Cats
a litter of black-and-white
bicolours. The mother was a
non-pedigree and the father was
suspected of being a Birman cat
that lived in the area.
Below are some non-pedigree colourpoints. Capi ("Paws") is a male Siamese mix who
resembles a Snowshoe. He was photographed by Koraljka Polack on Cherso island (north
Adriatic sea) in 2007. There are several "Siamese mongrels" in the area due to a Siamese cat
that lived in the area some years ago. This bred with stray and feral cats. The third photo is a
random-bred male colourpoint.

Broadly speaking, dilution refers to making a colour lighter – like mixing a coloured paint
with white paint.
