Wolflady, if Siamese do start out white maybe Marius is just a late bloomer with his points. Does he have blue eyes?
I'm not sure. I think the Siamese with the dark points are born fairly dark, and the colours deepen at several weeks of age. The light pointed colours, such as lilac, seem to be relatively pale at birth and also darken.

Check out these web sites. The first one has HEAPS of kitten photos!
