Not sure what you would call him. He looks like a mix between tabby and siamese coloring, having darker ears and tail.
A seal tabby?

Colors can vary a lot from one monitor to the next, but from what I see on my monitor I would say he's a cream mackerel tabby. Cream is the dilute of red (orange). Mackerel is the striped pattern and can occur in any color.

Thank you, I've never heard of cream tabby. His stripes are a mix of very light tan and very light gray. Also he has seal points on his ears and tail. Just describing in case it looks different on anyone's monitor

I can't decide if the kitty or the little girl is the cutest. They are both adorable.

Are his eyes blue?
He actually looks like a blue lynx colorpoint, though he could possibly be a seal lynx since points darken with age.

I, too, have no insight as to official color/pattern, but that kitten is TOO CUTE!!
He has such a precious little sleepy face!

Oh, I remember reading about the lynx points, yeah I though that was a possibility too. I guess we will know if his eyes stay blue?

Thanks for the input.

To me it looks like Seal Lynx Mitted (it got white paws)... Or it could be Seal Lynx Bicolor, because it got the white Triangle on the face.... Hum.... Experts???
I have a Seal Lynx point girl, Lucky - Here she is for comparison:

My kitty is a lot lighter than that, do you think he will darken that much?

Yeah - yours is a kitten - they are born white with very light light points... almost fully white
Then they get darker and darker with age... I got Lucky when she was 8 months old, and she was much lighter than today at two.

I can't see on the picture, but her nose, is it brown, or gray? Gray is usually a Blue Lynx or blue point (bicolors can have pink too, but that is not the case w/ yours), Brown is usually a Seal Lynx...

I think it has to do with the color of the nose leather. Hard to tell in these pics.

Oh my - That kitten has got to be one of the cutest cats I have ever seen in my life and I've seen plenty!
And the kitty seems to match the pooch(color)
