  • what type of Siamese cat is this?

    We got this cat that looks Siamese, though I don't want to say he is genuinely Siamese until I know for sure. After some research, there seems to be 3 main types: traditional (apple-head), classic (traditional-modern combo), and modern (wedge-head). His head shape looks traditional, though he is more medium sized like classic (he also has a slightly more prominent muzzle than traditional and his tail isn't really tapered). Also, if you look at his picture, two of his hind paws have small white spots only on the middle toes (actually, the paw pads on one of the hinds is pinkish and not brown/black like the others). Also, I notice some very faint tabby striations on his tail, and his whiskers are speckled. His cream fur has started to darken a bit, so this makes me feel he is Siamese, but the white toes on the back, faint striation and speckled whiskers makes me wonder. I thought maybe he was a Snowshoe, but his two front paws pure dark brown. So, does this mean he just a diluted Siamese, or do true Siamese have some of these color characteristics? If there are any Siamese cat lovers/experts out there that have an answer, please let me know :)
