Red Solid, TICA and CFA Registered
Athena is very special to us. Born right here in our cattery as part of our very first Odyssey litter, she has always stood out. From the time she was a young kitten, we saw her great potential as a future queen, and we knew we had to keep her. Watching her grow from a kitten to a teenager, and now into a stunning adult, has been a true joy.
Athena is a red solid, which is a very rare color, especially for a female cat. The color red solid in cats is special because it fails to hide “ghost” patterns, the tabby patterns all cats carry that are typically masked if a cat carries two copies of the solid gene, like Athena does. There is a very subtle difference between red solid and red tabby cats, most noticeable on the cat’s chin: on a red solid, the chin will range from red to a slightly paler creamy color, but NOT white, and on a red tabby cat, the chin will be pure white (see red tabbies Calliope and Apollo).
