Oriental Bicolour Breed Numbers

The breed numbers for Oriental Bicolours are slightly complicated, due to the large number of variations - they have been simplified as much as possible! (they follow the same series as the Asian breed numbers, but with the addition of the pointed pattern)

The basic breed number for Oriental Bicolour Shorthairs is 48
The basic breed number for Oriental Bicolour Longhairs is 49

The patterns (other than selfs and torties) are defined by a second set of numbers:

smoke	42
spotted tabby	38
classic tabby	41
mackerel tabby	44
ticked tabby	45
shaded	43
pointed	40

The colours are designated by letters as follows:

In addition, the basic number in non-pointed varieties designates a green-eyed cat
