The European Shorthair cat typically has a medium-sized body. Its ears can be pointed or rounded inward, and its eyes are round with an oblong pupil. Eye colors can range from dark blue to bright green. The tail is of medium length, thick at the base, and has a rounded tip. The coat of the European Shorthair is short, dense, and glossy. It comes in various colors such as black, red, blue, cream, with or without tabby, tortoiseshell, silver, or white markings. Solid white coats are also possible. Among the coat variations, the tabby coat is the most prevalent, with colors like silver tabby (black markings on a gray background), chocolate tabby (black markings on a chocolate background), and red tabby (dark red markings on a light red base) being common.
