And if so or not, what's going on with this coloring?
The first pic is a few weeks younger than the rest.
So she seems to have a bit of a mask and darker paws/tail/ears, but the rest of her body is more the color of a solid lilac cat than the paler shade I'd expect from a pointed cat. But the dark mask spread from a nose dot to a fuller face area, as I'd expect from points. I can't tell yet if the eyes are just kitten blue or are actually blue.
The rest of the litter contained a blue lynx point, and some non-pointed dilute bicolor&spotted cats.
So what's going on? Is she lilac, and if so, how did the mask come about? Is she pointed, and if so, why the darker coat? It's summertime, so it's not temperature (and the definitely-pointed cat is snowy in the non-point areas, and maybe had somewhat paler eyes). The rescuer didn't see her as a newborn so doesn't know if she was born white or not.
Anyone with more knowledge of pointed kittens able to solve the mystery for me?
