This stunning cat is one I used to have back in college. I always wondered what you call the coloring?

I cannot give you an answer on the color, as I do not know myself. However, he (or she?) has a BEAUTIFUL color! Was this stunning feline adopted from a shelter, or elsewhere?

It's a she. Back in college I probably took in and rehomed maybe 50 cats over 7 or 8 years and she was one of them. She was rehomed long ago, she could still be around I do not know. She was really cool. I just got her from a friend of my boyfriend at the time who didn't want her.

I'm still in college. I have adopted two of my babies (each at two months old) from my local animal shelter near my school. I adopted my first kitten from at the start of my sophomore year. She is an orange tabby with a white belly. I try to learn more and more about cats each day. At first, I was looking for a purebred cat. Again, my knowledge of cats/dogs was limited at the time. That is until I stepped into my local shelter and saw all of the felines in need of a loving home. We are inseparable, it was one of the best decisions of my life to adopt her!

She's/He's definitely a Siamese outcross mix.

She’s beautiful! I would describe her as a seal lynx point classic tabby Domestic Shorthair.

Thanks guys! I have a dumb question though, how can she be lynx POINT if her "points" are all white? Well her paws and face anyway.

Some pointed cats have white feet, like Snowshoes. They’re still pointed cats, as they are born white and develop coloring later. White-footed kittens even sometimes appear naturally in Siamese litters. This article has some great info: Colourpointed Cats - Snowshoe, Tonkinese, Neva Masquerade, Opal, Masked Silver and Cross-Breeds

Ahh thanks so much!
The ones with white paws are called "mitted".
