Here's what "self" means in cat terminology:
* A cat with a single, solid color throughout its entire coat. This means there are no tabby markings, white patches, or any other variations in color.
* Examples of self cats: A completely black cat, a completely white cat, a completely orange tabby cat (but without tabby stripes).
It's important to note:
* Some cat breeds are more likely to have self-colored varieties, such as the Siamese or the Burmese.
* Self cats can be any color, and they're not limited to just black, white, or orange.
* The term "self" is typically used in the context of cat shows and breeding, but it can also be used informally to describe a cat's solid color.
So, if you're looking for a cat with a single, solid color coat, you might be looking for a "self" cat!
