I am not a breeder and don't plan on becoming one, but I love everything about cats and I'm trying to understand the genetic connections between Oriental Shorthair (OSH) and Siamese cats.
I have a neutered, male OSH and the same breeder from whom I adopted him has a chocolate-point Siamese girl that I'm thinking of adopting. This girl apparently has one Siamese sibling and numerous OSH siblings. My question is can a single litter include both Siamese and OSH kittens? Is the only difference between these two breeds the coloring/patterns?
Thank you for your help,
Carlie
