Cats/kitten coloring

Question
I took in a stray cat that appears to have some Siamese characteristics.  One of her kittens is light gray, with slightly darker ears (it is only 2 weeks old). Do you think it will stay gray, possibly with darker ears and tail or turn black when it is older?  

Answer
Hi Kati,
No, it won't turn grey or black.  It will probably have the coloring of a seal point Siamese. The "points" ,which are the nose, ears, tail and feet will be a dark color, while the rest of the body will be slightly lighter.

God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
