If the cat is a hairless breed, you don’t have to try too hard to find out the color of its skin.

But what if the owners of furry pets want to find out this information?

We will share with you a method that will help you find out what skin tone your cat has without harming the animal.

Cat skin usually has a natural shade of light pink to dark gray-brown, which is most clearly visible in hairless areas such as the paw pads, nose area, or inside the ears.

To avoid making a mistake, it is better to look at the cat's ears, since the nose and paws usually have a brighter, more intense color compared to the body.

Another interesting fact: the pattern of the fur is almost always clearly imprinted on the skin.

Blondes and blondes have evenly colored, light pink skin, red cats have a shade closer to sandy beige, and black cats have grayish skin.

If you have a tabby cat, you can be 99% sure that it has the same tabby skin, while owners of spotted cats can be sure that their pet's skin is "spotted".
