Hmm... I guess that's a no.


The little grey one w/out stripes is getting lighter, and the one with stripes is too. They're gonna be pretty! All of them will be, of course.
This is so much fun.

The lighter colored ones look like they're lilac points or lynx points (eithor siamese mix or burmese mix). Since i don't know what their parents were, i have no accurate way of telling. But like someone else posted, they are definitely the colors of cuteness! They are soo lucky to have you taking care of them! Keep up the good work (hehe and take some more pictures of those little furbabies
)

Hmmm... the color of cuteness. I think that should be a new official color.


Let me make sure I understand this correctly... if they are solid, like a Burmese, they will have green or yellow eyes, and if they are pointed or mink, they will have blue or aqua eyes, right?

Well, you are just going to have to keep all of them so you keep posting pictures here for the next year or so.....

I wish! I will be demanding that the new owners send me a one year update pic and letter, though.

Pointed cats have blue eyes, minks have aqua...both beautiful!

Thanks, clixpix!

Okay, I've finally decided on what I think they are going to look like. I am willing to make a virtual bet... and have a stupid sort of icon to go in the sig of whomever guesses correctly. In a week or so when it's more obvious what their colors will be, I'll post pics and a poll. How does that sound?


I'm not telling anyone what I think they will be... it's going to be a surprise!

A pic or a kitten?


I'll just post the poll in a week or so... all the good pics I have are already in this thread, so if you can't view them, let me know and I'll send them.

So, I have a suggestion about color. The thing is, my understanding is those kittens CAN'T be cream. Mom's a grey. That means any boys have to be black-based. The girls could have red, but they'd be calico since mom is grey. (Still doesn't explain it really, since Ziggy is the father, right? So how did cream end up in the mix?)

So, I'm wondering if those oddly colored ones are calicos that just have grey on areas that are usually points...do you know the genders yet?

...or we can just give them more time to grow up.

Oh, thanks! Does anyone know the answer to her questions?

I can't figure out sex yet, but I think all the cream ones are boys. Would what you're saying matter so much if they are really pointed? I assume that pointed cats are both male and female... and that both males and females can pass it on, and that it isnt necessarily expressed.


The cream ones have grey spots on their bellies and grey tails and such. Could they be blue points, solid blue (Burmese style) or Tonk blue mink? Or blue lynx?
