Identifying A Lilac Point Himalayan

Both parents must either be or carry chocolate/lilac in order for any of their progeny to show this color. If only one parent is a chocolate/lilac then all offspring will be carriers.

When inquiring about any new prospect, if at all possible its always best to view the cat in person.

Check the pedigrees to verify chocolate/lilac is present.

Lilac Point Himalayan: the point color is pale gray with a pinkish tint with the rest of the body glacial white. The nose leather will be lavender pink and paw pads pink. The eye color vivid blue. (CFA Himalayan Division)

Blue Point Himalayan - the point color is blue with the rest of the body bluish white. The nose leather and paw pads slate blue. The eye color vivid blue.






Note: point color and mask coverage may vary slightly from cat to cat.

Pale colored seal/blue points can occur, resulting in slightly lighter point and/or paw pad color causing some folks to mistake them as chocolate/lilac points.
