I had one like that except he was a bob tail.
Got hit by a car when my dunb-ass ex-SIL let him out.
He had the blue eyes, too.
He had blue point Siamese in him the vet said!
I have no idea what Piper’s parents were like. She was one who was dumped off here when she was about 5 or 6 mos. old.
A friend had a cat who slipped out of the house one day while she was in heat and came back a couple of days later, all happy and calm. Two months later she unloaded a litter. Two of the kittens looked like Piper and to my friend’s knowledge, there were no Siamese cats in her area.
I dunno. Just know they’re pretty!
Bummer about your handsome fella. That just sux!
