Albino Siamese Kitten question!

    My cat gave birth to 4 kittens last week and recently 3 out four kitens got the black outlines for the nose, ears and the tail; only one remains pink, the eyes started to open and it seems to have red-pink outlines around the irises, I am not so sure if there should be any special treatment for the kitten not to mention if she will find a home...I'll post some pics when eyes completly open...

    Sounds like there might have been a recessive albinism gene in mama's family, how cool. You must post pics!
    You you should get a hold of a specialist in Siamese cats, or just your local vet and see if there is any difference in care for traditional vs albino. Good luck and keep an eye on that albino one.
    I would adopt him/her just because it was albino, thats cool....lol

    check out http://forums.meezer.org/login.php
    there will be someone there that can answer your question
    are you a breeder? Or was this an accidental breeding. Do you have both the mother and father Siamese?

    Parent of the albino kitten

    Actually both of the parents were pure siamese, my cat is standard type siamese all the kittens look fluffy and fat ^^' The albino one is the exception

    man...sorry but I foster for Siamese Rescue and if you only knew how many kittens go through there cause someone "just wanted to breed their female". In a year so far I've fostered fourteen siamese cats...so when you sell your kittens be sure you do a spay/neuter contract and I certainly hope you will take back a kitten/cat when someone doesn't want it anymore. I don't want to end up fostering it when someone realizes how demanding the siamese breed can be.
    Do you have any idea of the history of either of the parents? Is there an albino in their background somewhere? How far back did the breeders of your female and the male know the history of their cats? I know many breeders that can tell you the great great grandparents of their breeding stock.
    Again...what points are the parents to these kittens?
    I don't mean to come across as a snoot - but when one fosters and you see just how many cats are in shelters and rescues...how many siamese cats who can't get into the program cause all of the foster homes are already full it kills me to hear about more kittens. Did you have someone mentor you prior to the breeding? Do you show your cats...register them with CFA or any of the other groups.
    I don't suggest you post at siamese internet cat club - if you simply bought a female and bred it you'll get ripped into other there.
    I am still curious on the point question though - there are points that do have pink noses

    Yea! Dun worry I am aware about the risks that I took when I breed her, and I do plan to neuter once she finishes with this litter, its the first one she has and would be the last as well, the history...didn't really look at it, I didn't find it important...possibly a stupid idea, should have checked...but the pink nose also know about that...but this kitten no black markings at all, nowhere on the ears or the tail, and the eyes are pink, I am pretty sure its an albino

    The mother is standard, she has black-brown points all over her paws, face and ears, her body is almost chocolate brown, the father is also standard; lighter in the tail ( got white little rings on his tail) and black face and paws, but the body more cream colored...I'll post a link with pics a lil later

    sounds like the female is a sealpoint, male possibly chocolate. They can throw any points. Before breeding you should at least know the points in case someone asks what you have for kittens.
    Brown/black paw pads = sealpoint
    pink paw pads with brown points = chocolate point
    there are bluepoints, red points, flame points, lilac points, lynx point
    chocolate points usually don't have as much dark coloring on their face and lighter bodies.
    The coloring in kittens won't be a definite until they are approx. 6 months old - takes that long to tell their true point coloring.
    Points gets darker in colder regions. Cats bodies darken as they age.
    Siamese points will get fever coats when they are sick.
    I would love to see the eyes of the possibly albino one - you can't tell anything by their ears, tail, legs, paws for sometime yet.
    this is my seal along with my blue, both throwaways.
    there is modern, classic and traditional.
    Moderns being the severe wedgeheads you see cat cat shows (I personally think they are ugly...although being siamese I adore the breed), traditionals are true appleheads larger rounder head, classic is an inbetween.
    My tilly (bluepoint) is a traditional, Missy is a classic.

    went outside and took a deep breath.....something i wanted to mention is siamese kittens need to stay with their mother until they are TWELVE weeks old. They do mature slower than other cats and have less issues if they stay with their mother until that age - less chance of litterbox issues, etc. People who get siamese kittens younger tend to have more problems with them. They are a bit more prepared for life (so to speak) at 3 months of age rather than 2.
    Please be sure you get a spay/neuter contract before selling your kittens. Also advise against letting them outside cause they are such curious cats they get lost easy (have someone on this board who recently found a young meezer hanging around her house and she took it in). I lost mine for 3 days....she got outside and I never thought I'd see Missy again. I think someone took her and then let her go.
    Feed them a high quality food as they do tend to have digestive issues - siamese enjoy puking - spent a good part of my day off cleaning up cat puke this morning.
    Screen prospective buyers of your kittens highly. Be sure they know the meezer breed...so many people get that cute kitten and then don't like the clingly demanding way of the Siamese breed. And we end up with tons of them.
    Siamese Rescue has saved 4,000 Siamese cats so far this year - just on the east coast.
    I don't know where you live but there is no lack of the breed around.
