10/29/2004: Baby raccoons

[jinx]

Aside from the freckles on the red point, my cats have the same color skin everywhere... but this is kind of cool;

The Siamese kitten is pure white at birth - the gene that produces the "points" on the face, paws, and tail is heat sensitive, and the point color gradually develops on the cooler parts of the body. In some breeding lines, and in warmer climates, the point color may not fully develop until the cat is over a year old.
