Traits

Sunshine (shsh) is a recessive gene that is similar to Wideband, however the cat is born as their basecoat and “warms” over time to a golden. Paw pads and tail tip remain darker in color. When present, the Inhibitor gene causes a cat to be bimetallic, appearing as patches of gold coloring that develop over time in a silver cat.

Although Sunshine is recessive, cats that carry the sunshine gene may be warmer in hue than they otherwise would be.
