@YourFanForLife23 They should; tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for pigmentation, is activated only at lower temperatures, so they shouldn't have much color as newborns since they have been developing inside their mother. Once they are born, parts of their bodies (ears, feet, tail, face/nose) drop below the inactivation temperature, and the pigment enzyme is activated, giving them their distinctive color pattern.
Do Siamese kittens get their markings as they gorw up?
