Colorpoint Before & After Photos

[calikitteh]

Would anyone be kind enough to post photos of how your pointed kitties evolved over time? I've seen a few here and there but can't find a thread on it. So curious how ours might turn out!

Edit: To help with the progression, here, she's about 18 months old, as the temperature-sensitive albinism begins spreading across her torso and back:

The changes in the snowshoes are amazing! I can't believe how dark they got over time compared to those baby pictures, especially along the back.

That's The Evil, spreading outward from their black Snowshoe Hearts.

C calikitteh - You have a couple of beauties! It's hard to tell since monitors differ so much, but is your pale kitty a Caramel Lynx Point?

thank you! i think the one on top is a lilac lynx point (his stripes are pretty grey in reality) and the one on the bottom is a dilute calico point. foster fails from an orphaned litter...we did some volunteering this year with a meezer rescue and i couldn't believe how many beautiful, friendly kittens are dumped at shelters.

Speedy, just before I adopted her, at 7 months old. This is the only photo I have of her this young. You can see her back and torso were very light, a lot of white with some tan on the back fur.

Soon after I took her home, Speedy's coat quickly became darker on the back. I do not have any photos until now, six years later and you may see how her fur has changed.

It seemed like the changes in her fur happened almost overnight in fall 2012, soon after she was adopted. This would have been around 8-9 months of age that these changes were going on (estimated from the information I was given on her age).
You can see she has retained a lot of white on the chest and abdomen.

Reylan Gibbons from 6 weeks to 1 year. He is still fairly light across his body.


Tiberius from 6 years to 9 years, I rescued him as an adult so sadly no baby pictures.

did Tiberius get fluffier from 6-9 years or is that the difference between summer and winter coat? in any case, lovely kitties!

 

[kristenann]

C calikitteh while he does have a difference between his summer and winter coat he definitely got fluffier! He was in really poor health when I adopted him with a wicked ringworm infection.

are you sure he was 6 years old when you rescued him?

C calikitteh Thank you!

thefiresidecat No we do not know for certain. We were given a suspected range of 6-8 years and the vet agreed with the assessment so we went with the low end of the range. He did undergo a pretty dramatic transformation though!
