My cat, Casper

This is my cat, Casper. He is one of the kittens of our outside cats. My mother took his calico(tortoise shell) sister, and I gave the rest away to good homes.





And these are him as a kitten:

OMG what a cutie casper is adorable

I love the name Casper

Was it the sun or did I see faint orange stripes on his tail?!

It surely wasn't the sun
You DID see orange stripes. They actually aren't that faint.

Two of his brothers/sisters were orange cats, so I guess he has the gene.
Those stripes didn't start appearing until he was about 2-3 months old, and they are still getting darker and darker (he is only 18 weeks old.)

His ears also have an orange tint.

Otherwise, he is completely white.

What a handsome little boy!

What a stud!

He could very well continue to darken as he ages. Perhaps develop more orange on his ears/face/tail....

What a little cutie he is.

Although I am a little biased toward the white cats, your Casper is just gorgeous!! The tail really does it!! Thanks for introducing him.

Awww! Casper is made for the camera! Gorgeous little feline!

Thanks guys for the wonderful comments!!

Casper says, "Thanks".
--At least that's what I interpreted it as..

Awww, Casper is such a precious little boy!! Too cute!

Ooh, he has that same pretty pattern you see on flame-point siamese... I think it looks better on him, though, because the way they breed Siamese these days they look so stretched out and skinny--I like the traditional body type way better

So, roundabout: He's beautiful!!

If color is coming in on tail, feet/legs and ears/face, then you've got a pointed kitten - either will be a red or cream point! Pointed kittens don't get the color till a few months old - especially red/cream - they come in very slow compared to a seal/blue point. They are born white

Aww what a sweetie!


Oh and From a fellow floridian!

So is a "pointed cat" a type of coloring, such as calico, etc??
Do you know off the top of your head of any threads on here that discuss "pointed" cats??
Thanks!

Oh my word what a little beauty

Yup! It's a type of coloring. Any type of cat can be pointed--you can have a pointed calico for example. In your case, you have the point pattern on top of a red tabby pattern, giving the cat red tabby points.

Yes, this is an old thread, but I just wanted to update that Casper is now almost completely 'peachy'!
He has orange all over his body, and it's not in spots. It's like his whole coat.
