Hi. This is completely for fun, but I had 6 foster kittens born 2 weeks ago. 3 dark tabbies (mama is a brown tabby), two grey tabbies and one white, who is clearly going to be a colorpoint. She has already developed a dark grey nose and grey tail. I'm curious what type of colorpoint she will be though, as I am starting to see striping on her arms and legs. Does that mean a lynx point? Or do lilac points have striping in their grey? know I will find out eventually, I just like to wonder about it. :)
I'll post some pics of her below.

Definitely lynx point! What a cute little baby :> hard to say if she’ll be seal lynx or blue (the fancier term for grey) quite yet, though, as she could darken significantly with age.

THanks! I'm excited to watch it develop! I didn't realize there were variations of lynx point as well.

I think a seal point would be darker at this age, and her nose looks slate-colored. Since she has blue tabby siblings I think she's probably a blue lynx point. It'll be easier to tell in a few weeks.
