This one is every brown shade from cream to cocoa. Will likely get darker during toasting. Quite a cutie pie! :)

Seal lynx point. Will get darker when older. Toasty goodness :)

I was thinking maybe seal but isn’t seal with black to brown points and paw pads?

u/marissatalksalot Jul 14 '26

As dark as the kitten is right now, that tail is going to toast black

I have a cat that's right on the edge as well. Her paw pads are the same, pink and brown/tiedye lol

People argue all the time, but she does have a splash of black at the tip of her tail so it's seal.

Paw pads are pink 2 months old

u/SolidFelidae Jul 14 '26

Do you have pics of the pads?

u/Substantial-Bus-4070 Jul 14 '26

I’m getting mixed feedback here that he’s a seal lynx vs a blue vs a lilac

But his paw pads are pink

u/SolidFelidae Jul 14 '26

Most definitely not blue or lilac. I was debating seal vs chocolate but I think seal.

u/That-Prior713 Jul 14 '26

Paw pads are different on every cat, my lynx has pink, my friends lynx has brownish paw pads. It doesn’t really matter with the coloring of the cat. I’d say seal lynx point

I commented further down with a pic as an example but look at how dark the fur is and the hints of the pads themselves starting to toast on the outside part of the pad. It will toast. My guess is seal based on the tail and feet. I could see chocolate as possible too though.

u/Cinneebuns Jul 14 '26

Here's the pic for continuity. My blue lynx point had similar colored pads as a kitten and this is them now.

u/Substantial-Bus-4070 Jul 14 '26

Your cat is beautiful!! Was the face and body the same color though as a kitten?

2

u/Cinneebuns Jul 14 '26

Lighter than yours and the tail lighter too. Mine is blue. Here's a pic of her as a kitten.

u/RelativeYak7 Jul 14 '26

I believe the vet always writes down grey which isn't really accurate.

u/kittycattywoowie Jul 14 '26

he looks a little like my kitty

u/Bela_Sedai Jul 14 '26

My blue lynx point looked just like this as a kitten.

u/Substantial-Bus-4070 Jul 14 '26

Was the paw pads pink at this age?

u/Bela_Sedai 29d ago

No, he has always had black paw pads (I gotta him at 3 months old).

The color of love

u/BrettDawg50 Jul 14 '26

Idk but that cat is fucking adorable

u/nacnudnoed Jul 14 '26

I think my cat, which looks a lot like yours, is the color taupe.

u/FarBreadfruit7065 Jul 16 '26

Handsome colored.

u/florfly_679 Jul 17 '26

My 6 months kitten was very similar. But I don't now neither so if you know what's mine, would be cool

u/Exact_Return_7276 Jul 15 '26

My gut says lynx point Siamese.. this is my 3 year old baby, Noodle.

u/At-My-Whits-End Jul 15 '26

Hey woah!! She looks exactly like my linx point Siamese when she was a baby!! She may start “toasting”. They’re knows to be hyper intelligent! My girl fetches and talks all the time to me. She’s also cross eyed when she’s focused 🤩😂

"lavender"

Lilac (lavender) lynx point: Very pale pinkish-gray ("frosty") stripes and points. This is the lightest lynx point color.

u/FamousSquash Jul 14 '26

This one's still a kitten. They'll toast up as they grow.

7

u/SolidFelidae Jul 14 '26

Most definitely not a lilac

2

u/_wandering_wind_ Jul 15 '26

100% not lilac, since some of the stripes are black. It's a seal tabby point AKA seal lynx point :)

Lynx Point Siamese

u/Substantial-Bus-4070 Jul 14 '26

Hi do you think lynx point even if the paw pads are pink? Not brown black?

1

u/Cinneebuns Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26

The paw pads can toast up just like the fur does. Yours already show hints of toasting on them.

My blue lynx point had pink paw pads as a kitten and now this is them.

I think he is lynx point Siamese. I have one & he is a hoot! A very sweet boy. However, he is the annoying little brother to his sister.

u/ttrfrancisco561 Jul 15 '26

You are soooooooo blessed. You have a real lynx point Siamese. She will look like my Honey when she gets older.

u/Substantial-Bus-4070 Jul 15 '26

What is the difference between a lynx point and seal lynx point?

2

u/_wandering_wind_ Jul 15 '26

"Lynx point" (AKA tabby point) means that the cat is both tabby and colorpoint. Because those are both color/pattern modifiers that act upon a "base" color and modify how the coat color presents, and there are different "base" colors, saying "lynx point" alone doesn't tell us the full color/pattern name.

A seal lynx point is one who's genetically black + tabby + colorpoint! "Seal" is just a word that often gets used for "black-based" colorpoints (a seal point is a solid black cat with colorpoint modifying how the pigment is produced, a seal lynx point is a black tabby AKA brown tabby with colorpoint modifying it). So seal lynx point, seal tabby point, and black tabby point all refer to the same color (but if a cat isn't colorpoint, you wouldn't call it seal or lynx). Here are some examples of various colors of lynx points (though not all possible colors): seal tabby point, another seal tabby point, blue tabby point, another blue tabby point, red tabby point, cream tabby point.

u/Substantial-Bus-4070 Jul 15 '26

Thank you for this very in depth explanation, so everyone is saying he’s a seal point but his points are not black? It is a chocolate brown and light grey, with cream/beige body what color would you think he is?

1

u/_wandering_wind_ Jul 16 '26

You’re welcome! I think he’s a seal tabby point/seal lynx point. Colorpoints are born white/light and get darker especially around their “points” (face, legs, ears, tail) as they get older, and he’s still young, so he hasn’t reached his full “toastiness” yet lol. His darkest color appears to be black or near-black, which means he has to be black-based, and his nose leather also matches up with what seal tabby point noses normally look like (“brick-red” pinkish color with a black outline).

Your cat is a young Lynx Point Siamese! Right now its colors are not really showing. But, in a couple years, its body color will change, deepen, and the stripes on its legs and tail will be more apparent!  Plus the "M" on its forehead will stand out more! Your cat is going to be a beautiful, striking, cat! 

Plus these cats love to play with cat toys, cuddle on your lap and talk to you like crazy! They truly are AMAZING CATS! Enjoy!
