As my grandfather used to say, " when it's brown its cooking when it's black it's done." It was usually his toast he was referring to, but I think it fits here as well. LOL

Mines gotten so dark this year. (She will be three)

Mine looks just like that! Her name is Marshmallow. She is a seal point Ragdoll.

I’m glad I’m not the only one with a fridge cat 😅
Wait I thought mine was part Siamese but she looks more like yours! She was a stray so no idea her parents

Where did you find a ragdoll? My prince looks like this one. I am trying to find another but don’t want to just go to breeder that’s trying to make show cats
My toasted Marshmallow is actually named Marshmallow lol

These look like the white Russian marshmallows that I used to steal from the baker who hated me (she already hated me when I stole them), when I was a fine dining line cook
This was probably 6 or 7 years ago, and they went on a really elegant plated dessert (something with chocolate mousse probably). The top layer was a vanilla flavor, and the bottom was kahlua flavor. They were so pillowy and soft
Thank you for the idea! I make marshmallows for Christmas gifts. I make a bunch of different flavours, my favourite being London fog with a vanilla layer and an earl grey tea layer. I could have fun making different cocktail flavours.

Mocha wants to be in the family too!
She also looks like she could have ragdoll in her. All the floof!
She actually looks a lot like my now deceased mitted seal point ragdoll. Just without the white bits. I shed a little tear because OP's cat reminds me of her. She's still missed so much.
I love seeing cats who remind me of her. Hug your kitties tight! I say as I look over to my other cat currently snoring away on the laundry basket.
My ex isn't colourblind but he always mixed up brown and grey. It's almost like he learned the wrong word for each colour but it wasn't that because I've come across several men who mix them up.
https://preview.redd.it/vdnl3sejoodc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e42bc1475590e299b9370f278042214a36801c06
According to my roommate only one of these cats is gray. The dark gray one is brown because " he looks brown in the light", she has a really bad stigmatism which may play a factor. She constantly calls the tiger 'the gray boy'. They are both boys. My only other cat is a tortie. 🙃
Oh no I wasn't joking lol, we discovered my brother was colorblind when he said our brown blanket we had for years was red/maroon. That was an interesting day.
I had a seal-point furball like that. Depending on the quality of the light and how warm it was, he would shift from being as silver as the lonely moor to a coffee-dusted terror lounging in the summer sun until my ankles came into range.
The colorpoint gene in cats that produces the pattern for Siamese/Burmese/Ragdoll/etc. breeds and colorpoint SIC's (standard-issue cats) is a temperature dependent albino gene. It dilutes out color in all the warm areas of the body, leaving the cooler extremities the original, underlying coat color.
A seal point cat would have been a black cat but has the colorpoint gene, diluting it to a black to dark brown on the points and brown to cream on the warm core-body areas. Other coat colors have their own "XX-point" names- a gray cat becomes a lilac point, an orange cat becomes a flame point, a tabby cat becomes a lynx point, torti becomes torti point, etc.
Tuxedo-cat style white patches are produced by a different mechanism and therefore overlay the colorpoint scheme, so "snowshoe" colorpoints can often have the white face blaze and white feet/chest on top of their colorpoint scheme. that's my favorite- seal point or dark lynx point with white face and feet ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Seal point is what happens when a black (or tuxedo) cat carries the dilution gene that causes the fur color to fade on the warmer parts of the body. The collective term for this color is “colorpoint”.
Colorpoint cats can come in different colors and patterns including grey (called blue), red (called flame), and various tabby colors (called lynx point), but they will always have blue eyes as the dilution gene is a form of albinism.
It’s not related to a breed. Pointed cats have the same color mapping gene as pointed rabbits.
Here’s my seal mitted mutt kitty, I got him from the shelter. He was a random bred farm cat from Wyoming.
He is essentially a tuxedo cat with the colorpoint dilute gene that makes his fur lighter on the warmest parts of his body. This is also why colorpoint kittens are born pure white and darken over time.

We also have a big blue lynx point cat, he’s a muted grey with ghost tabby stripes on his points, and much lighter body fur than this guy.

Brand new seal point, siblings are all black. I can just see the color coming at the ears and tail
Points like this. With pigmentation on ears feet and tail is a genetic coloring trait where the warmer body regions have little to no pigmentation. The word before “point” describes the color of the pigment that shows. So you have seal points, flame points, etc.
I have a street cat that was a white kitten and now has orange points. His attitude is all orange boi with the added demanding vocals of a Siamese diva. Needless to say he has no personal boundaries.

It's a color style of Birmin cats. Seal points have the traditional markings of the breed, but they are very dark. Blue (?)points have the same markings, but are instead grey.
I think it's blue point, my parents had 2 Birmins years ago and I'm trying to pull from memory. I think there's also a 3rd point that's fairly recent.
General points (not tied to specific breeds) can be seal, chocolate, lilac, blue, flame, uhhh....cinnamon, maybe. There's quite a few points colors depending on breed!
My cats are mutts, but seal point and lilac point coloring

I was just telling my husband I always thought Siamese were assholes growing up *just* because of that scene/song. Now we have a Siamese and I was so misled!
Apparently that’s what they wanted you to think though so it worked! I wasn’t old enough to understand the apparent racism in the song, like I said I just looked it up and was made aware of it.
We had some Siamese when I was younger and all I remember is they were talkers… like never stopped meowing and it wasn’t a normal meow, it was like a yowling!! I thought the song was just signifying they were chatty cats.
they can be ”assholes“ if scared… my ex and i got a siam kitten. apparently she was to early from her mom seperated and became ill after 2 days with us. so we go to the vet and this little kitten, at her first chance, jumped mid air made a kung fu strike in the blink of an eye vanished into an corner and me and the vet got seriously scratched and blood was everywhere. The Vet looked like a mess and boi was she angry😅 I was bleeding on her floor standing in a pool of blood. After collecting ourselves, cookie (the cat) got sedated and had to sleep overnight there as far as i remember.
One of my first cats was a Siamese stray that walked in our house and stayed. She was so nice and sweet. Very chatty and seemed to follow a conversation. Followed me around everywhere. Boy I miss her still.
Can confirm. I'm color blind and see a grey cat here. Knowing I'm color blind leads me to believe others in debates on any "what color is this" topics?
Edit: spelling
Seal point? Chocolate point?
My friend had a ragdoll siamese mix, we still have her kitten 18 years later who is somehow a freaking tortie?? Does that mean dad was a tortie? Idk how tortie colorations work gene wise.
I had a calico snowshoe, sweetest baby in the world. Loved being held and cuddled. Sorry photo was from dad's facebook. He kept all her pictures for me haha! I lost the ones on my phone originally.

My ragdoll fucked around with a purebred Siamese and pooped out 6 clones of herself
she did the same with my bluepoint ragdoll, only a single kitten survived so we kept her and now I have two cats that I can't tell apart from one another haha

He’s old and just mostly sleeps on me now, but he also has the crystal, ice blue colored eyes. This is our current position this morning. I’ve needed to go to the bathroom for about an hour and a half, but I cannot disturb my handsome boy.
Seal point. This is my seal point boy.

He’s so handsome and looks so much like my toasted marshmallow-that’s the only way I’ve ever been able to describe his coloring
Seal point,more cream I'd U mean actual colour- the MORPH is Seal point. Aka birman/Siamese/ragdoll with acessive black/dark pigment. Your cat is very pretty!

Seal point! Looks like my ragdoll, Cookie!
Colorpoint --> Seal Point.
(I call them the '70's brown')

My guy is considered “white and seal”, so I’d say yours is definitely just seal.

I go through this with my Himalayan ragdoll!
I see cream, tan, brown, and dark brown/black. Seal point patterning.
I saw that someone was suggesting the cat is gray. Your cat is not, but mine is. She's also some type of point colored, but I'm not sure which one specifically. Lynx point is the closest I've found. She's got some white, cream, taupe, gray, and dark gray.

A nice toasted top like a creme brulee
Love a good snowshoe :)
I absolutely love her Marilyn Monroe beauty mark!
Uneven cooking. Burnt on top, raw on the bottom. Still a beautiful marshmallow.
She’s so pretty she looks fake lol
Her has a little Marilyn Monroe beauty mark under her nose!!! Gorgeous!!!
My husband loves to call our point a cat-pucchino. Our gold colored cat is blond roast and black cat is dark roast.

Where did you find a ragdoll? My prince looks like this one. I am trying to find another but don’t want to just go to breeder that’s trying to make show cats
Visit different shelters to give your next cat an opportunity to choose you Personality is 1000% more important than 'breed'
I bet there are Ragdoll rescues that could point you in the right direction.
I second this ✋
My daughter's kitty is a bit lighter than this one and her name is Toast
I want my cat in that colorway

That sounds fantastic
I’ve never seen those but they seem tasty
They are! They originally come from Italy, and they usually come in two colors, but I thought the triple chocolate looked the most like the cat
Why have you done this? I’m now sitting here trying to talk myself out of a massive Venchi order.
And now I’m craving their hot chocolate
I’ve never seen this before but I want one
Brown, but ombre
Thank you, this supports my argument.
It’s seal colored, which in pointed cat colors basically means dark brown.
Your cat varies from black, through brown, to cream with a splash of blue!
Almost looks like the cat has a balayage for a fur colour lol

Seal point. Himalayan? But def a seal point.
She also looks like she could have ragdoll in her. All the floof! She actually looks a lot like my now deceased mitted seal point ragdoll. Just without the white bits. I shed a little tear because OP's cat reminds me of her. She's still missed so much. I love seeing cats who remind me of her. Hug your kitties tight! I say as I look over to my other cat currently snoring away on the laundry basket.
Do you see any gray on her?
Only the couch
Thank you!
Was a friend of your saying she was grey? Do they know they're colorblind? Lol
My fiancé thinks she’s gray. I did look up some colorblind tests which he passed just fine.
Oh bless him then, he just doesn't have color coordination XD
She is definitely not grey
My ex isn't colourblind but he always mixed up brown and grey. It's almost like he learned the wrong word for each colour but it wasn't that because I've come across several men who mix them up.

The dark gray one is brown because " he looks brown in the light", she has a really bad stigmatism which may play a factor. She constantly calls the tiger 'the gray boy'. They are both boys. My only other cat is a tortie. 🙃
I realize this is intended as a joke, but seriously your friend might be red color blind!
Oh no I wasn't joking lol, we discovered my brother was colorblind when he said our brown blanket we had for years was red/maroon. That was an interesting day.
No, I don’t see gray. She is beautiful though!
I had a seal-point furball like that. Depending on the quality of the light and how warm it was, he would shift from being as silver as the lonely moor to a coffee-dusted terror lounging in the summer sun until my ankles came into range.
Noooooo now I’m confused. The eyebrows are kind of gray, now that you mention it. Is this going to be the gold/black dress??
Seal point
A lot of people are chiming in Seal point. May I ask what makes a cat a seal point? And are there other types of points?
The colorpoint gene in cats that produces the pattern for Siamese/Burmese/Ragdoll/etc. breeds and colorpoint SIC's (standard-issue cats) is a temperature dependent albino gene. It dilutes out color in all the warm areas of the body, leaving the cooler extremities the original, underlying coat color. A seal point cat would have been a black cat but has the colorpoint gene, diluting it to a black to dark brown on the points and brown to cream on the warm core-body areas. Other coat colors have their own "XX-point" names- a gray cat becomes a lilac point, an orange cat becomes a flame point, a tabby cat becomes a lynx point, torti becomes torti point, etc. Tuxedo-cat style white patches are produced by a different mechanism and therefore overlay the colorpoint scheme, so "snowshoe" colorpoints can often have the white face blaze and white feet/chest on top of their colorpoint scheme. that's my favorite- seal point or dark lynx point with white face and feet ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
I wish to sign up for additional cat facts
Underrated comment
Seal point is what happens when a black (or tuxedo) cat carries the dilution gene that causes the fur color to fade on the warmer parts of the body. The collective term for this color is “colorpoint”. Colorpoint cats can come in different colors and patterns including grey (called blue), red (called flame), and various tabby colors (called lynx point), but they will always have blue eyes as the dilution gene is a form of albinism. It’s not related to a breed. Pointed cats have the same color mapping gene as pointed rabbits. Here’s my seal mitted mutt kitty, I got him from the shelter. He was a random bred farm cat from Wyoming. He is essentially a tuxedo cat with the colorpoint dilute gene that makes his fur lighter on the warmest parts of his body. This is also why colorpoint kittens are born pure white and darken over time. https://preview.redd.it/1g7iiey9dmdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5292e10aade4cc131b5c6d56b8f71433bc4fc88d We also have a big blue lynx point cat, he’s a muted grey with ghost tabby stripes on his points, and much lighter body fur than this guy.

Points like this. With pigmentation on ears feet and tail is a genetic coloring trait where the warmer body regions have little to no pigmentation. The word before “point” describes the color of the pigment that shows. So you have seal points, flame points, etc. I have a street cat that was a white kitten and now has orange points. His attitude is all orange boi with the added demanding vocals of a Siamese diva. Needless to say he has no personal boundaries. https://preview.redd.it/vhc9i704zmdc1.png?width=1802&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd147a8ff352c39f024bbeec7ab25098ed0e14b8
It's a color style of Birmin cats. Seal points have the traditional markings of the breed, but they are very dark. Blue (?)points have the same markings, but are instead grey. I think it's blue point, my parents had 2 Birmins years ago and I'm trying to pull from memory. I think there's also a 3rd point that's fairly recent.
General points (not tied to specific breeds) can be seal, chocolate, lilac, blue, flame, uhhh....cinnamon, maybe. There's quite a few points colors depending on breed!
My cats are mutts, but seal point and lilac point coloring https://preview.redd.it/6lbdtj7demdc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=977d06dccd804bb1d32992a9c54dccaa920e6941
Ummmmmm I see a cutie pie hue
I agree.
Brown sugar bubble tea
Yep seal point
Not so much as a color as a fur pattern. Seal point siamese.
It just seal point.
“We are Siamese if you please, we are Siamese if you don’t please” Just looked it up and apparently that song was removed because of it being racist.
I was just telling my husband I always thought Siamese were assholes growing up *just* because of that scene/song. Now we have a Siamese and I was so misled!
Apparently that’s what they wanted you to think though so it worked! I wasn’t old enough to understand the apparent racism in the song, like I said I just looked it up and was made aware of it. We had some Siamese when I was younger and all I remember is they were talkers… like never stopped meowing and it wasn’t a normal meow, it was like a yowling!! I thought the song was just signifying they were chatty cats.
I have a fairly chatty SIC and am now wondering if would happen if I got a Siamese.
Siamese are known for being some of the most social breeds among cats, probably a feature of being the oldest stabilized cat breed.
they can be ”assholes“ if scared… my ex and i got a siam kitten. apparently she was to early from her mom seperated and became ill after 2 days with us. so we go to the vet and this little kitten, at her first chance, jumped mid air made a kung fu strike in the blink of an eye vanished into an corner and me and the vet got seriously scratched and blood was everywhere. The Vet looked like a mess and boi was she angry😅 I was bleeding on her floor standing in a pool of blood. After collecting ourselves, cookie (the cat) got sedated and had to sleep overnight there as far as i remember.
One of my first cats was a Siamese stray that walked in our house and stayed. She was so nice and sweet. Very chatty and seemed to follow a conversation. Followed me around everywhere. Boy I miss her still.
Seal point yes. Siamese not unless you have the cat's papers.
Siamese is a breed, not a colour, that cat is not a Siamese.
Seal point
is this like that dress? is the cat actually blue?
My fiancé says she’s gray.
Your fiancé is color blind
Can confirm. I'm color blind and see a grey cat here. Knowing I'm color blind leads me to believe others in debates on any "what color is this" topics? Edit: spelling
more like brownscale? does your fiancé only ever briefly glance at the cat while squinting?
Oh no, is he color blind? This cat is 50 shades of brown.
She's absolutely not grey, but it's so interesting to me how we all see color slightly differently.

Slightly burnt marshmallow. S’more coloured.
Your cat's colour is fluffy\~
Seal point? Chocolate point? My friend had a ragdoll siamese mix, we still have her kitten 18 years later who is somehow a freaking tortie?? Does that mean dad was a tortie? Idk how tortie colorations work gene wise. I had a calico snowshoe, sweetest baby in the world. Loved being held and cuddled. Sorry photo was from dad's facebook. He kept all her pictures for me haha! I lost the ones on my phone originally. https://preview.redd.it/apu29vwd7kdc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc2fe0b1fdacb3cf828db4bfc152b06b96126ca6
My ragdoll fucked around with a purebred Siamese and pooped out 6 clones of herself she did the same with my bluepoint ragdoll, only a single kitten survived so we kept her and now I have two cats that I can't tell apart from one another haha
Aw, I bet they were so cute. I wish I could have seen my cat as a kitten but I adopted her when she was 2 and had already been spayed.

I see cream, tan, brown, and dark brown/black. Seal point patterning. I saw that someone was suggesting the cat is gray. Your cat is not, but mine is. She's also some type of point colored, but I'm not sure which one specifically. Lynx point is the closest I've found. She's got some white, cream, taupe, gray, and dark gray. https://preview.redd.it/fqremlmfwldc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce1886ca1c2bcd002b3f102b9d2b19bab8b51fa7
