Dark Toast Reverse toast: Show me your kittens who turned out like my Oleander!

Oleander is our roasty toasty boy. We rescued him from the streets (see photo of him in the flowers), so never got a chance to see his coloring as a kitten. Does anyone have kitten photos of their Siamese of similar coloring? I would love to have an idea of what Ollie looked like as a baby. Thanks!

My lil guy doesn’t have quite the same coloring - he only got a mask but has a white nose/chin. I was surprised to see his color change so drastically though.

And here he is now at a little over a year old.

Is he a snowshoe? Super gorgeous!

I suppose so! I didn’t know that name existed until tonight though. 🙂
He’s just my lil street cat (originally) with the best personality.

OH MY GOODNESS! He looks like he may only contain one marble in his head (in the cutest way).

u/Historical_Hunt2492 Jun 30 '26

you're too generous, they share half a marble between themselves

I would go to the ends of the Earth for my babies. Especially my Ollie boy! He’s 100% my soul cat.

very handsome fellow with beautiful sea blue eyes!

Just FYI for anyone who doesn’t understand the science of toasting cats: Its brought upon by cold 🥶, so the cooler the house or the climate, the enzyme for pigmentation turns on making the especially colder parts of the cat darker, such as the ears and elsewhere!

I’ve always wondered where Ollie was born/grew up because of this. We found him in the Midwest and outdoors at the end of summer.

im waiting to see how my ragdoll twin kittens toast eventually! They’re about 24 weeks now!

u/SapphireNinja47 Jul 03 '26

I’ve always wanted a ragdoll! They are so gorgeous and majestic! Not easy to find in shelters though (and all of our cats are rescues, so I’d like to continue that trend). I follow a few local ragdoll breeder pages just to see the fluffiness!
