Meet Luna, born October 6, 2012. I adopted her when she was nine weeks old. She is growing a lot! Does she look more Himalayan or Ragdoll? Her father is a flame-point Himalayan and the mother is a seal-point Ragdoll. Luna appears to be a flame-point. Only one of her siblings was seal-point.

Luna is so fluffy and adorable! :luv She definitely looks more Raggie than Himmy. Actually I cannot see any Himmy in her if you didn't mention it :)

But I'm confused... How can a flame point sire and seal point dam give birth to a flame point girl? It doesn't make sense... Such pairing only gives tortie point girls and seal point boys. Have you actually see the mom? I suspect the mom is a tortie point, not a seal point.

I think Luna is gorgeous, I don't care what her parents look like or what kind of cat she is. You could send her to me and I could find out.

In a few years. :grin:

Her personality is very affectionate and sociable. She loves to be around people and will follow me around the house. If I go in a room without her and close the door she will put her paw under the door haha. She also waits for me outside the bathroom. She sleeps next to me every night. She is very gentle and will lick you rather than nip at you. If you pick her up and she wants to get down she will cry instead of scratching you. I am becoming very quickly attached to her as well.

My old Billy boy used to do that. I used to take a piece of toilet paper and dangle it by the crack under the door and he would go nuts! Made me laugh and laugh!! Most fun I'd ever had on a toilet!! Thanks for the good memories! I hadn't thought of that in years.

Wow, what a beautiful flame-point kitty! I love their coloring - so warm and rich. And I agree with the others - she definitely looks more like a Ragdoll than a Himmy. :) Himmies have usually flatter faces and more rounded heads. Your girl seems to have the more angular Ragdoll head. What a little beauty :)

She is a beautiful little girl! Conformation-wise, I'd say she looks
more like a Ragdoll, but those flame-point markings make me think
of her daddy :) I'm fascinated that she got the ears, face, and
tail in flame-point, but she missed out on the front paws! Can't see
if there are any markings on the back ones since she's sitting on
them. Did mom have high white markings on the feet? Maybe the
socks just ran over the points? Either way, she's beautiful, and I
bet she is going to be a real delight personality-wise as well.
Congratulations on finding such a love!
