Question
I have a cat. The tip of his ears, the very tip of his nose, and his tail are a creamy golden color, he has ice blue eyes, vocal, and he has med length hair on his body but the hair on his tail seems to be shorter than his body hair. he is 10 weeks old. ( what kind of cat is he? )

Answer
It sounds like he may be a flame point or cream point (color description)....but without paperwork, it would be difficult to ascertain if he is a purebred until he is older.  Kittens change a  LOT the first  year.  If you can get a picture of him in about 5 or 6 months, I may be able to take a look and give you an idea if he appears to be a purebred kitten or not.
