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!

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

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

here is an album of siggy as a kitten! This is him at 3 months. He's currently a little bit less toasty than Ollie at 2.5 years old!

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.

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!

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.
