How do you identify a silver tabby as a kitten?
Q. I ran across a kitten that we are likely adopting from a local shelter. They claim he is going to be a silver tabby, but he currently looks like a blue or grey tabby. How can you identify a silver tabby at 10 weeks of age?

A. A silver tabby will have black stripes against a white ground colour. Sometimes its difficult to see in a kitten. The best place to look for the colour and pattern is on its tail. Lift the tail; the underside should be white. Keep in mind that many colours can be silver tabby. So the kitten could be blue silver (blue stripes against white). In North America when we say just "silver", it does mean black silver. Silver is genetically dominant, so if either Mom or Dad are silver, then the kitten likely is. If, however, both parents are not silver and the underside of the tail is more of a buff or tan colour, then the kitten is probably not silvered.
