Is She A Smoke Kitten?

[Jayne89]

Hi everyone We have a litter of 3 Ragamuffins one boy and 2 girls. One girl is blue the boy is blue but looks a bit different maybe blue smoke and other girl maybe black smoke what do you think? Dad is silver so smoke is possible.
Thank you.

What a cute bunch of snugglebugs. I don't think any of them are smokes, but someone else may have a different idea.

Thank you they black has some very defined markings on her plus a very light belly which made me question what colour she was as when she was born she was pretty much just black.

OK, first, I'm totally kittensmitten. They are cute to the point of absurdity!

Smoke...maybe. But the thing is that baby coats can change pretty drastically in the first few weeks. What I would suggest is putting this particular question on the back burner for 6-8 weeks, see how they develop, and then go from there! WHATEVER they do, I WANT ONE!


dere @jane89. She cant have one. Lubs, Hekitty, the current cat.

The 3rd one, maybe. The other 2 look solid.

OK, after seeing your other thread I think the black one might be smoke too. It'll be easier to tell when they're a bit bigger.

 

[Jayne89]

Thank you I think it will be definitely be easier when they are older.
They are very sweet kittens I cannot wait to see how they grow and change

Um...if you could post some photos as they grow, with their precious little tails showing, you would be feeding my addiction doing me a huge favor!

I will definitely update with more pictures and with tails too

My addiction to little, wodgy kitten tails is well-known. I just can't resist them. This is my favorite gif EVER:

Can you post a picture with the fur lifted so we can see the roots of the hair? That's really the only way to tell if a cat is smoke.
This is my black smoke (and white) girl. Just looking at her you can't see her smoke at all unless you lift the fur.

I'm not sure what they'll end up as, but they look darling!!

It may also be a trifle fever coat.

Oh really can fever coat come on as they grow and not effect their back etc? Her belly is light and legs but her back is black.

She has no lights roots but another breeder ive spoken to said it can take until they are 5/6 weeks to see especially in mid to longhaired cats.

This is a better pic. Here it looks more decivisely as smoke.

It's so difficult to get a good picture of her hopefully in a few weeks I will get a good idea of what colour she is.

 

[Jayne89]

Here are a few more pictures of her today she's very striking with her markings

Sorry more kitten spam!

THE PICS AREN"T LOADING...or not right now. I'll check back later. And there is no such thing as "kitten spam," only "kitten prime rib." As it were.
