siamese/tabby kitten2007-11-25 12:25:53

i have an orange kitten (around 4 months) and my sis in-law used to be a vet-tech and she told me that my kitten is half siamese due to the size of his ears and how vocal he is.i kinda find that "bull".could it be possible even though he is classified as an orange tabby??

Answers:

Anything is possible when it comes to cats and their dominant or recessive genetic traits. Vocalization is a common trait of Siamese, but there are many talk happy cats - and in my experience - it's more of an environmental/personality trait of the kitten. Sometimes needy kittens, socially inept, hungry or sick kittens will be very vocal. Also, kittens raised solo tend to talk a lot as well. Many breekds of cats have large ears as well - - just take a look at a breed chart. So, your sister could be right - or not. A tell tale sign of an orange cat who is a Siamese is the Flame Point Siamese - note the ears. Cocksided eyes and blue eyes are other dead give aways. Look this one up and see if it looks like your kitten and good luck. Either way, talking cats are generally pretty fun to live with and it sounds like you've lucked up. RescueHearts.org

If you got it as a stray, from an animal shelter or a pet shop, it is possible it could be anything. but it could have it's mother as a siamese and it's father as a ginger tabby. that is the only way that a combination like that is possible, as by your description.

Sounds really cute though.

It's possible, Vocal is a Siamese trait. As for the ears, Siamese cats have very sparse hair in front of their ears - the skin shows. Check it out.
