My aunt bred Persians, and to my knowledge a full-blooded one with markings like a Siamese is a Himalayan. Please bear in my I that I am not familiar Perzues Persians, so you can't really take my words to be accurate.

Sorry but I've never heard of a Perzeus. However, Himalayans are similar to Persians with the exception of the eyes which are bright blue and have Siamese colorpoint markings. Therefore, a Himalayan is a cross between a Persian and Siamese.

In some cat registries such as the Cat Fanciers Association, the Himalayan is a Persian and outcrosses with Siamese have not been allowed for MANY years. Himalayans are called colorpoint Persians now.
The posters kitten could well be a pure colorpoint, just not show quality type ( doesn’t make the cat any less adorable or lovable!) It could only be proven by registration with one of the registries.

Tx for explaining the cofusion, Perzeus is the name....

Himalayan Persians (ie pointed persians) tend to not be as much flat faces as the other typical modern persians.

So its not impossible he IS a Himalayan persian...

But if not, there are really no proofs for whatever, unless you have solid good registration papers or otherwise, a solid background history...
