Bicolour cats or bicolours have been known for a very long time. On shows, however, they are relative newcomers, because they were originally considered street cats of unknown origin.They can be Black-and-White, Blue-and-White, Red-and-White or Cream-and-White; the latter are the rarest. Breeding a bicolour that meets the breed standard is a difficult matter.

It is prescribed that the coat pattern should resemble that of a Dutch rabbit, with symmetrical colour patches on the head and body.

The biggest problem is symmetry; one rarely comes across a perfect Bicolour Persian. If the goal is achieved, however, such a cat receives a lot of appreciation at shows.

Grooming:

Daily grooming is necessary. A bath before a show is a must. Powder, however, should not be used or as little as possible, because it reduces the contrast between the colour and the white.

Breeding:

Bicolours are obtained by mating two Bicolours, a Bicolour with a Tortie-and-White, a Bicolour with a solid-coloured cat or a solid-coloured with a white. Bicolour males are considered the best sires for the production of Tortie-and-White kittens.

Bicolour females make excellent mothers and the litter consists of a colourful assortment of 3-4 kittens in all the above-mentioned colour patterns.

Kittens:

Bicolour kittens are strong and can later produce almost any colour kitten in breeding, depending on their own ancestry and their partner.

The kittens are large and mature early.

BREED STANDARD:

The Bicolour Persian must have a bicoloured coat of which no more than two-thirds may be coloured and no more than half white.

The colour pattern must be symmetrical, with colour patches on the face, head, back, flanks and tail. Permitted colours are Black-and-White, Blue-and-White, Red-and-White and Cream-and-White (the latter is rare).

Faults are tabby markings and 'brindling' (scattered white hairs) in the coloured patches.

White is desired on the underparts, chest, feet, legs, chin and lips, while a blaze on the face is preferred.

A white collar is permitted.

Nose and paw pads usually pink and otherwise according to the coat colour. Eyes deep copper to orange.
