A brown baby cat is currently conquering the hearts of the TikTok community.
The chocolate tigers are not only considered beautiful, but are also relatively rare.
Have you ever seen a solid brown cat?
If not, you are in good company.
A large number of users react in amazement to the TikTok video of Lord Biscoff – a Chocolate British Shorthair and comment: “There are brown cats?” or “I have never seen them before”.
In fact, brown house tigers are relatively rare.
Coat color in cats is a science in itself
As a rule, cats have three basic colors: black, red and white.
The pigments eumelanin for black and pheomelanin for red are responsible for this. White occurs when no color particles are present.
If the pigments are diluted or weakened by the dilute gene, unusual coat colors can sometimes occur.

One of the most famous breeds of chocolate-colored cats is the British Shorthair.
It is characterized by a large, round head and large eyes.
She also has a robust and stable body shape and relatively short but plush fur.
She is considered calm and balanced and is an extremely uncomplicated and pleasant roommate.
You can find out here whether coat color and character are related.
