Kim - that description is a big vague and it is hard to tell what they are talking about without a piccie! I did a bit of "sniffing around" and found that the "Cameo" colour is more often described as caramel, cream or buff. It is often hard to tell the different between caramel and more recognisable colours like flame. It is a very hard colour to define and most people think of it in these terms: "it's not ginger, but I still don't know what the hell it is!"

A good example is the maine coons - have a look at this cutie:

In his coat, you can see the darker shades of "cameo" - they are almost red - and the lighter shades which are closer to your kitty's coat.

It is a bit hefty, but interesting nonetheless! Enjoy!
