    My siamese color has changed

    Google for photos of 'Mylynn Montoya' and you will see how dark they can get!  He is still winning shows despite being so dark.

    Breed of my cat?

    You are right, she's a black and white domestic longhair and very pretty.

    minimum age for hcm test

    I agree with them in principle, except that unless the recording is foolproof a swab is very cheap to do, and can be combined with other tests. I had my own breeding girl tested for PRA and what colour she is carrying for less than the cost of fiv/felv test which nearly all female cats in the...

    Two-week-old kitten's rectum area

    If you can get Panacur they can be wormed for the first time right now, so long as they are otherwise well.  From a website in the UK selling it: The inference is worm at 2, 5, 8 and 12 weeks of age.  I would use Milbemax over Panacur at 8 weeks and skip the 12-week worming, but do Milbemax...

    I am jealous of you meeting maewkaew, and in liking Oriental Shorthairs you are showing the best possible taste!

    minimum age for hcm test

    Swab at any age as the genes don't change. Scanning I have no idea about.

    Black or brown?

    Brown Burmese are genetically black, and have faint 'points' in the right light - their head, legs and tail are slightly darker. A Havana is nothing like that dark - I had one for several years who was a bit dark for the breed, and you can see how different his colour was.  This photo is...

    Are you supposed to wash your cat?

    You left the eggs, larvae and pupae behind when you moved and didn't take any fleas, hence no problem now... With the sort of infestation you are describing you need to treat all pest with a good safe effective long-term flea control, AND you need to treat the house.  Fleas lay some 50 eggs a...

    Cat won't use litter box after a year of trying everything, don't want to give her away

    Should add to make sure any behaviourist you consult is properly qualified.  I have no idea what the US professional body is, but Google will find it (or maybe them) for you.  You might also need your vet to refer you and send over a copy of your cat's notes.

    My Cat has Diarrhea and I don’t know how to stop it.

    Constantly switching food and/or things to try to fix the problem probably won't help. My own suggestion would be a very bland diet - chicken and rice for example - and if there are still problems after a week of nothing but that consult another vet. Your cat is up-to-date with worming?  I'm...

    My siamese color has changed

    All Siamese tend to get darker as they get older.  If he goes out he will get darker as well, as it's cold that makes the coat go dark hence colour on the ears, nose, paws, legs and tail.  And scrotum if it's a boy cat.

    What do you think?! What do I look like?

    The words you are looking for are moulting and shedding...  :) Shedding goes on all year round, moulting is when the winter coat is being lost in spring.

    Black or brown?

    It looks like his pads and nose leather are black, so he's a black cat who happens to be at the browner end of black. Very sweet boy, bet he is pleased to be in a home not a rescue.  His markings may continue to fade over the next few months - at 9 months old he is still not finished developing.

    What Breed is My Cat?

    No Munchkin, thankfully, as so far as I can see her legs are proportionate to her body.  Munchkins have very short legs for their body because they have a mutated gene. Hope she is neutered.

    cat pregnant ?

    Are you sure what date she shot out? If you are add 65 days though of course they can be a few days either side. If not they will arrive when they do.

    What Breed is My Cat?

    Like most cats she's no particular breed - suspect she's a domestic longhair with a nice fluffy tail.  Her colour is tortie and white, and she's got the Van pattern of colour on her ears and a bit on her head, and (I suspect) on her tail. She's a pretty girl.

    curious what breed my cat looks like

    The last pic shows her eye colour well.  It's really hard to tell what colour is with the cream as the photos are in indoor light.  And blue eyes normally go with being a pointed cat.  Tonkinese don't have blue eyes and it's also a very unusual colour variation. If you can manage a photo...

    breed?

    I think even the flat roof is a big risk if she comes back into call - many female cats are absolutely desparate to get out.

    breed?

    Domestic longhair, colour as you know is black & white. Most cats can get pregnant again very soon after delivery.  Hope you will be keeping her in until she is spayed.
