Lol- my breeder friend told me I should stick to assessing animal behavior and training because Romulus does not have enough snout to be Himalayan nor Chinchilla and where do I see 3colors with that little tarnish? Guess she told me - rofl

She said he's a blue point Persian from what she can see and asked his age and weight- I said " I don't know" also said forget the clipped photo

Haha that’s you told! I thought Himalayan was another term for colourpoint?

He is 8 and about 4.5kg. He’s definitely a nice solid boy with decent sized paws. I was thinking perhaps seal lynx point would explain some of the warmer tones? Or even tortie but I wouldn’t expect to see that in a male. I’m sure he has lynx/tabby as it’s so clear in his face. His paw pads are all dark of that helps.

Yes,,she's a gold friend so we do tease each other alot.....I'm not sure she took a real good look because she did mention she was on the road going out of State to pick up a cat ( or msybe she said dropping off)so we will talk later when she's checked in for the night before heading back home

I'll be sure to tell her what she asked and will ask her to look closely .....

I did question what she said about the Himalayans and she said it is true that the Himalayan are a TYPE of color point the breed and very often interchangeable and always have blue eyes and color points because they are cross bred with Siamese BUT still as a Breed they do have big bones and more snout than the typical purebred Persian, I didn't know that

She also mentioned when colorpoints are clipped their hair comes back in darker.... makes sense because it's colder!

I'll just have her read the Thread tonight- I like to get others opinions and I regard hers highly .....

He is a gorgeous peke-faced fellow. My aunt was a superstar among Persian breeders. I don't have her knowledge, but I would have guessed Himalayan, too. He looks show quality, just from the pictures. Again, I am no expert. BTW, welcome to TCS! I hope you will make yourself at home and stay on our friendly Site.

Hi L Laura00

So I just got off the phone with my friend- she said she can see the stripes in Romulus' points and in the first photos it does appear he is particolor( 3) but the other photos you can't see the reddish tones so it hard to say if he's a Blue cream lynx point or a blue lynx point( so in natural light you would know)

She said he is not 'seal lynx" because he'd have a black nose( I didn't know thst either) & at his age his points would be pretty dark

So that's her input..... she said to tell you he is a beautiful male Blue Lynx Point Persian and wishes you and your cat good heath and happiness

Thank you so much for taking the time to investigate further for me, I really appreciate it. Please thank your friend too.

I didn’t think it was possible to get blue cream males though; but the red/cream is very visible on his head in daylight. Either way, he is utterly adorable and we love him so much

You're very welcome- I was very interested myself and haven't chatted with my old friend in awhile ,thanks to Romulus well be getting together Sunday

Apparently there are male blue cream lynx points and much like a male tortie they are 1 in 3000 so quite the prize IMO but I'm not looking to register or show such a kitty

Breed standard particolors according to CFA say tortie,blue creams,chocolate tortie and lilac tortie Persians are ALWAYS female

So in other words CFA considers the xxy chromosome a genetic fault & so registries refuse to recognize the male in parti- color division ,I suppose TICA as well,I didn't ask

Bottom line is if you're looking at a male tortie Persian cat or how about a calico or a blue cream lynx point and they say they are always female then I guess they aren't always female - lol. Right? Anyway that's how my wise a___ buddy replied to me..... Gotta love that gal!

And IMO you've got a gorgeous furbaby, a very special spectacular BOY - who is first place Grand Champion in your heart,he IS the prize!!!!! Blessings to you and your entire family(hoomans too)

That’s so interesting! As you say, if you’re looking at one, the do exist! That’s our little mystery solved!

He is very special and we are blessed to have him. Not all of the cats rescues together survived sadly so we feel we were meant to have him (further justifying having 5 cats!).

Thanks you, blessings to you too xx

I think a color point, however, Persians have so many different colors and patterns that I am not familiar with and they don't seem to follow the norm for other cats. He is adorable. He almost looks like a flame point to me with those red ears. But he also looks like a blue lynx point, I think seal lynx point can have rusty tones maybe. I think chinchilla can have stripes too. I think though chinchilla is a different variation of Persians, but I thought it was a specific coat color/pattern too, lol. He looks like a big poofy angel who is going to fly away in the photo where he is asleep, such a cutie

 

[Laura00]

Yes, he’s definitely a CP! Those red tones do make things confusing!
