I am not an expert at all in cat breeds, so I thought I'd ask a couple questions here about my kittens. I know they are just plain old domestic cats, no formal breeding or anything. But I am wondering about their lineage because one of the females looks so different from her siblings. Max and Molly are both lovely dark-colored tabbies, Max being more on the brown side and Molly black and silver. But Molly has almost no stripes on her body, just a light gray coloring that fades to white on her tummy. At the points, though, she is darker grey with more distinct tabby markings. Also, even though her sibling eyes are beginning to turn from blue to greenish, Molly's eyes are still brightest blue. I've been looking at alot of photos of different types of Siamese cats, and she really reminds me of the lynx (tabby) point cats. Does anybody else see these characteristics, though muted...or is it just me? And do you think her eyes will stay blue like this? Regardless, I know she is going to be a lovely cat.

She looks like a light seal lynx point (or a very dark chocolate point). She should darken on the points as she gets older.

Not necessarily a "siamese" background, just that her parents were pointed or carrying pointed gene. With the tabby siblings, it would stand to reason she also would have the tabby (lynx) points as well. Tabby is a dominate gene, pointed is recessive
