I agree that the pattern in itself is not rare or unique. But, what is unique and what I am trying to find out more about is...are there any cats out there who have tabby patterns AND solid points? these kittens show NO striping on their extremities (including tail), only at the places where their solid points stop do they have tabby markings. Also, as far as I know and have been able to glean from genetic information resources. a tabby kitten can ONLY been born if one of it's parents is tabby also. Tabby kittens are NOT born to solid colored parents because tabby (agouti) is dominate over solid patterns.
So tell me, why did my recessive solid point cats whose parents are all solids as well produce 2 supposedly dominate tabby patterned kittens?
I have been trying to research as extensively as I can in a short period of time other cats whom have similar siamese/snow cloud type colors on tabby patterns. The only places I have found similar is on some bengal cats and australian mist cats, have been entirely unable to locate this same color/pattern combination in any other breed or cross-breed. however, all of the bengal and australian mist cats that have this color/pattern are all lynx points, not solid points. My kittens are definately not lynx points. Neither do my kittens have any australian mist cat or bengal cat heritage.

If someone knows the contact info for a geneticist that is familiar with cat genetics please let me know as I am sending the info on these kitten's background and pictures to geneticists as well for answers.

Thank you, Courtney Lynn
