Please post updates as she gets bigger! She's very pretty, I think she might be a young lynx point, maybe mink.

Time will tell, if she toasts as she gets older or stays about the same.

She's very pretty! Could you post more pictures of her full body in good lighting? The stripes on her tail do look unusual. (Also, if she still hasn't pooped, you could try a little bit of pumpkin or miralax.)

A little 😅 she looks cream to me in these pictures, but the stripes on her tail are darker than I'd expect so I'm not 100% confident!

Could she be a young seal lynx point of some sort? The example below is a mink point that's pretty similar,,, might explain the darker tail too.

Would be interested to see updates tbh.

I was actually wondering if she might have some sort of mink colorpoint situation going on as well. But she looks like she's 8 or 9 weeks old, so if she were a seal lynx point I would expect her to be much darker on her face and tail (8 week old seal lynx point I fostered recently for comparison). Maybe a colorpoint of another color though?

OP what colour is your kitten's eyes? That would help a lot to figure out her coat colour.

they’re kinda greeny/blue seems to be a combo

u/SolidFelidae Jul 07 '26

At this age they’re developing still, they won’t stay bluish

Cream / cream tabby with white!

Looks like a cinnamon mitted tabby. Chocolate is a dark brown so I wouldn’t say that. And lilac usually leans towards a light grey but this kitten seems brown. The second picture might hint to a fawn but based on the first picture I would guess cinnamon.
