Siamese Cat?

Ratatouille (Touille) claiming her napping spot

We have just adopted a kitten that looks siamese, but neither parent was a siamese cat. The father is a solid black cat and the mother is a black and white marbled cat ( sort of looks like a calico without the orange). The litter was a total of 4 kittens...two mostly black cats with white paws and belly, and two siamese looking cats. Is it possible for my kitten to actually be siamese, or did we just luck out and get one that just looks siamese?

my cat .
by: sara

I got a female cat 2 years ago and she is a striped plain jane cat then she mated with my other striped cat , they had 1 long haired kitten that really looks like the one in the photo above . Then the same female cat mated with a long haired black cat and had one that looks more like a Siamese then the previous one. She has alot of the Siamese qualities. Ive always heard them called a "patch cat" .

black cats are siamese cats
by: lozza73

I have just learned that black cats are Siamese cats. I have a siamese tabby and a siamese black cat (brother and sister). I know that their mother was a chocolate seal-point but I had always questioned whether the father was the same or different. But I have been told that all Siamese seal-points are essentially black cats with albinoism but for the albinoism to be present, the kitten needs to inherit it from both parents as it is a recessive gene. It is therefore perfectly plausible that both the tabby and the black cat are part siamese themselves(but with one siamese parent and one moggy parent) but mating together produces seal-point kittens as well as black kittens.

your kitten
by: Lynn

Well she looks Siamese. It is strange that two cats ended up looking like Siamese from two parents that did not look like Siamese.

She seems to have the Siamese genes, however she would not be a full blooded Siamese. That only means that if she was breed with a another Siamese the kittens may not all look like Siamese. But that is only important to a breeder, in your case I would just call her a Siamese. A cat with points and blue eyes MUST carry the Siamese genes even if she is mixed.

You can update me and send me a picture of her at my email address
