Chocolate Point

Identifying A Chocolate Point Himalayan

Both parents must either be or carry chocolate/lilac in order for any of their progeny to show this color. If only one parent is a chocolate/lilac then all offspring will be carriers.

When inquiring about any new prospect, if at all possible its always best to view the cat in person.

Check the pedigrees to verify chocolate/lilac is present.
