Queen cat Matahari and her kitten Matata

Two year old doll-faced Persian Queen cat Matahari and her 73 days old kitten "Matata" at home in Mumbai. There has been a tremendous change in the physiology as well as temperament of cat Matahari after delivery and weaning of her 6 kittens. This rare brown coloured kitten I have kept with me , while the rest have been sold to the male stud owner. Is "Matahari" more of a "Turkish Angora"? Her kitten has the best qualities of a "Doll-Faced Persian", strange that the various out-crossings and inbreeding have resulted in a kitten totally different in appearance from the parents.

This is also how the "Peki Persian cat" was evolved from the original "Doll-faced Persian cats".
