Who do *you* think is the saddest warrior?

All the drawings done by me in the video:

Hello! I believe she's a black (aka seal) tortoiseshell point with white. (Not mink, siamese-type point.) She has the characteristic blue eyes, and points can easily get this dark.

The very pale red is also normal, colorpoint washes out the red pigment more efficiently than the black, so flame points are much paler than seals, and on torties the red patches can seem almost white. Strictly speaking it's not dilution, since the cat's genotype is still D_, nevertheless it's a lightening effect.

This will maybe makes it easier to understand the terminology: lynx is just a fancy word for tabby. So a lynx point is a tabby point. The same way a tabby cat can be black or lilac, a lynx point can be black (seal) lynx or lilac lynx. (Black, the 'default' cat color, is often called "seal" in pointed cats.)

Consider the cats respectively in the top right corner: both are lynx points, but the first is a seal lynx, the second is a lilac lynx.

Now about your cat. Lilac isn't a standard color in siberians, so it's unlikely for her to be lilac, and anyway she has a black tailtip that reveals her base color is black. You're right about her being tabby, and i strongly suspect she's golden too on top of this, that's why she has yellow tones and a pink nose without any noticeable dark outline, very possibly specifically the siberian flavor of golden, sunshine (corin).

And i might be too daring, but considering the noticeably silver shades on her forehead, and the fact that this is a siberian, i think you got yourself a silver sunshine, aka a bimetal point. Which is insanely cool.

I haven't seen a lot of bimetal points but her colors remind me of the full colors bimetals very strongly.

Wuh, i think that's lilac again. They look very solid, almost no tabbying, and the longhair's nose doesn't look like that of a cream. If you look at this lilac-cream tortie, the lilac parts are closer to these cats' colors than the creams for me.

Lilac is the dilution of chocolate, both of these are very rare in the general cat population (more common in certain breeds, british for example).

Usually spotted tabbys have lots of little spots, but these look so large and blotchy, almost like the rosettes on bengals, but since these are street cats I doubt that...

Just a weird blotched tabby?

Screen shots for convenience

Hm, those spots really do resemble to rosettes, althought they seem to be single colored, lacking that lighter, "empty" middle (non-charcoal) bengal rosettes of this size have:

But this is something the bengal breeders explicitely want, so it might not be a trait that's actually inseperatable from rosettes.
