A lady moved into my block of flats recently and she as three Persian cats they are beautiful , she doesn't have a PC so she asked me to take some  pictures and get your opinions on colour.

What's great is not only have found a new cat mad human friend but I get to cuddle these bundles of fluff

Wow what beautiful cats :rbheart:

They all have the colour point pattern.

Molly - is a seal tortie colour point ( I can see a red patch of colour on her front foot and on her chin, so this tells you she is a tortie )

Doodle is also a seal tortie colour point. You can clearly see the red patches on face.

Little baby - he is a seal colourpoint ;)

Are you sure Doodle isn't a DILUTE tortie point, i.e. a BLUE CREAM point?  It looks that way to me, but maybe that's my screen.  You can tell by the paw pads, if they are seal brown and pink it's a tortie point, but if they are slate grey and pink, it's a dilute tortie or blue cream point.

PS - I'm a recovering Himalayan breeder from the old days when the breed was first being developed, when it was actually a breed created by crossing Siamese and Persian.  Now it's just considered a color class of Persian.  Ours had noses and looked more like the Ragdolls and Birmans of today.  I say recovering breeder -- was always an ethical breeder, never had too many, never caged them (although the boy did not have the run of the house), but over time as I got more into rescue it didn't feel right to bring more cats into a world where beautiful healthy ones who were NOT purebreds didn't have enough homes....so I neutered everyone, placed some in pet homes and kept some.  My first queen (Ch. Chengali's Helena of Chalimar -- I think she was born in 1968) lived to be 19 1/2.  I still love colorpoints of all kinds.

Yes, Doodle is definitely a dilute tortie point (also called blue cream point), no question about it when you see the two together.
