White cats tend to be quite rare. This is because they have to have the genetics that eliminates all the other potential coat colors – and that is unusual. There are a number of specific cat breeds that give rise to blonde-coated cats, although in theory, a pure white coat cat is possible even with your average cat – it just doesn’t happen very often or the coat is actually a mix of colors rather than purely one color.
The breeds that tend to produce these cats are Devon Rex, Persian cat breed, Siamese, Turkish Angora, Turkish Van, and American Shorthair. If you have a white cat from any of these breeds then you might be looking for a cat names list to help you name your kitten. Check out our list for inspiration :
