Need some advice about the new sphynx

The breeder said I can have her in mid Sept if I have her spayed myself.
She also said we need to find out what color TICA considers her to be.
I think it would be easier if I sent a picture of her to TICA.
Here is part of the email and a new picture.

I know that TICA is weird about their colors… But CFA should do Seal / White Mink
Call them and ask - they will tell you.
I know…. I have a van calico and TICA would not reg. her that way but CFA did…

Hope she's giving you a discount if you have to do the spay yourself.

Why wouldn't she be the same colour in both associations? Usually colour questions are done in person, with judges looking at the cat at a show.

Maybe, could just be the lighting. Have you seen other pics of her?

Look at Cleos pictures from her breeder.
None of her pictures look like that.
I do not want to be cheated.

Looks okay to me, especially in the last pic. Ears are a bit dirty.

Could be the colour or lighting in the first pic.

She looks to me like she has the opposite of cross eyes... but it might be my impression only... She is really really really pretty

Blue eyed cats sometimes have problems with the bright light and can look weird at times (I remember my blue eye white rex looked funny at times).

I would think the color would be Seal Mink & White. That's what all the associations should call her.

And if she is a mink her eye color should be aqua - not blue (or starting to change a little in shading). How old is she?

I do agree that if you spay her, the breeder should knock about $75-100 off the cost since you will be putting that money out - not the breeder.

OMG! What a beautiful kitten! I don't know anything about show cats, but wow she is gorgeous from a layperson's point of view. And I am way behind the times, I didn't know you were getting a new sphynx!

She was born June 30th and her ears are dirty.
I have no idea why she did noy clean them.

Her eyes look a little funny, but I think it'll be ok. We had some kittens sired by Adonis who had odd looking eyes when they were young like this girl.

They were all perfectly normal looking by 10 weeks or so.

Don't Sphynx tend to get a lot of wax build-up in their ears rather quickly?

Bengals rarely develope dirty ears. I usually don't even check before I snap pictures.

That is oil in her ears.
They get dirty very fast.
The breeder was in a hurry to take the pictures because she promised me the pictures but has been very buy with her other business.

If I had to clean the smallest amount of dirt from all my cats ears , I would be at it all day for hours lol they do accumulate small amounts of dirt on the outer parts of the ears perfectly harmless,but If I was posting a FOR SALE photo yes I would certainly have had them cleaned Cute Kid and her eye's are fine !!!

Thanks,
Do not tell the sphynx list about her yet.
I only told a few people there.
I can go to the breeder house to get her but I do not have a cat sitter and my 17.5 year old cat has meds that she must have every day.
The bp med is very important and can not be skipped.
The breeders house is about a 8 hour drive from here.

Ai ai ai If I still lived in CA I would deliver her to you
Jacky -she is TOO CUTE!!!!!!!!
You know, I didn't like the looks of sphynx cats before, but Cleo has grown on me so much.... and now this little girl
Very cute!!!

Thanks Carolina,
It would be great if someone could even bring her halfway to me.
I have no idea if anyone is coming up this way though.

She is beautiful

Her eyes do seem a little weird, she might grow out of it though.

She is very beautiful, I never knew sphynx came in that color!

Congrats!
