British Shorthair Color Codes Guide

This document provides a coding system for cat coat colors and patterns. It includes 8 categories for basic color, tortoiseshell/tabby pattern effects, pointed/sepia/mink patterns, silver/smoke/shaded patterns, any color or white, and eye color. Each category has a code to succinctly describe the cat's traits, such as WH for white fur and B for blue eyes. The codes are used together to fully identify the cat's distinguishing physical characteristics in a standardized way.
