The black gene's, "quiet sister" is the recessive or dilute gene of the black or "seal." Unlike with a new-born Persian Himalayan breeders find it more difficult at birth to tell just what color a Himalayan is, as their points don't start to come in until the first few weeks have past. If a Himalayan kittenis born white, rather than a fawn color, it could be a blue point. While called "blue," the actual points are a beautiful steel blue grey. Their noses and paw pads are a cold grey "blue." Blue points are more rare than seal points, because of the recessive gene, but Meow House does have them to buy at times.
