(24,419 posts)I see a resemblance to Carys in the face shape and expression.
With those color points and blue eyes, there must be a Siamese or Siamese related breed in his background. Therefore, same with Carys. She might have some of the behavior without the appearance. Like bringing a ball to you to toss for her. She might really enjoy playing fetch.
I had a half Siamese years ago. He never got interested in playing fetch, but loved to catch things in his paws, especially pipe cleaners. He loved them so much that he would sit on command in order to have one tossed to him. He was pretty clever and mischievous in a cute way.
He followed me around like a dog on an invisible leash, always came when called, and loved catching me by surprise to ambush my legs (gently). I read that those behaviors of attachment and interactive play are typical of Siamese.
Carys warmed up slowly because she was feral, but if she has any Siamese or Siamese related breeds in her background, she might develop some of those traits.

The subtle flame points and pale blue eyes are gorgeous.

(24,419 posts)My half Siamese had the loud meow but didn't use it to point of being a nuisance. In fact, his meow is how we learned that he was half Siamese. I had noticed that he had an unusual meow when we got him from the Humane Society at 6 weeks old. But I did not know enough about Siamese to recognize it.
He had a brown, black and gray tabby coat with a white bib and belly. Green eyes. No color points.
But, on his first vet visit, he startled the vet by protesting very loudly about having a thermometer stuck up his rump. The vet checked out his body proportions, eye shape, ears, legs, head shape, and told us that our kitten definitely had Siamese ancestry and he was certain that he was half Siamese. So was I as he grew and showef all the typical Siamese behaviors.
He meowed only at certain times, though, like when responding to us when we called him, or to get our attention when he wanted something (usually food), and to chat with me when I got home from work. We had a two way conversation for about the first 15 minutes every day. He greeted me, I asked how his day was, he answered, and I said, " Really? Tell me about it." And he did.

(27,298 posts)But the day she decided she really wanted to adopt him, that was the name she gave him. I know she's really in to science fiction stuff.
His sister, Moon Dust, used to just be named Moon but her mom decided to embellish. She's still kind of shy but apparently she LOVES to watch Star Wars. Go figure.
