Top photo is Spencer. He is a copper eyed shaded silver - a no no in the shows. I showed him as a kittens since his eye color had not come in yet and he did well. He is a snuggler when I go to bed -especially if the weather is cool. He is the father of the 2 girls in the following pictures. First is Zippy, who also has crummy eye color. Zippy is a sweet girl who will lay next to me in the chair, flat of her back making biscuits in the air while I pet her tummy. The next is Tabitha, sorely in need of a bath. She got her sires eye color and I love it. Of the kittens Spencer sired before I had him neutered, Tabitha is the most adventurous. Not much bothers this girl except she doesn't like being picked up. She wants all 4 paws on the ground.

Lynda, father and daughters are gorgeous!!
Awesome eyes on Tabitha!!
Beautiful, all three!!
Purrs,

Oh, Lynda, thanks for posting the family pictures. They are all beauties!

They are all gorgeous, I had a tabby named Tabitha too, love the color.

STUNNING!!!

beautiful cats, all.

I'm reminded of the oft repeated expression "a good horse is never a bad color"

That's the way I feel about eye color. Standard or no standard.

All beautiful
Stunning pics

Copper-eyed shaded silvers may be a "no-no" in the show halls, but Spencer is absolutely gorgeous in my book!! His daughters look like they inherited their daddy's good looks.

The ironic thing is I posted his picture on an international breeders forum I belong to. There were several breeders from the UK that emailed me and asked if I had girls for sale that he had sired. Evidently in some registries in Europe a copper eyed silver can be shown as a Pewter Persian. I am a little bit prejudiced, but I just love his look.

Prejudiced??? He is amazing!!! And so are his offspring.
