Is Picasso more than just a DSH?

[Draco]

I am looking at Picasso, and she seems.. different.. than other cats. I can't quite place it. Her muzzle doesn't have the typical "smile".. she has more of a "

" type of smile. her eyes are more almond shaped than rounded, in comparison to Monet's. She's vocal, but her voice is near silent. I can barely hear her little squeaks, and her purr is louder than any other cat I've ever met.

Her ears seems a bit bigger too, but I am not sure if that's the kitten still in her or not. She's about 7 months or so.

What do you guys think? I am thinking a bit of siamese?

Sorry about the grainy photo. took it with my iPhone


I know she's a DSH, but I'd be interested in knowing what "mix" she is, lol

Nay siamese, but she is probably a look alike a Turkish van.

Nice this too!

Congrats to such a beautiful furry friend!

Had to look up a Turkish Van. She does look very similar! Except she has short fur and a few spots on her body, lol. not a solid white body! And she hates water, LOL.

I'd think she's a part Turkish Van by the looks of it

I think it's the rare DSH in the US that doesn't have some Siamese in it.

At one time, Siamese cats were one of the few common purebred cats. So many of them were bought and bred without much concern that their genes are extremely common in the general populace. It's not unusual for two very non-Siamese cats to have pointed kittens in a variety of colors. We see them all the time in the shelter.
