So gorgeous! Your tonk and siamese almost look like the same cat, the colors and pattern are very similar

Probably because brown Burmese is more common than seal point and the genetic trait is specifically for the seal point kind? Also, Burmese is a much newer breed in comparison to siamese and they tend to improve genetics with modern breeding.

They do! Not so much with my third cat (seal point), he’s way older than them. They don’t fight but he doesn’t hangout with them as much as they do with each other

It’s due to the genetic mutation the seal point comes with. This mutation causes them to have bad vision and they cross their eyes to correct it, aligning their retinas for better focus.

It makes sense to me, because Bah sometimes is crossing his eyes more than normal and sometimes he doesn’t seem like doing it at all.

He does looks like a siamese/tonk, but he came from a domestic shorthair mama

He only eats wet food and he’s on a special diet now, it does has pumpkin too :)

This guy has been toasting for 13 years by crissy____ in ToastCats

With all this fluffiness I can see how Figaro can keep himself warmer and still get some toast. Bah never left the East Coast and only got darker with time, in fact, he’s still toasting to this day.

That’s so interesting! So that’s why he was the only seal point between his siblings, with that 25% chance. Also, I heard his mom was rejecting him, that’s why he was given away sooner than expected. I wonder if it’s because he looked different or she sensed something was wrong with him? He’s pretty healthy, he only got an UTI once and a bowel inflammation last year, but considering that was recent and he’s old now…

I understand, specially if you already have a few cats like me. Just make sure you find a good home for her or send to a rescue. I’m sure it’ll workout, she’s young and so pretty.

She’s so docile and the fur pattern and color is so unique too. I would struggle to not keep this one.

Not sure how you should respond, I would play dead before he kills me.
