Colorpoints
(Siamese & Various Other Breeds)
Often
called the Siamese pattern or
Himalayan pattern
(after Himalayan rabbits). As well as the
colourpointed coat, they have blue eyes. Pointed
cats are slow to develop their full body and point
color and kittens/young cats have paler points or
markings Older cats have darker body color.
Temperature affects the point color - the coldest
areas (the 'points' i.e. ears, legs, tail) are
darker than the body and things like environment
temperature, a fever or even bandaging a leg
because of injury will affect the color.
