What breed characteristics question

I know she has no papers and is a DSH but she is very unusual to find in a feral colony


Her back paws are the same off white/cream colour as her back fur rather than having the darker markings like the fronts and her tail has some darker patches on it

She appears to have Snowshoe patterns.

Actually, back before the farm cats were fixed - we had cats that looked similar to her for about 2 years running.

The colorpoint gene is recessive, which means that the parents doesn't have to be pointed themself to produce pointed offspring, they just both need to carry the point gene (which they will have if they have pointed cats in their lines).

I think she may be a dump way too friendly for the colony

No breed - the coloring is the same as the Snowshoe cats, but your cat is NOT a Snowshoe in any way.

He's simply a Seal Point & White domestic shorthair. He doesn't even have to have Siamese in him; simply the pointed gene from both parents.
