Without papers or a solid background story, you cant know anything.   Also, small kittens may be difficlut.  They usually do grow into their big ears.  Some other look quite alike a teddy bear. Not your...

But she has the looks of an  Orientale.  Or possibly, a fresh mix of a modern siamese.  A siamese, mixed with something else, her children arent points, but may still have the overall looks.

I dont think you can, if you dont got papers or this person gave an entirely reliable impression and evidence.

But she does looks like an oriental shorthair, so it may very well be true.

A good breeder belonging to a serious association  wouldnt never sell SO young kittens, but it seems quite common for BYB breeders.

Ahh okey thanks but what is the difference between kho manee and the foreign white kitten?

They are very energetic and cannot stay in one place. Their mother is pure white and their father is pure black

This increases the probability of them being Oriental shorthair for real.  They are solid color - colored.   (other solution are allowed in some associations but they are renowned for being solid color).

I dont know enough to give an reliable answer.   Its of course two entirely different breeds.  The khao Manee is a breed from Thailand, still fairly rare in the Western world. They are renown for different eye colors on the same cat.

Foreign  white is really an older descrition, from the time when the cat breeds werent really well described.  Their body structure was more or less of a Orientale shorthair of today.

And thus, I suppose some would call the Oriental shorthair for  Foreign cat, and Foreign white if it was of white solid color...  It may also possibley depend on the asociation in question.

Ps. This kittens has blue eyes.  I think they are blue because its still a very young kitten.   But there are breeds who can have the unusal blue eyes, without being points.

Im not sure, but I think Khao Manee is one of them.

What does it mean when they retain their blue eyes until adulthood?
