Siamese Or Mix?

[ss9lr]

My cousin just got a new kitten, Lola, and I was curious on what breed she could be. She looks to be mostly Siamese with gorgeous medium blue eyes but she has white feet, both front and back. I've read about the Snowshoe but wasn't sure if there existed any without the white marking once the face. Lola is about four months and looks to be a little larger than I would have expected (my 4mo Himalayan mix looks like such a baby compared to this one, even with all her fluff). Lola has a pretty short and smooth coat, other Siamese that I have seen in person seemed to have just a tab bit longer coat. She's also quite thin with long legs. I was also curious about how dark her points are already at 4mo compared to my Himalayan. There's such a start contrast between her points and the rest of her body with almost little to no gradation. I'm just interested in hearing any opinions or ideas on what she could be! Thanks!

Yes, she's a mix of some kind. My best guess would be some Birman influence, they have the points and white feet (called the pointed mitted pattern). Even though Birmans are longhaired, longhair is recessive to Shorthair, so it's possible for longhaired cats to have shorthaired descendants. Short of a DNA test, though, these are all speculations, so she'd be called a seal point mitted Domestic Shorthair. Pretty kitty!

ss9lr - Agreed completely. With no white on her face to lay claim to Snowshoe ancestry, Birman parentage is by far the most possible, and as abyeb has noted, the recessive shorthair exists in Birman bloodlines just as the recessive longhair persists in Siamese. This is one positively stunning little girl. Welcome to TCS!

If the hairs dont grow out, you can also compare her to a siamese old type - nowadays called often for Thai. Especielly if she remains sleek and gracile.
