smoke but I am curious about what sort of tabby Hector is.

    The pictures are of them enjoying the garden this afternoon.What is Hector??-2108-003.jpgWhat is Hector??-2108-005.jpgWhat is Hector??-2108-016.jpgWhat is Hector??-2108-022.jpgWhat is Hector??-2108-023.jpgWhat is Hector??-2108-014.jpgWhat is Hector??-2108-019.jpgWhat is Hector??-2108-018.jpgWhat is Hector??-2108-021.jpg

    He he I think Stoke may be a little out of your way lol, I started to wonder when I was looking at the photos after I had taken them, he loves having his picture taken Roxy on the other hand nearly always looks grumpy!!!I know someone on here will be able to tell me what his pattern is.

    From what I can see in pictures 4 & 5 he looks as if he is carrying the classic pattern so silver black classic tabby,should be on his pedigree certificate though & that will prove me completely wrong....x

    Even a hobby breeder can take on a prefix & provide you with paperwork, but have just looked at babe pictures & he definately has the classic pattern but doesn't look so silver so could be he also is a blue,what colour are his pads....? Roxy is a solid because he hasn't got the eye make up,if he is a smoke he will be a silver colour down towards the roots of his coat & in his pictures he does look very much like he is as his face has the darker look that smokes have, we will all be knocking on your door to have a look....x

    Hector looks blue silver classic tabby to me and Roxy is either a blue solid or a blue smoke. It's difficult to tell from the pics. I would need to have a proper look at the undercoat to be sure. Blue solid would be blue to the roots, blue smoke would be pale at the roots (silver). Hope this helps. Either way they are both smashing x

    I don't know for sure but maybe this website will help:
    Maine Coon Colors

    They have photos there of many/most colors of Maine Coons...

    Hey my Maine Coon is named Roxy as well!

    I have tried to get a pic of Hectors pads but he gave me such a look I gave up! His pads are grey with undertones of pink!

    We have had another photo shoot in the garden so I will post some more pics.
