There is a crazy high demand for those dirty sock cats- they are considered rare in the siamese world. Hers appears to be more of a seal lynx, mine is a lilac lynx, If you breed 2 lynx together you have something like an 80% chance to have traditional or snowshoe siamese, which is why most of those kittens do not look stripey like mom.
When I was showing mine, Misha's first litter was an accidental litter but they were gone within minutes of me calling the waiting list and saying Misha had a litter. With cats you breed for color design and health with very few aspects of temperment. It seems to be the total opposite of how you would breed dogs.

yes - she has an appointment in 5 weeks to get spayed (and her man has to get his happy parts taken off next week). i was going to spay after the last litter but people started a "waiting" list. i really only have 1 kitten left - just waiting on 1 out of 6 people to call with the $$. lol - the waiting list had almost 30 people on it..

Siamese (normal seal points) are fairly common down here. Ole Dingy up there was a weird throw back and the breeder let me have her pretty cheap - which was great for me. She is a very small cat also - maybe 3 pounds. The father is a seal point siamese (I posted some pics of him somewhere on here) and he is beautiful and HUGE. He is a sprayer so he spends most of his time in the climate controlled "cat room" (it's a 20 X 20 room that has a 15 X 20 "total fenced" outdoor area attached to the back of it with some trees, etc.). Hopefully once his happy parts are removed he can spend more time in the house (maybe I can have the cat room......).

LOL - my great pyrenees (been spayed since she was 6 months old) carries the kittens around AND lets them nurse non-existent momma milk from her..

Andrea, I have bad news about the spraying. A male that has come into maturity before he is neutered will spray less but will still mark after the neuter, especially if you have a cat anywhere nearby that is in heat , Like one outside. My 30lber flame point will still spray when they pesky feral female tabby crusies around outside, she will come rub in the windows (closed) and he will go spray over in that corner.... I really wanna string him up by his little empty boy parts some times..... My mother has a estimate 9-12 yr old Great pyr rescue who is a massive dog- he was a breeder male who's owner passed away but he is still very "fatherly", but when he comes over he still trys to "catch a cat" just to carry it around. I guess he thinks they are puppies.

Please don't take this as "mean," as I am involved in cat rescue and am just laying out the facts. We get lynx points in rescue here ALL THE TIME. In fact, they are more common in rescue than any other type of siamese. We even get them as strays, and whole litters of lynx point kittens as strays. How old are the kittens now? Lynx and lilac points are the last to get their colors. These kittens do not appear to be pointed. In fact, it looks like they will all be gray and white patched or tabby and white. They should still be predominantly white at this point, with very faint markings at their points only. I'm sorry, but I have personally assisted in the euthanasia of hundreds of cats and kittens, including ones that looked just like these little guys, due to lack of homes and failure of people to spay and neuter. And no, it can't be blamed on the shelter, because they were following the protocols suggested in the no-kill proclamation. During kitten season in just that one county, about a thousand cats and kittens were being euthanized every month. Just a few of our purebreds available for adoption - 1by1catrescue.org/ Lynx point  Bengal  Ragdoll/Himmy  Siamese mix  Maine Coon  Snowshoe mix And with our sister rescue - www.petfinder.com/shelters/PA291.html Manx  Ragdoll  Siamese/Snowshoe  Snowshoe  Oriental Shorthair  Oriental Shorthair |

Oh - I don't think you are being mean. The $$ I get from the kittens is enough to cover their shots and worming and a spay cert. from my vet and that's about it. The reason the people got on the list for the kittens was not becuase of a breed issue - it is becuase of how much time I spend with them when they are babies. When they leave my house they are people and other animal lovers - not shy, squirmy, afraid little things (like most kittens I have seen are).
I understand working in rescue - I volunteer here locally at both Caddo and Bossier Parish shelters. We really don't have alot of cat's put to sleep here I guess - kittens make it at most a week in the shelter before being adopted.
I am pretty sure my daddy cat has something else mixed in his blood lines - he is beautiful but is a bit to "beefy" to be a pure bred siamese - not that it matters to me - he is a love regardless.
