I get calls all the time asking for a kitten with particular markings, so I thought that I would post a page with some examples. Here are some basic descriptions that should help you understand how Rag Doll kittens and cats are colored:
First of all, there are two categories of the kittens appearance:
| Patterns - color point (point), mitted, bi-color, tortie, lynx, blaze |
| Colors - blue, chocolate, cream, flame lilac, seal |
Together, there are many combinations of patterns, and colors, but all Rag Dolls have blue eyes.
| Color point - A color pointed (sometimes called a point) kitten will have the same color feet as ears, nose and tail |
| Mitted - A mitted kitten will always have white feet |
| Bi-color - A bi-color kitten will have a white "V" on their foreheads |
| Tortie - A tortie is similar to a Calico in color and only females will have it |
| Lynx - A Lynx is striped |
| Blaze -A blaze has a white stripe on its nose; some
markings are symmetrical, some are not |
The colors of blue, chocolate, cream, lilac, lynx, seal
are pretty self explanatory. But a flame is an orange point.
I'll show some examples in the following pages:
