Seal Point Siamese Adult


The Siamese cat comes in a variety of colors. There is the seal point, chocolate point, blue point, and lilac point.





What is meant by point color is the color that appears on the face or mask, ears, paws and tail. That color can be black, brown, blue or lilac. The rest of the body or coat, should be clear.





The Siamese kitten will develop its point color within the first few weeks of its life. By the time the kitten is four weeks old, you can tell what color the points are.

The show standard for the Siamese is very specific:

Clear Coat
Long Whippy Tail with no visible tail fault (kink)
Tight,Tubular Body
Long Legs
Head to be a Nice Wedge
Ears flared and good size (not too small and not straight up in the air)
Eyes Almond Shaped - not round - Eye color must be blue





Siamese cats and kittens are very sweet, affectionate and extremely vocal. They are also very loyal and highly intelligent. I've had Siamese kittens and cats who used to love to fetch whether it be a toy or ball. Never taught them how to - they just learned on their own!!!





Another breed called the "Colorpoint Shorthair" resembles the Siamese in temperment, body type and point color. But the Colorpoint comes in more exotic colors. There is the red point, cream point, tortie point and lynx points. The redpoints and cream points have red or cream color on their points. The tortie point comes in a variety of colors (seal, blue, chocolate and lilac) and has mottling on the points. The lynx point also comes in seal, blue, chocolate and lilac as well as red and cream. But in the lynx point, there is barring on the points. The show standard is the same for Colorpoints as it is for Siamese.

Although I am deeply fond of the Siamese, my love for felines extends to all cats!!
