I am learning a lot - I didn't know Siamese cats get darker with age. All over darker or just their 'points' (I think that is what they call the ears and nose etc.)?

All over. The kittens are born white and later developed the points, you are correct in your thinking, however their body darkens with age.

Just a few pics fromGoogle, I just love Siamese! I could talk cat all day! 😹😻
 
Yea.. usually pure bred cats such as Siamese and Ragdolls that have color points.. darken up as they age.. Siamese and Ragdolls are all born pure white and then their points start to show after a few weeks.. then as they get older they get even more color over parts of their body... I think quality bred cats will only darken on their points and not so much all over.. Pippin is a Ragdoll and his orange points took a while to darken up...

So gorgeous! I love the picture with all 3 of them together (I think you posted that one before and I loved it then too!). I wish mine cuddled together like that.
Mine are all whatever the opposite of pure-breds are - bunch of mongrels.

Thank you... Teddy Jo was supposed to be a Ragdoll but that obviously is not the case! We were lied to... but we don’t mind.. she could quite possibly be the GREATEST CAT EVER ;)
