My little foster cat has coloring I’ve never seen before and I’d love to know what it is.
My best guess is seal lynx point with white spotting, but I’m not sure what to make of the white hairs sprinkled throughout her body or the dilution on her hind leg points. When I brush her hair on the brush are mostly creamish fluff but I did find a couple of light hairs with dark tips (no actual banding). Her ancestry is unknown.
What say you all?
If I were to describe this color to a vet’s office I would say white, the predominant color, and grey tabby.
For myself I would lean more to white and diluted torbie (diluted tortoiseshell with tabby stripes, usually on the feet and head). I don’t know how to insert a photo but I had a diluted torbie once but with a lot more cream.
Pretty kitty!
Very pretty!
Blue eyes? Siamese mix. Lots of those out there now.
Pinto!
Hopefully the cat will not be offended if I simply say “a brown and white cat”? “With blue eyes.”
I would call this cat a tabby, he has some siamese in there, but only enough to give the blue eyes and the odd fur color in patches. Other than that, I would call her very pretty.
No additional suggestions on color, but thanks for introducing me to the concept of L-shaped scratchers. One of my cats is a vertical scratcher but doesn’t like sisal, and my carpet tower is totally worn out, so I’ll probably give this a try.
Grey
Thank you everyone! I actually was hoping to understand what genetics would lead to this particular coloration. She is indeed a beauty!
