How'd a Siamese get in this litter?
I was just looking thru the private party adoption web site at
www.k9adopt.org, when I happened upon this: a rescued/stray female gray & black tiger was up for adoption with her litter which consisted of 3 typical tiger gray & black kittens and a 'Siamese looking one". I scrolled down and was a bit shocked. The tiger mom and her 3 tiger kittens looked like typical tigers, not even like part Siamese, but there at the bottom was.....a Siamese kitten. It didnt look even 'part Siamese" or "half Siamese" .... it looked for all the world like your typical seal point Siamese kitten (trad type). If the mom mated with a Siamese tom (a feral Siamese?) shouldn't the other kittens at least have some kind of Siamese hint in them? (or be those black oriental types?) I looked just so very odd; a typical tiger family....with this Siamese thrown in for variety. Is this something that 'happens'? |

Sounds like that's what happened in this case. Priscilla -- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, minutus carborata descendum pantorum. (from topfive.com) |

Tony quoth:
I have a siamese looking cat that was mixed in a litter of non-siamese. In this picture the gray cat on the left is the father and the black one in the rear is the mother of the siamese http://members.aol.com/alg460/bigfluff/others.jpg Here is a better shot showing her face. http://members.aol.com/alg460/bigfluff/others1.jpg Wow. The little tiny bit of genetics I got in high school biology class is flashing through my brain. Priscilla -- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, minutus carborata descendum pantorum.

Forgot to mention that there is no chance here of multiple fathers. The gray
and black cats never left the house. Zena , the siamese, does have blue eyes but they came out orange in that shot. http://members.aol.com/alg460/bigfluff/others.jpg http://members.aol.com/alg460/bigfluff/others1.jpg Tony |
