No matter the coat color or future eye color when developed, kittens always start out with a blue-grey eye color, which will develop by the time they're 8 weeks.

Seen in box 1. is an example of I locus on a self cat, developing as a smoke. Smokes tend to be much lighter as kittens, with more of their pale undercoat showing and more visible breakthrough tabby. As they get older they become more closely resembled to a self, becoming darker with the tabby being much less to entirely not visible.

Seen in box 2. is an example of a high white cat, specifically a Grade 10 white cat. Grade 10 white cats, who will be entirely white as an adult, are occasionally born with a small spot of pigment on the head. This is often the only way to distinguish a grade 10 white and a dominant white.

Seen in box 3. is an example of a colorpoint cat. Colorpoints are born solid white. The pigments on their points develop and spreads slowly, starting at the toes, tail, nose, and ears, while their body remains white or off-white.

Seen in box 4. is an example of a sepia cat. Sepias are born with some pigment, which darkens and spreads from the points in much the same way as a colorpoint develops their pigment. The end result is often very dark, though distinguishable from a self.

Any of these coats can occur with any self, dilute, or tortoiseshell, but only boxes 2-4 can occur with tabby.
