Siamese : Seal- Point
The body colour is cream, shading gradually into pale warm fawn on the back.
Kittens are paler in colour. The mask, ears, legs, feet and tail are a dense and
clearly defined seal brown with no trace of bridling. The mask is complete and
(except in kittens) connected by tracing with the ears.

body colouring and blue points. Unfortunately the colour is not always the
desired glacial white shading to blue on the flanks. Some tend to be too fawn
in body colour and too slate coloured and dark in the points, a fault which
should be bred out by selective breeding from cats of the correct colour. The
eyes, as in Seal Points, must be oriental in shape and in colour a clear vivid
blue. The blue points should all be of matching colour and the ears not a
darker shade as sometimes happens. A close coat of finest texture is required.
Blue Point
Siamese: Chocolate Point
from the earlier days of Siamese, they were not officially recognized as
a separate variety until 1950.
The body colour is ivory and the points milk chocolate. Body shading
of present must be to the colour of the points. Great emphasis should
be laid on the term ‘milk’ chocolate as opposed to ‘plain’ chocolate in
the points colour. Unfortunately there seem to be far more cats of the
darker shade than the desired lighter hue. These darker-pointed
Chocolates tend to develop heavy body shading as they mature and
do not retain the correct ivory colour.

Siamese to be granted
recognition. Their pastel colouring is delicate and distinctive.
They have been produced by selective breeding from Red Points

pale cream; the ears, mask, legs and feet are cream; the nose
leather pink, and the eyes a vivid blue.

Barring or striping on the
points is not considered a serious fault
but a hot cream (too red) is most undesirable. Other points

Siamese: Lilac-Point
L ilac-Points were originally
bred in the USA where they known as Frost Points. The first born in England were in a litter
of Blue-Points from two Blue -Point parents, both of which
carried the necessary chocolate factor to produce these colour
points.Lilac-Point have magnolia-coloured bodies which seldom
darken with age and the points are pinkish gray. The nose leather
is the colour of faded lilac and the eyes a vivid blue. The desired
points colour is not easy to attain and many lilacs are far too blue.
They can appear in any Siamese litter where both parents carry
both Blue and Chocolate genes. When bred Lilac to Lilac they
always breed true to colour.

Siamese: Tabby-Point
Lynx Point, this attractive variety was granted recognition
in 1966 under the name of Tabby point. It differs from the
solid colour Siamese in that striped markings replace the
solid points. It should have a pale body colour free from
markings. The ears should be solid with no stripes but with
a distinct thumb mark. The mask must have clearly defined
stripes and the whisker pad should be spotted. The legs have
broken stripes with solid markings on the back of the hind
legs. The tail must have clearly defined rings and a solid tip.
The nose leather may either conform to the recognized
standard for its particular colour or be pink. All colours are
acceptable in the Tabby Points: seal, blue, chocolate, lilac,
red or cream.

Siamese: Red-Point
1966 after many years of dedicated breeding by
Dr Nora Archer and Ann Ray. They are very handsome cats
with clear white body colour shading to apricot. The points
are bright reddish gold, the eyes a vivid blue and the nose
leather pink. Faults are striped tails and tabby markings on
the face.
Red Point
Siamese: Tortie-Point
of the Red Point family. Much of their charm lies in the very
varied appearance of their points. It has been said that no two
Torties are ever exactly alike in their distribution of point colours.
The basic point colours are blue, chocolate of lilac, and red or
cream markings in the points are essential. The body colour shouls
be as in equibalent solid colour Siamese.
Unfortunately some Seal Torties show very heavy body shading,
which is undesirable and should be bred out. The type and
characteristics should be as for other Siamese.
It is also possible to breed Tortie/Tabbie-Point Siamese. Resembling
Tabby Points, these cats have patches of red, cream or both
irregularly distributed over the tabby pattern of the points.
