All cats are gorgeous and unique felines. But Siamese Cats are extra special. These cats often have a slim body, blue eyes, and they have pointed dark coloration along the tail, face, and paws.
This coloration is formally called “points” because Siamese are primarily white or cream.
All Siamese cats have points, but the points can come in different colors. The major cat associations only accept 4 main colors of points but there are up to 33 different colors accepted by different organizations around the globe.
Interestingly, the points can change color through the cats' lifetime!

Nellie is precious, and I did not know full grown cats could be that small. I also had no idea they come in this many colors.
ReplyDeleteYou are so pretty, Nellie Bellie! Siamese cats are gorgeous cats!

ReplyDeletethe fur babies in your home would have luved you to bits.
Nellie, you were SO pretty and your colours were gorgeous! In our group of 6 Angel Meezers we had 2 seal points, a chocolate point, and three blue points! Pipo was a seal point, and Minko was a blue point...or perhaps a blue lynx point because if we looked carefully we could see some tabby like markings.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week, all of you!
We never knew there were so many variations on Siamese cat colors. Nellie sure was a beauty.
ReplyDeleteNellie Bellie! My best best best furriend EVER in the world! I miss you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteOur mom had absolutely no idea there were so many different point colors for Siamese Cats. Can one litter have kittens who develop different color points from the mother or each other? Nice to see sweet angel Nellie today. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta & Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer, Kizmet, Audrey & Raleigh
