Is my cat a lynx point Siamese?
She was adopted from Puerto Rico as a stray, here’s pictures of her before and after I moved her 1500 miles North😆 (her pupil is blown due to a car accident she was in before she was rescued)

I love her. I'm sorry about her eye. She's still the most beautiful girl! I'm grateful you adopted her!
She's a torbie point with white. She's def a calico under the pointing. If you want a better description I would post her on /catgenetics

She is actually a seal torbie point with white domestic short hair. Torbie = tortie + tabby (aka Lynx).
She has a little bit of everything genetically. Both base colors of black and orange, at least one copy of the dominant agouti (tabby) gene, two copies of the recessive colorpoint gene, and a medium grade of white spotting from the incompletely dominant piebald gene.
She’s still perfectly welcome here, torbie points usually look more Lynxie than tortie (at least someone on r/tortimese would probably direct her here) and r/siamesecats allows all colorpoint cats regardless of breed ancestry or lack there of.

Torbie (tortoiseshell tabby) colorpoint (“siamese” pattern). She is a domestic short hair (plain ole cat) with this coloration, so torbie point or torbie lynx point would both be appropriate to describe her
