They have me confused.


I guess more than anything, I think they're pointed, and I don't think I could be that lucky! I have always wanted a blue-eyed cat.


But, I could be wrong.. so what do you think? They are two weeks and one day old.

Edit: Whoops... pics coming...

The grey inbetween the kittens is actually there, just not that blue-looking grey.
Notice grey/black ears and black nose.



This one is grey with boots, but his face is tabby and his fur does not have stripes, yet it has this high contrast color... is it a smoke? Or will he darken more?


Momma and babies... cute cute!


These colors aren't very different from how he looks in real life according to my screen settings.


Looking around for one of the first times I saw them do this.

A couple of the creams ones have grey spots on their belly, one of the cream ones has boots and a white belly (thus no spots), and one of the cream ones just has light enough fur to where you can't see it unless you spead his fur... it's very light.

It's hard to tell. They are so little yet. Their litte grey ears are adorable though. The grey one may end up being smokey actually, but sometimes I've noticed that if they have tabby striping it shows up later on.

I'm so bad at this kind of thing... they sure keep us guessing!


They've started to want to be fed from the bottle, and they purr after they suckle, fall asleep in my hand, and rub their heads into my face... it's so cute! They are starting to like human contact... and they are only two weeks old. I'm still amazed by all this.


I have no idea which one I want to keep...I have it down to three, but any of them still have a chance to grow and change even more.

I can't wait to see what their adult, or close to adult coats, will be.

I've been just as excited watching my sweet babies grow....Pandora her fur has gotten more orange spread throughout the black and more small teeny white and orange spots are showing up in between her toes (save the one orange foot she has).

Pearl, it was just a question of just how long her coat will end up being. Thus far, medium fur, though longer on the tail and I'm waiting for her points to start darkening (if they do). I do believe Pearl is a Lilac point. Not sure if her back will start to get more coloring as some Siamese do or not.

Kittens are funny things with regards to fur color....whatever color your babies end up being, they are going to be gorgeous cats.

I felt that way about the litter of 4 ferals kittens we took in last year. Gosh each of them were adorable.....and it was amazing to me, the entire litter was male. (I figure that prolly the feral mom may have had more that didn't make it, we'll never know).

I love teeny babies...

Absolutely gorgeous! They really are starting to look more burmese than anything, at least the cream colored ones. Kind of like a champaign burmese.

That's what I keep thinking, if they are something like that, then they are mink or solid like a Burmese.


They are the color of cuteness.... sixdruple cuteness! And they smell of little kitten smells.

Yep, there's definitly some Burmese in these kittens background. And the little greys will be smoke colored cats as adults.

Their tabby markings on their faces, legs and tails will get more pronounce as they get older.

Still don't think they will be pointed but they do have an unusual cream color. At first I'm thinking possible cream smoke, but who knows.

My best guess on their coloring is "pretty" colored!
Obviously I don't know what I'm talking about. They are udderly adorable, though!

Keep one of the white-ish ones!

Do cream smokes have dark ears and tails and such?

Here's a website for determining Smoke & Shaded color in Persian (will be the same for other breeds).

http://www.pandecats.com/x/smoke_colors.htm

Here is what it says on Cream smoke;

Undercoat white, deeply tipped with cream. Cat in repose appears cream. In motion the white undercoat is clearly apparent. Face, legs and tail, cream with narrow band of white at base of hairs next to skin which may be seen only when fur is parted. White frill and ear tufts. Nose leather and paw pads: pink. Eye color: brilliant copper.

-----------------------------

So because of the kittens paw pads and nose leather I don't think they are Cream smoke.
