Well, Siamese LOOKING I guess considering its not possible for a Calico cat TO have a Siamese cat, or is it? That is my question. Does anybody know?
She had a littler of 3. A Siamese,Calico and a pure white kitten. She even has blue eyes. (aswell as the white kitten).
Her mother is purebred Sealpoint Siamese so is it possible to skip a generation and would she(my kitten) be considered Siamese?
Thanks!!

The Siamese looking kitten would be considered a Siamese Mix. She cannot be considered a pure breed because if the Siamese kitten was bred it would produce a mixed bag of kittens just like you got from your Calico.
In order for the kitten to look really Siamese both parents would have to be part Siamese which means that the father is part Siamese too.
Be glad they ARE Siamese Mix because pure white Siamese kittens are often blind.
Edit: Absolutely adorable kitten! He is showing the Siamese pointing but not the typical inherited Siamese short hair I was expecting to see. To look pointed like she is the father must also be carrying genes for pointing.

Gentics like recessive genes can always pass down, and they may never show up until later. There is also a possibility that the litter could have had different fathers. If she's an outdoor cat, another father, a siamese or something else, could have come along. Animals like dogs and cats often have litters with different fathers. It's because the sperm attaches to the walls for two weeks before fertilizing, meaning that there's a chance for another animal to get in.
Edit: That is one cute kitten. You can definitely see the Persian, but the coloring of the fur and the eyes suggest that the mother was carrying genetics from the grandmother, and the father must have had Siamese markings in there. But, no one who knows the Siamese would ever fall for the purebred idea. Siamese generally have short fur, but your kitten inherited long fur from the father.

first note, you do not have a Calico cat. There is no such breed of cat. Calico is only a color pattern in cats not a breed. I had a Persian years ago that had the calico pattern. Her kittens came out red tabby with one gray. If you have persian and siamese than there is a good chance that an offspring will carry the genetic color of the siamese.

It is NOT a Siamese kitten. It can be a Siamese mix, or a Siamese marked kitten, but not a Siamese. Siamese marked kittens are quite common it litter of other colored kittens and from parents that are not Siamese marked themselves.
You can't "skip a generation" and get a purebred cat. If the father is not Siamese, or is unknown, you cannot have a kitten that you can call a purebred Siamese.

If your Calico is an outdoor cat, chances are HIGHLY likely there will be multiple fathers which means multiple types of kittens. A litter that I fostered had 2 tabbies, 1 tuxedo, 1 Seal Point Siamese and another black and white. Outdoor cats generally will mate with more than one "father" (those dead-beats! lol)

If you are familiar with genetics the Siamese coloring known as pointed is recessive. Since your calico has a Siamese mother she would carry the gene for pointing and the father must also carry the gene (either the male you are referring to isn't a purebred Persian (as a breed they aren't allowed to be pointed. Hymalian are pointed Persians and a separate breed) or your calico's litter has more that one father. The calico is expected as long at the father is either red or black (calico females carry the genes for both she would have gotten red or black from mom and the other from dad). The white kitten like the pointed one is a recessive gene and both parents could carry it with out it showing up.

Female cats, if mated with more then one male around the same time, can have different kittens. I had a Siamese female that got out and a neighbors black cat mated with her, besides her "hubby". As a result she had 5 kittens. 3 looked liked like 'mom and dad' and the other two were sooooo different. one was pure black, and the other was a striped tabby with the M on the head. The only thing the same about all of them was that they all had blue eyes, even at the age of 3 months. One friend took the black kitten and 2 years later he still has blue eyes......beautiful black cat with blue eyes.....
