orgot 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.

Lots of litters with a Siamese mom seem to have all-black kittens.

IIRC, black is partially dominant.

Maybe your
mom cat has some Siamese parentage?

My "black siamese" Pookie (RIP) was from a litter that had orange
tiger, orange and white, black, grey tiger and blue-point looking
kittens. I think the point markings pop up a lot. Pookie acted
siamese but looked black - with a tiny white "moon and stars" on his
belly. His brother, George (RIP), was all big orange Tommy, though.

Pearl has a little white "V" on the inside of one ankle, a white splotch on
her tummy and one very faint but perfectly straight white line on another
leg, like she ran into a wire or something.

Of Peewee gets an injury, it grows in white. His recent bout of
ringworm has left him dappled with white.

Weeeellll now, that's interesting. That v is so perfect and the one line is
VERY straight and long. I have to check again (when she is lounging. She is
not the most malleable cat) but if it's her arthritic leg, I wonder if she
wasn't hit by a car when little or something. Since she is only 6 and has
always limped, we think the arthritis, which is very extensive in that knee
but appears no where else on her, might be trauma related.

It is a really weird phenomenon. I didn't believe it until I *knew*
he had been injured in certain places, and then it grew in white.
Now, the "moon and stars" on his belly he's had forever, so I think
that is natural. But the spotting most certainly is skin damage.
Recently he lost a whisker, apparently prematurely, and it grew in
white. And as he ages, the change seems to happen more readliy. (He
turned 12 in February).

I checked last night and sure enough the little mark is on her bad leg! I
know her tummy is natural, but I really wonder about a couple of the other
markings now.
