Coat Type, Color & Grooming

similar to those of Siamese cats, with
darker "points" on the face,
ears, feet, and tail. The predominant coat
color is cream, with seal, chocolate,
blue, or lilac points. Nose and paw pads
match the point color.
Physical
Attributes
Medium sized; sleek, muscular body; hind
legs longer than front legs; long,
wedge-shaped head with large, pointed ears
and almond-shaped eyes; long, silky coat.

neurological defect; nystagmus (a slight
but very rapid jerking back-and-forth of
the eyes); congenital heart defects.
