The Buff Kitten
The Teddy BearThis little fellow reminds me of Baloo, the character in Disney's Jungle Book. When he nurses, he likes to lie on his back. He closes his eyes and massages the air with both front feet. His actions remind me of Baloo singing about the 'Bare (or is it Bear) Necessities' while scratching his back on a tree. This kitten is definitely a live and let live kind of guy. As long as he can eat and play with his brothers, he is happy.
His color is most unusual. At first I thought he was a lilac point, but now I am unsure. As he grows, more and more stripes appear on his head and legs. The hair on his body is a lovely tan color. The one thing that hasn't changed are his beautiful blue eyes. When he is tired of playing, he crawls into my lap, looks into my eyes and purrs . . . unconditional trust . . . unconditional love.
When he crawls up, he is ready to nap. I swaddle him in a towel and he falls asleep in my arms. Like all of his brothers, he is a special gift. If you have an opinion about his coloring, please write a comment. Perhaps collectively, we will solve the mystery. Enjoy the picture below!
He could turn out to be a red lynx point.
They have tabby stripe "points" w/blue eyes.
I rescued one years ago that was part of a Himilayan mix. "George" was the only gray lynx point in the litter and the only shorthair (daddy must have been a tabby tom).
My brother adopted him. He lived 14 yrs and grew to be huge. Had the bluest eyes I've ever seen.
Likely, if the other kittens' eyes are turning and his aren't, then they'll stay blue. A red lynx point, rare and beautiful... a keeper. :)

He is the biggest kitten in the litter and growing like a weed. Thanks for the info!
