My cats range from 7 to 11. They’re still my kittens.

I'm not totally sure on this, but I think Patch might be part Siamese. As you can surmise from the photo, she doesn't have the appropriate markings but she does have a similar build. And of the litters I know of, just about every one included a colorpoint kitten, although they were usually some variant of "tabby-point" rather than solid point.

Including this one, who now owns one of my friends.

Looks of Siamese ancestry alright.

My neighbor adopted a beautiful barn cat kitten who now terrorizes the other cats in the neighborhood. She’s made my cat’s life pure hell, to the extent that he doesn’t want to go outside any more. Some people say that barn cats can never be fully domesticated.

So please, keep your barn cats inside.
