Default 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'?

A litter of kittens can have more than one father among them. Sounds like
that's what happened in this case.

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

Here is a better shot showing her face.

Wow. The little tiny bit of genetics I got in high school biology class
is flashing through my brain.

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.
