Genotypic and Phenotypic Analysis of Coloration in Oriental and Siamese Cats

From the point of view of genetics, Oriental and Siamese cats distinguish 1 gene – “C” dominant (gene for complete body coloration in Orientals) and recessive “cs” (gene for Siamese color). How do these genes work? In the presence of the “C” gene, the pigment is distributed equally to each hair throughout the cat’s body, […]

A genetic coat color prediction chart for Siamese and Oriental Shorthair cats. It features a grid with rows and columns labeled with genetic combinations (e.g., BB DD, Bb dd). Each cell shows possible coat colors with diamond symbols. The legend explains the symbols: black for Seal Point, brown for Chocolate Point, blue for Blue Point, and purple for Lilac Point. This chart is based on CFA-recognized color points.

Tips for Bringing a New Oriental
or Siamese Kitten Home

Give the kitten space: When you first bring your new kitten home, it's important to give them some space to adjust to their new surroundings. Set up a designated area in your home, such as a spare room or a bathroom, where your kitten can stay for the first few days.

Thank you Olga for letting me buy this lovely bengal female, Julya.. I picked Julya because I wanted a snow female of high quality for breeding and show. I got exactly what I was looking, for including a very social and friendly cat. I will like to give all best recommends to this breeder, she is so professional and at the same time a very nice person. PS. No problems about having the cat coming all the way home to Denmark, everything was arranged for me, and my little bengal came home to me safely. Thank you. Please feel free to contact me if necessary. Best regards, mette from harlekin-bengals Denmark
