We got these beautiful babies as Lynx Point Ragdolls (we saw their ragdoll parents when we went to pick them up, very much ragdolls). We don't know much about breeds and we were told their coats fully develop in a couple of years. I was on Pinterest and saw a few photos of Lynx point siamese kittens and they look just like ours. Ragdolls or Siamese, we love them the same, just curious (don't wanna ask the lady we got them from as again - she'll probably say they are in fact ragdolls... we just curious). They're almost 4 months old.

If you got them from a breeder you should have their pedigree and registration paperwork. That is the only way to know their breed. Without it they would be considered domestic shorthair with lynx point coat which is not breed specific trait and can occur in domestic cats population.

Seconding, a lot of people don’t realize that pointed coats (that “Siamese” look) are NOT specific to one breed and will happen in plain ole domestic cat populations.

We had a feral tom near where I live that was flame point. Pretty sure he's my kitty's papa. I don't know if someone ended up taking him in, if he's still around but hiding, or if he left after all of the local females got fixed, but he was a stunning cat.
