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'? |

Luramao quoth:

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

Of Peewee gets an injury, it grows in white. His recent bout of
ringworm has left him dappled with white. -L. Bootsie 2 had that! She had a bald paatch on the top of her head, and when the hair grrew back in, it was white. Sherry |

I've also noticed that Shamrock's bouts with the skin allergies has left him with a white streak on his back where I thought it used to be solid black. I can't be sure since he's had so many problems since I got him but his stripe looks like a skunk stripe. But then again, he has a lot of white on his underside and arms and face so I just can't remember what his back looked like fully furred. Funny thing about Bonnie, she doesn't have any white on her at all. Solid black, but in the sunlight it has a brown tinge to it (as does Shadow). Combed off fur is gray. |
