The Kittens!

These kittens were born on Thanksgiving Day (my veterinarian will attest to that!), this is the first litter for both Avon and Stetson, Avon has done an excellent job as a first time mother! everything has gone very well. There is one little girl, one big girl and one boy. Ever since they were born I could tell that the little girl's and the boy's coats were somehow darker, even though they were white/cream, than big girl's. At about 3 weeks it became apparent that something was definately different about little girl's and boy's coat color...they had a marble pattern! I have found this very strange since both parents are solid points, and I believed that the parent's coat pattern was recessive to tabby type markings, and therefore could not produce such colors. I have yet to receive any answers on this, and I am suspecting that these kittens have a possible color pattern mutation, further investigation will be needed to verify that.

All kittens will have a normal short haired coat, they all carry both the rex coat and the semi-longhair coat. It is expected for the coat to be a lil thicker/plusher than most siamese coats, this always happens when a kitten has one shorthair gene and one longhair gene. All kittens appear to be blue-point, although the marble pattern on the 2 kittens has a tannish hue, in dogs this would be called "blue fawn".
