Hello all,
My 4 month old kitten has the colouring of a Chocolate Siamese cat, only very dark grey points. With the ice blue eyes and short hair. She was also born pure white and developed these points later on.
The strange thing is mum is my tabby girl mated with a pure black!! As far as i know there is no such colouring in either cats history, obviously i can't go very far back!! But i have known both cats families for quite some time even before they were born.
Mum cat had one of these kittens in her first litter and two in the second (second litter being an accident, albeit a happy one!) I have had her spayed now much to the dismay of most people i know!!! The vet doesn't know how these kittens have come about just put it down to genes like i have.
I'd love to hear what people think!!! And if someone has ever had anything similar.

Ragdolls are born pure white and develop coloured points later on,cant really explain your case though as black is such a dominent colour i would say to achieve a cat this colour from a black and tabby was 99.9% impossible

Cannot help with cats - but dalmations are born white - the spots coming later - maybe cats are the same
anyone who knows = please tell???

Ragdolls are always born pure white and always have blue eyes,but black is such a strong dominent colour and tabbys have a lot of black too,a white kitten is extremly odd

It is really odd!! I will put a picture of her and mum up as soon as possible!!

Are you sure she mated with a black cat?

Absolutely sure, i saw it, twice!!! The other one a few days later, he is my friends kitty.

did mum cat mate with any other cats as well? as you do know that one cat can have a litter of kittens from different stud cats{fathered by different cats}
if she didn't mate with any other cats then I would say that somewhere along the line of the mother or father or both they had a cat of that colouring and it some how gets thrown when they mate.

It's not impossible if both parents carry siamese gene (pointing) - it is a simple recessive gene and there is no doubt that this is what has happened here. Quite unusual but the siamese gene is fairly widespread in moggies (siamese being precocious and all that, accidental matings do happen)
