However, the coat of the color
point shorthair cat comes in a wider
variety of "point" colors and patterns than do the traditional
Siamese.
Possible coat colors and patterns include
red point (also called flame point), cream point, lynx points (points
featuring a tabby pattern; can be in a variety of colors), and tortie-points
(points featuring a tortoise-shell, or calico, pattern; can be in a variety
of colors).
Non-pointed coat colorations are considered part of the Oriental
Shorthair breed.
In the United Kingdom, the color point
shorthair cat is not considered a separate breed from the Siamese, and are
shown in cat shows as Siamese.
In the United States, the color point
shorthair cat is considered a separate breed.
