New fur for Russians

[Catriona Donogal]

I was noticing that most of the kitties have several different furs/colors. The Russians have only 3 and the white is now retired. May I suggest a lavender or lilac Russian?

I think someone once said that the Russians won't have any crazy colours (which is such a shame!) cuz they are a 'rl-breed', while the non-'rl-breeds' can have crazy colours!

I'd love that but as JC said I believe kitties are not supposed to have unrealistic furs according to Kittycats.
Different from other traits such as colored eyes or surealistic ears, tails and whatnot that is something Kittycats allows us to breed for.
But maybe a lilac as in the siamese Lilac or lavender such as used in the Oci's is something they dare to challenge.
After all Pandie's and Foxy's are kind of a long shot as well when it comes to realism.
I believe those furs are based on a picture or two which displays a cat with markings which look a little like a fox or a pandie.
But besides those markings the Foxy's have a different nose probably a sort of Foxy nose as well and a bit fox type of nails at least the earlier versions of the Foxy's KC released had that.
Later they took away the littlebit different looking nails I believe.
Perhaps I love to breed for colored furs such as the Chateau Pink, depending on how it looks, but I'm not such fan of the Foxy and Pandie breeds.
I stopped breeding a starter a couple of times when a Foxy or Pandie fur was hidden and I ignore them on the markets as well
I think it is also a taste sensitive matter.
But if you mean Lavender as in the Oci Lavender and Lilac as in the Siamese and the Balinese they may like to bring such Russian.

EDIT I just noticed KC took away the black foxy type of nails from the earlier released Foxies as well the typical nose they still have.
I have an Auburn which I obtained because it has grass eyes I want to use in an other breed line.

They might, yeah, if it's that kind of lilac meaning, but I don't think I've actually heard of a russian with that colouration, the rl-breeds have colourations that the rl-breeds have. The Chateaus and the foxy and pandies are fantasy ones, that's why they can put in whatever colours they desire

Yes I think you are right.
The Pandie and Foxies might be the exception they made

[Catriona Donogal]

Yes that is what I was thinking, colors like in the Oci Lav and Bali Lilac. Not crazy colors. But thanks you ladies for your replies

That would be really lovely I adore the Russians the more the better

They keep the real life breeds to the breed standards for colors. So sadly the three colors we have for russians are all that are standard to their breed so we won't see lilacs or seals ect. because while standard to other breeds they are not standard to the russians. There is a thread asking for more fantasy colors like the Pink & White Chateau (which Chateau is a made up breed so could have fantasy colors) The only other exception to the fantasy colors is the Fancie Cats but as we can't breed their furs it sorta doesn't count in my mind.

Here is a link to the thread where we ask for more colors. http://kittycats.biz/forum/showthread.php?tid=7608

Personally, I think that the legendary Russian - Pink should be implemented, even as a Fancie fur. The legendary Russian - Pink is brought up time and time again in humor (I saw it in KC Addicts chat again just a day or so ago LOL) and it would be way too cool to have it as a nod to this recurring joke.

That would be super fun indeed
