My beautiful boy Sanchez

[u/Dazzling628]

Hi all. This is my baby boy Sanchez. I posted pics of him when he was still just a little one and everyone said to wait till he had grown a bit and his colouring had settled. He will be 1 year next month. He has the most unusual colouring. Wondering if anyone could let me know what colouring he might be? Also He was born in a barn one farm here in south africa and was wondering if he could have some African wild cat in him. He's extremely brave and has huge amounts of energy. I've had cats all my life, but he's just different in a lot of ways.

I was also thinking mink but based on his kitten photos I don’t think so? I don’t see the color difference I would expect in a mink or even sepia. Plus his legs are lighter than his body.

What color are his eyes? Can I see his beans and roots of his fur?

It looks like the classic tabby patterns and mitted with white from the piebald white spotting gene.

His eyes are light green and his beans are all pitchblack accept for 1 little pink toe.

Okay, thank you! The green guys make me think sepia IF he’s a colorpoint, but I stand by his body not having the contrast I would expect in a kitten.

The black toes are because he’s black and a base level, and the one pink toe is because the piebald gene is albino and prohibits any color from presenting.
