My cat had kittens. She is a himalayan and the dad is a himalayan/persian.

I can't tell what kinda of cat they would be consider. Mom is a seal point and dad is a flame point. They seem to have a silver coat with dark brown almost black points. Does anyone know what they would be called????

Please help! E-mail me at [email protected]

Not sure of the coat color without pictures, but if you have those colors as points, you'd have seal point (m), seal tortie pt (f). How old are the kittens?

Tayna, with pointed cats you have a whiter coat-especially with young kits. The seal/sealtortie points will usually end up with a little darker coats- maybe that's the color difference in you saying "silver".

You might have to wait on the female getting the red color in - but with those parents you HAVE to have a tortie as mom and dad will give her the color and they are both carrying a different color.

Seems that the girl does have a ting of red in her , but definately not much. They literally have like a dark skin and their fur is silver.
Really silver!!!! But put up against mom (seal point) they don't look like her except for the points).

Do you know how I post pictures up on here so you could see them?

Not really - I'm trying to post pics too. Anyway I have strange kittens too and can't explain the color changes. I had blue tabby/white kittens when born; they developed points up till 6-8 weeks (seal) and now the kittens are black/white with faint points.

Blue just cannot change to black...or so I thought - weird color genetics going on now.

I've seen himi kittens like that before. Usually the parents are darker coated in the shading. Were they born white tho?

The kitten coat may shed out to a lighter color (hopefully). I don't call it siilver.

Yes...they were born like an off white (more like a dirty white). They have just kept getting darker.

Tanya I have no idea - my kittens are weirder then yours. I have no clue as to what is going on genetically now...this defies explanation so far. I have a breeder friend who is good with genetics - she's working on it.
