Does anyone think my tuxedo cat may have some siamese ancestry? He has a pointy face and a long tail. Thanks, just curious
P.S. His sister had the same features but she was silver tabby in colour.

A kitten after a siamese, mated with a non point, will usually NOT be pointed, unless the other significative is himself a carrier of the point gene... If so, half of the kittens in the litter will be pointed, half non pointed carriers.
The nonpointed kittens will get their looks from the other significative.
So, your cat MAY be after a siamese, but there is really no strong indicium for it. Unless you do have also other proofs or indicies...
The body shape isnt very alike modern siamese.
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply I really don't know a lot about Siamese cats, other than their beauty! My cat has a strong muscular body, which I wasn't sure is too much like a Siamese. It's just his face and long tail that made me wonder
Thanks again.

Ah, a descendant from say, a russian blue, could also have these features... Or quite a few "common domestic" too...My cat has a strong muscular body, which I wasn't sure is too much like a Siamese. It's just his face and long tail that made me wonder
My old Russian Blue was a blue pointed kitty. It still happens from time to time!
More than likely your kitty is a plain domestic shorthair, unless you know something about his ancestry. The possibility is there, though.

Thanks both of you Yes he is a domestic short hair but I was just curious because sometimes these "moggies" can mix with certain breeds somewhere down the line
