About the Colorpoint Shorthair
The Colorpoint Shorthair is essentially a Siamese cat bred in a range of non-traditional point colors, such as red, cream, tortie, and lynx (tabby) points. It shares the same slender, elegant body type, short glossy coat, vocal personality, and intense social nature as the Siamese. The breed is known for its striking blue eyes, color contrast, and affectionate, people-oriented temperament. It is recognized as a separate breed in some registries (like CFA) but considered a color division of the Siamese in others.
