What type of cat do I have?

Question
Jessica:

I was wondering if you would be able to tell me what type of cat I have if I describe it to you?  He is all white with ice light blue eyes that cross just slightly and also has a bit of rust on his paws, face and the end of his tail and is VERY BIG!!

Thanks,

Carlene :)

Answer
I'm not sure.  Because of the crossed eyes, which is called a "squint", and because they are blue, it may suggest he's part Siamese.  Though a squint can happen in any cat, Siamese have them most often.

Also, if the rust on hir paws, face and tail is gradually shaded instead of definite spots of color, they could be what are called colorpoints.  Colorpoints are the coat patterns that Siamese have.

Siamese tend to be smaller than the average cat, but mixes can be very big, indeed.  If you have a picture of him somewhere online and want to send me the link, I can take a look at him and see if I can give you a more definitive answer.
