Maire52 says: Muffin is our surprise pale pointed kitten from a dark tortoiseshell mother. I always wanted a colourpoint cat and I feel extraordinarily lucky that, out of the blue, my fairly ordinary though beautiful and much loved tortie Sushi gave birth to this kitten. The vet says she is not a true colourpoint, but she is close enough for me. I thought I would have to pay for one. She looks like she has pedigree somewhere down or up the line. From my research on the Internet, I think she must have some ragdoll (she is very floppy and relaxed, unlike her mum) or some Birman in her. But really she is just a moggie but a very special one. Muffin adores being in the garden. She is a mega washer which is good considering the amount of fur she has. She takes care of it entirely by herself. She does however have the nickname Birdbrain and I wonder if she sees very well. She is clumsy when climbing and at five weeks old fell out of our bedroom window onto the conservatory roof. Luckily I had a big towel handy to drop out of the window and she managed to climb back up. What can I say? Muffin is beautiful, of questionable intelligence, has mood swings, and is absolutely adored by her family, even my husband who calls her “that daft cat.”

Muffin is a big happy surprise! Mega washers, like my Benny, sometimes throw up a surprising hairball. My kitty will be peacefully sleeping, then suddenly and fiercely wash himself from head to toe, like it's a national emergency!

@Natthecat, sharp eyes! That does look like another Siamese-mix cat serving as a pillow.
Wish I could have a pillow like that one, but our "pet-friendly" apartment complex charges a lot in fees and pet rent.

"Clumsy when climbing" could mean problems with vision or coordination. I hope you will give this long-haired "mega-washer" beauty a good brushing regularly.

She is so beautiful! But it is not safe for any cat to leave any window open without a screen.

Impossible to pick the best photo. She is so cute in them all. I chose this one because it is indeed incredible that her mom gave birth to her! They look entirely different. She's just a doll!!

Muffin is a beautiful kitten! At 5 weeks old kittens are clumsy as they are still learning how their little bodies work. She is not old enough to be trusted in many situation that her mother handles with ease. Please take care with her for at least another 5 weeks. I have a 3 month old foster kitten in my home now and he still has his clumsy moments learning new things.

What a wonderful surprise Sushi gave you. Muffin does look much like a Ragdoll or Birman and a very pretty one indeed. Many happy years with both of your fur kids =^..^=

Oh my!!! Extreme cuteness. Muffin may not be the smartest kitty, but she sure is adorable. She does look very much like a Birman.
