I'm Darla - what kind of lynx point Siamese am I?

by Amy
(Evergreen, La)

What color lynx point Siamese am I?

What color lynx point Siamese am I?

What color lynx point Siamese am I? We definitely know who the Queen of the house is!

We acquired Darla from our son. He found Darla on the side of the road one night abandoned.

He would have liked to have kept her but both he and his wife are allergic to cats. So he brought her to us. She has all the markings of a lynx point Siamese, just not sure of the color.

Her eyes are the gorgeous blue of your typical Siamese, she has the M on her forehead, darker color on all points except tail (it had been all but been completely destroyed, we're thinking from a vehicle engine and had to be amputated; she now has the cutest little stump), and paws (her paw pads are a cross between dark gray or brown and dark pink) and striping on her face and legs.

All darker colors appear to be darkening.

She is playful, sweet, loves attention, talks when she wants something, and likes to cuddle. She is approx. 5-6 weeks in these pictures, she is now 7 weeks. I will enclose a few pictures to see what you think. The picture you have on your site showing the lynx point Siamese, looks just like her only an older version.

Our vet could not tell us exactly what breed she is, only that she may be Siamese. He's more into dog breeds than cats.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Darla's colour
by: Tuppy's Mum

I would be interested to see how her points look now.

Our lynxie (Tigger) got darker with age and had a fair bit of ticking on his fur. Really, the breeder went too far with this. Darla is so lucky to have you now. You have real treasure in a lynx point; they're loyal and affectionate. Our Tiggie used to sleep in the bed every night. He died in March 2011 and we were desolate.

We just adopted a new kittie from the shelter who is part lynx and tabby. He's leading us a merry dance! Enjoy your lynx point ... you're in for a world of fun no matter what colour Daria ends up being.

The thought that someone abandoned her is just ... well, I can't imagine how a human being could do that. I guess they're human.

Lynx Point Siamese
by: Eve

Hi, I have had 2 Lynx Point Siamese cats in the last 21 years. Your cat will get darker and the points more distinct as she gets older. The points are usually striped.

My kitties are gone now, I would love to have another. I miss them so much.

I hope you have many years of fun with your new addition.

In my opinion ... !
by: Caroline (Admin)

Hi Amy

Thank you for sharing your lovely story about Darla!

Your question about her point color sent me back to my books as it can be difficult to specifically identify Siamese coloring from photos, especially when you don't know what color the parents were.

In my opinion, at the moment Darla looks most like a lilac lynx (tabby) point. A lilac point is a dilute, or lighter version of, a chocolate point, and in a lynx point this coloring may appear as brownish, especially where a red tabby may have been involved somewhere in the mix.

So that is my best guess.

She's gorgeous, and it will be interesting to see how her color changes as she gets older.

Interestingly, I received another query about coloring on the same day as yours, which you can see here ... What color is this little guy?"
