Question

Hello,I am trying to figure out what color my himi is. He has pink paw pads. His mom's mom is a blue cream point and his mom's dad is a solid chocolate. His dad's dad is a solid chocolate and his dad's mom is a chocolate calico. My himi boy's parents are both solid chocolates. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know that chocolate points have the pink paw pads and seal points don't. He has pink paw pads so can I assume by this that he is a chocolate point? He is 2 weeks old in this photo. Thanks so much, Linda

Answer
Hi Linda

I have to say he is very young to be worrying about the colour at the moment though I know how it is impossible to stop yourself guessing, as I have the same problems with Birmans.  However, looking at him and his nose, I would say he is going to be Chocolate.  His nose is too pale to be a Seal.  However I would reserve judgement for a few more weeks when I'm sure you will be in no doubt.
