I've just purchased two male Siamese kitten, one is Seal point and the other is Blue point. Someone mentioned to me they cannot be brothers because they have different point colors. Is this true? I was told they were from the same litter. Even if they are not brothers, that is fine with me. They love each other and my whole family loves them. But I'm curious. Thanks for help. Claire

We have been breeding Siamese kittens for over 15 years. Yes it is possible to have two brothers, one seal and one blue point if both mom and dad are seal point, and both have a recessive blue gene. It is the same as with humans. If both mother and father have brown eyes, and have recessive blue eyes in their ancestry, they can have one son with brown eyes, and one son with blue eyes.

Not only can different colors occur in the same litter, different color patterns can! It is common for a single snowshoe to appear in an otherwise pointed litter. In rescue, we frequently see Siamese where some of their litter are pointed and some have a domestic shorthair (regular cat) appearance. Part of the reason for this is that felines are induced ovulators, meaning that they are likely to produce a kitten for each male who is available to them for mating. So a single litter may actually have several fathers! For more information and to see some examples of this, please visit NYC Siamese Rescue at nycsiamese.org. http://www.nycsiamese.org

Not only can you have different points, sometimes WHICH point the kitten will be in vague until their color fully develops; we've seen registration paperwork where the predicted color is actually incorrect for the cat! Plus a snowshoe can occur in a pointed litter as an alternate color pattern. Here is an example in a litter rescued from a breeder by NYC Siamese Rescue (nycsiamese.org): http://www.geocities.com/nycsr_crystal/Crystal.html
