Siamese cats ....


I am so confused....

Lilac, seal point, chocolate.....

I love siamese cats, so thought it would be nice to know what the different names mean - if that makes sense?!

Can someone help me??

Thanks

Tanya

Re: Siamese cats ....


Hi Tanya, the colours refer to what colour the 'points' are on the cat. So if it's a chocolate point Siamese then it will have a cream body with chocolate coloured face, ears, tail and paws. Seal is another word for black so if it's seal point then it has black face, paws, ears and tail with a cream body. Lilac is dilute of chocolate so is a very very pale chocolate colour which looks lilac. Blue is dilute of black (seal) and is a grey colour. There are a whole host of other colours too and tabby and tortie points too. Hth

Re: Siamese cats ....


Another question ...

If you were going to buy a siamese and have it as a pet (rather than breed or show), what sort of price would you be expected to pay?

Thanks in advance
