What different kind of siamese cats are there?

Answer 1

Originally the vast majority of Siamese had seal (extremely dark brown, almost black) points, but occasionally Siamese were born with blue (a cool grey) points, genetically a dilution of seal point; chocolate (lighter brown) points, a genetic variation of seal point; or lilac (pale warm gray) points, genetically a diluted chocolate. These colours were at first considered "inferior" seal points, and were not qualified for showing or breeding. Each of these shades were eventually accepted by the breed associations, and became more common through breeding programmes specifically aimed at producing these colours. Later, outcrosses with other breeds developed Siamese-mix cats with points in other cat colours and patterns including red point, lynx (tabby) point, and tortoise-shell ("tortie") point. In the United Kingdom, all pointed Siamese-style cats are considered to be part of the Siamese breed. In the United States, the major cat registry, the Cat Fanciers' Association, considers only the four original colourations as Siamese: seal point, blue point, chocolate point, and lilac point. Oriental cats with colourpoints in colours or patterns aside from these four are considered Colourpoint Shorthairs in the American cat fancy.

Siamese have almond-shaped, bright blue eyes and short, flat-lying coats. Many Siamese cats from Thailand had a kink in their tails but over the years this trait has been considered to be a flaw and breeders have largely eradicated it, although it persists among street cats in Thailand. Many early Siamese were cross-eyed to compensate for the abnormal uncrossed wiring of the optic chiasm, which is produced by the same albino allele that produces coloured points. Like the kinked tails, the crossed eyes have been seen as a fault and through selective breeding, the trait is far less common today so 4 officialy, but about 7 or more world wide

Answer 2

And the slightly rarer black-and-white-beast-of-bodmin-panda-cross that I think my Parky is. His mum was a tabby and his dad an unknown Oriental. Parky is black and white with ears like radar, big Roman nose and a tail long enough to hang washing on. Sort of the 'lurch' of the cat world.

Answer 3

I know of 4 kinds, but I think there are a few more:
Blue Point, Seal Point, Chocolate Point and a Violet Point (?)

They are gorgeous felines and oh-so-intelligent!

Answer 4

Seal point, Choc-point, Red-point, lavender point, green point. My personal favourite is the blue-point.
