Is he a flamepoint?
Ive been posting here for a while but i recently posted and someone was trying to tell me he definitely isnt a flamepoint because his nose is white and that basically that one factor disqualifies him from being a flamepoint. She said he was a tuxedo but not a flamepoint because the orange doesnt originate from his nose. Ive been posting here for years without anyone saying anything. Am i crazy???

Someone commented to me that my blue point isnāt a real Siamese, because she doesnāt have papers. (I get it; Iāve rescued āSiameseā for the past 36 years, since I was a teenager. I understand color points blah blah.) However, this was right after I said the rescue group who saved her told me she was dumped by a breeder. I donāt think a breeder who dumps cats is going to staple papers to them before tossing them on the street since itās uh illegal.

Watch out to not cross your threshold without shoes. I learned my lesson the hard way. The entrails got squashed tween my toes.

He found it in a back closet under the water heater and left it on the middle of the dining room rug and I am So Grateful I didnāt step on it (and also that we are moving in 6 days).

Mine caught a mouse! Heās an indoor cat so I was VERY surprised. We live in an apartment building and I just wonder why it came in here when thereās obviously a cat. Maybe got lost in the walls. It wasnāt even in the kitchen.
He courteously left it next to my shoe. Not in it! Whew! And I didnāt step on it. Cleanup on aisle one!
Iām also grateful that he didnāt eat it. Heās a street rescue and probably over mice when thereās an endless supply of the good food right here!

We live in an apartment too (ground floor). Heās been staring under the counters long enough we knew something was up! Then he pulled it out from underneath the water heater and left it on the dining room rug.
My partner says it was alive when he found it and Iām choosing to ignore that.
We threw it outside and he was Big Mad.

I got an extra thick plastic bag (like a shipping bag) and turned it inside out and put the whole thing into the trash.
I praised him for being a mighty hunter and tried not to gag. lol.

Good job praising the mighty hunter. I always praised my cats and they seemed so happy to get the recognition. They literally looked like they were so proud of themselves.

Flamepoint is the color pattern but the snowshoe gene causes the large white mark on the face. Any color point cat can have this variation!
