It takes a lot for me to end up confused regarding basic genetics but this case has got me wrinkling my brow...
A family in Aveiro Portugal found a very pregnant siamese looking cat giving birth in their wood shed, she had 4 babies on August 26th 2015 which they ended up taking care of (momma cat included) while registering for urgent Temporary shelter (which ended up being my apartment) as soon as the kittens and mother were of appropriate age.
Mother - Siamese looking cat
Father - Unknown
Kittens produced
1- Siamese male (all 4 paws and nose leather of solid chocolate hue, blue eyes and typical points seen on seal pointed apple head siamese cats)
2- Siamese female (All 4 paws and nose leather of a solid Dark brown hue, Blue eyes and typical points seen on seal pointed apple head siamese cats)
3- Black and white Male (as shown in the picture, blue eyes and what looks like long fur)
4- Black male (the runt of the litter, long black fur with the exception of the tail tip which is white, he may be small at 7 weeks but his eyes look about the same shade of blue as the other kittens...)
1 - Excuse the pose, He hasn't quite nailed waking up gracefully... yet...
Kitten 2 ( She's a girl, she knows she's a girl, she makes sure everyone and their shoes know she's a girl)
Kitten 3 ( )
Kitten 4 is under veterinary care and not with me atm (hence the lack of images). The best I can do is the following
Now the curios bit....
Both Kitten 1 and 2 *the siamese pointed kitties* have what looks like very faint shadow tabby stripes all over their body that only show up with flash or when they move under daylight...
??? How on earth are they color pointed and have shadow tabby markings??? What is kitten 1 going to turn into when he get's older???
