I see a lot of references to Lynx Point and I in fact have a Tortie Lynx Point & a Seal Lynx Point Himalayan but I don't have a clue what Lynx Point means. Can someone explain what determines a Lynx Point, the breeder never did.
And once more, I learn something new everyday! I never knew points were temperature related.Originally Posted by kittymonsters
The "points" are the face, legs and tail. this is why siamese type markings are actually colorpoints.
the colorpoint gene is actually temperature dependant gene where the colder the part of the body the darker the color will be. Thus the "points" are colder and get more color development.
the Lynx or tabby part means the coloring is in the tabby pattern instead of solid. So stripped legs and tails, and the eyeliner and "M" forehead markings.
Looks like a lilac lynx point to me as well. We had several of them back in the ancient days when we were breeding siamese and OSH. Definitely not a blue, unless the colors are off due to the photo/my monitor.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
What's her parents - she looks more lilac point then blue point. Not all vets know what they are talking about when it comes to color.
