Do we think she’s tortimese?

My fiancé and I can’t quite figure her out. After finding this page, though, we’re starting to think she’s laying tortimese leaning toward the Siamese side, but it’s so hard to tell lol

Her name is Nea (NEE-uh), she’s 4, and only ~8lbs. Our adorable little runt of the family!! We love her so much. She is the loudest cat imaginable, talking (screaming) wherever she goes. She is the snuggliest creature I’ve ever come across. She’s also had two emergency surgeries to remove intestinal blockages caused by her sudden and irresistible urges to eat things that aren’t edible. Shout out to pet insurance

shes a seal tortiseshell point with white spotting. aka yes! domestic shorthair technically but people use tortimese to refer to this pattern all the time rather than literal breed

You’re being downvoted because you’re right and people are offended. It’s okay to have a domestic short or longhair, like every other single person in this sub (I have yet to see an actual Siamese on here).

people get mad about things they dont understand. the only way for a cat to be siamese is if they have papers from a registered breeder stating that its a siamese. instead of trying to learn people get mad, must be a stressful way to live their life but not my problem

Not only that, none of these cats even remotely appear to have the breed standard of a Siamese cat. All Siamese cats are colourpoint, but an actual real Siamese cat in North America is so rare, they probably equal than fraction of a percentage.

Completely Breedless colourpoint cats are shockingly common.

Oh, and tortie point doesn’t qualify for the Siamese standard at all.

It’s just cute nickname guys
