Be Sure To Buy Your Chocolate and Lilac From a Reputable Breeder
You have your heart set on the beautiful lilac or chocolate kitten. Unfortunately, many breeders who are advertising lilac and chocolate kittens don’t actually have lilac or chocolate kittens but blue kittens or seal kittens. Many people have purchased a Ragdoll that is registered as a lilac or chocolate and are not so be very careful!
Characteristics of Lilac and Chocolate Cats
If the color of your cat is truly important to you, here are some tips to help you recognize the difference between lilac and blue cats.
 The paw pads and nose pad of lilac cats are cotton candy pink; and the paw pads and nose pads of chocolate cats are a rose or cinnamon pink. If you want to be really, really certain that your cat is lilac or chocolate, look for pink color on both the nose and paw pads.
Both of these colors are dilute colors, meaning it should be very light.
A lilac kitten is a very light, frosty gray, which actually glows with a pinkish hue. This is even more noticeable when the kitten is held up and viewed in sunlight. The ears seem to show the pink color even more than the rest of the cat.
A chocolate kitten is a very light, milk chocolate color.
The fur of a lilac or chocolate color point cat is glacial white. There should be no hints of blue on the body.
To be lilac or chocolate, there must be chocolate or lilac in the pedigree of the cat. You don’t accidentally get a lilac kitten from two dark parents. If in doubt, ask to see the pedigree of the kitten.
Chocolate and lilacs are rare colors!
Insist On DNA Testing
We will not say our cats and kittens are lilac or chocolate (or even carriers of lilac and/or chocolate) without sending a DNA test to UC Davis for confirmation. So, when you get a lilac or chocolate kitten from us, you will know that it is a true dilute.
We usually have a wait list for upcoming kittens soon to come available.
If you'd like to get on our wait list,
please email us: kittens@dcdollsragdolls.com for list details
