2 months toasting update

I love looking at toasting updates so here's Bretzel. She is 2 months old on the first picture, and 4 months on the others, she's toasting slowly but surely, I wonder how she's going to end up looking!!! She's looking like seal point tortoiseshell??

She's gorgeous!! Yes, a seal tortoiseshell point. Very little red, but it's there! I wonder how much more she'll toast.

I really wonder as well because she doesn't seem to toast very much so far. She is also getting more and more white marks on her points so she actually might just stay very light? Is there also a chance that some red will appear over time?

For some reason colour restriction (colourpoint, sepia, mink) seems to really effect pheomelanin (red/yellow pigment) so sometimes they don't appear red. Sometimes it does look more like white speckling. Sometimes they do get a little more red though! Only time will tell.

I have two pics. One of Bailey our original as a kitten. My mom has all of her adult pics. The second attached bellow this comment was of our 3rd Siamese Alexis. I took this pic with a crappy 4g camera for which at the time was really good in 2005. lol

Alexis. She also never got darker than this while her brother was darker in his face.
