Ragdoll Cat Forums

I've seen lots of pictures of seal colour point cats and noticed the colour pattern of their faces are often quite different. I was wondering if there is any way of telling by looking at a kitten whether it will have a full dark face or if it will have dark around the nose/mouth/under eyes but lighter around the eyes/temples/cheeks. Basically if you can determine the size of their "mask". Also, if a seal colour point kitten is a carrier of a chocolate gene is she more likely to be lighter in colour?

Good question - I've been wondering that too!

Looking at siblings and parents may help. As for carrying chocolate, it is unexpressed and will not change the pigmentation of the cat.
