Hi guys.
I take care of outdoor kitties in my neighborhood. Recently one of the outdoor cats that I’ve raised since a kitten had kitties. The mama is a regular domestic American shorthair cat. Her mama is a tuxedo cat and mama had all tuxedo kitties except for her, she is a grey striped half white cat, she was also extra fluffy. She gave birth to 3 kitties, one that looks just like her, one black and white, and one colorpoint!! How is this possible? I am pretty sure this is a lynx colorpoint.
I knew he was different when I first saw him. His little eyes glowed red, unlike the others, and he’s a little crossed eyed- all traits of a colorpoint cat, his hair is also more brittle/harsh and than his brothers and he has started to toast more these past few weeks from where he started. His eyes are also still bright blue and his brothers’ are turning green.
Excuse their cute little dirty faces, they just ate in one picture.
So it’s my understanding that this is a Siamese gene, is that right? Siamese and lynx mixed trait? How do these cats usually come about? Is it typical for them to be one in a litter or born to certain breeds?

I'm wondering how the patterns I see came about. One local vet said the external genitalia looked female, but found scars where testicles were removed when he examined the cat under sedation.

The white blaze on his back looks like the white hairs are slightly longer than the other body hair.

This sweet little kitty is Cloud. She is about 3 months old.

I have a theory about Cloud, and I would like to know if there is any potential credence to this theory.

Back in the early ‘00s, I had a cat named Gizmo. He was a Siamese/Ragdoll mix. The people we got him from told us that they would attend cat shows and buy any cats breeders were selling due to poor show performance, hence the purebred parents of Gizmo.

We lived in the country. Our cats were working cats. Unfortunately, Gizmo disappeared before he as neutered. I was just a kid and was devastated. We always assumed that he went off to the neighboring farm to find a female in heat. Especially because we would see these beautiful cream colored, blue-eyed kittens running around our neighbor’s farm.

Cut to Cloud. She is from that neighboring farm. I drove to my hometown and picked this girl up because she reminds me of a cat I once lost, and I have this crazy theory that she is a descendent of my Gizmo. I even had her DNA tested.

I have read that the breed ancestry part is mostly bunk, but that the traits are accurate. So - my question is am I crazy or is there a chance?

Shrimp (female, left) and Squid (male, right) came to me as neonate fosters discovered shortly after they were born. Shrimp didn’t develop her flame point markings until about a week or two in, and I’m left wondering how common is it for a flame point and a black/white to exist in the same litter? She also is without the markings on her nose that I typically see in them online, she just has the ears and the tail. I’m wondering if they’re the result of different dads getting mom pregnant in the same heat cycle. It’s worth noting she was significantly smaller than he was at birth and has remained that way, and nearly died a few times until about 10-12 weeks when we finally got through the worst of her trying to give in to fading kitten syndrome.
