Blue Point Siamese

The Blue Point Siamese is a color point of the well-known and highly regarded Siamese breed. It is noted for its beauty as well as its intelligence and its tendency to vocalize. The Siamese is a very chatty cat that will want to have conversations with its owner all day. This purebred can be expensive, especially for a kitten with show standard breeding, and they can be prone to separation anxiety, which is common in cats that combine intelligence and loving natures.

The breed has existed for centuries but gained official recognition in 1934. Since then, they have become one of the most recognizable of all breeds. There are only four official types of Siamese, and because it is the Seal Point that is considered the primary color point that all others stem from, the Blue Point is more difficult to find.

Like the Blue, the Chocolate Point Siamese is a genetic variation or a dilution of the original Seal Point Siamese whereas Lilac is accepted as being a dilution of the Chocolate. When you see other color points and marking references, such as tortie Siamese, these are not true Siamese and are considered to be ColorPoint Shorthairs instead. They are just as beautiful, in their own right, but are not recognized as Siamese.

The Siamese is one of the best-recognized cat breeds. It is well known for its stunning looks, as well as its tendency to vocalize everything. There are four recognized color points of Siamese, with the Blue Point Siamese being a diluted version of the original Seal Point. It is rarer and more expensive than the Seal Point but, despite its color difference, it is similar in most other aspects to the standard. Siamese are friendly, make good family pets, and are intelligent and sociable animals that can make great family pets.

Doreen Tovey,the much-loved author of 'Cats in the Belfry' and other novels aboutlife with Siamese cats as well as squirrels, horses, donkeys and otheranimals, described the Blue Point as 'a Siamese that has apparently just had a blue rinse'.

The blue point Siamese cat has a white body with bluish-grey markings on their face, legs, tail, and ears. These cats are known for being affectionate, social, and intelligent. They are also very vocal! It can be worrying buying a kitten in an unusual color or pattern for their breed, but this is one of those cases where you are probably onto a winner.

Blue point is one of the official Siamese cat colors. But, there are three others to note. There is the lilac point Siamese cat. This version also has a white body, but will have pinky-grey markings. The chocolate point Siamese cat has a cream body with pale brown markings. And, finally, the seal point Siamese has very dark brown markings on a fawn body.

Blue point only refers to the color of your Siamese cat. Their personality will normally be just like any other Siamese. Although there is the potential for certain characteristics to be exaggerated if the breeders have been line breeding to cement an unusual color in their cats.

We both our blue point siamese over a month ago when we got her from breeder she was nearly 12weeks old. She likes to bite me in the morning for her food. Our lil venus is so playful, very jealous if I show any form of physical affection to my partner or family member, she wants the same. So when we hug each other at home. Venus must get the same attention or she goes sad. She finds her sleeping area as a toy to play with. She never sleeps in it, she will rather sleep on top of my shoe rack, inside of my cupboard, back and underneath the sofa.

In order to get aiamese, both parents should carry the himalayan gene. If there are no aiamese blue points to start with, these can be bred by using the following method: siamese seal point is mated with a Blue. The resulting blacks are mated together, as they carry both himalayan and blue dilution. When the resulting blues are mated together, there should be some siamese blue points born. In order to deepen the point colour, siamese blue points should be mated to blues carrying the himalayan gene.

The faults to monitor closely are white belly (which is genetically caused by tan gene) and white in the tail, which are both (as most faults) hard to breed out once they're bred in a strain. White bellies get into siamese strains usually from himalayans, where the white belly isn't usually seen until the mouse ages andthe body color darkens - or getting young with a distinctive fox belly.

The Siamese cat (Thai: แมวไทย, Maeo Thai; แมวสยาม, Maeo Seeaam) is one of the first distinctly recognized breeds of Asian cat. Derived from the Wichianmat landrace, one of several varieties of cat native to Thailand (formerly known as Siam), the original Siamese became one of the most popular breeds in Europe and North America in the 19th century. The carefully refined, more extreme-featured, modern-style Siamese is characterized by blue almond-shaped eyes; a triangular head shape; large ears; an elongated, slender, and muscular body; and various forms of point colouration. Other than colouration, the modern-style Siamese bears little resemblance to the original stock, and the more moderate, traditional, or \"old-style\" Siamese, with a much rounder head and body, has been re-established by multiple registries as the Thai cat. The International Cat Association describes the modern Siamese as affectionate, social, intelligent, and playful into adulthood, often enjoying a game of fetch.[1] Siamese tend to seek human interaction and also like companionship from other cats.

The Siamese (sometimes in the traditional form) is among the foundation stock of several other breeds developed by crossbreeding with other cats; some examples are the Oriental Shorthair and Colorpoint Shorthair, developed to expand the range of coat patterns; the long-haired variant most often dubbed the Himalayan; and hair-mutation breeds, including the Cornish Rex, Sphynx, Peterbald, and blue-point Siamese cat. The Siamese cat comes in two distinct variations: traditional, with a rounded head (though not as rounded as the later American Apple-head mix) and a slightly chubby body; or the modern Siamese, which is very skinny and has a wedge-shaped head. The long-haired Siamese is recognized internationally as a Balinese cat. Siamese cats are one of the more common breeds to have non-white irises.

The breed standard of the modern Siamese calls for an elongated, tubular, and muscular body and a triangular head, forming a perfect triangle from the tip of the nose to each tip of the ear. The eyes are almond-shaped and light blue, while the ears are large, wide-based, and positioned more toward the side of the head. The breed has a long neck, a slender tail, and fur that is short, glossy, fine, and adheres to the body with no undercoat. Its pointed colour scheme and blue eyes distinguish it from the closely related Oriental Shorthair. The modern Siamese shares the pointed colour pattern with the Thai, or traditional Siamese, but they differ in head and body type.

The pointed pattern is a form of partial albinism, resulting from a mutation in tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production. The mutated tyrosinase enzyme is heat-sensitive; it fails to work at normal body temperatures but becomes active in cooler (< 33 C) areas of the skin.[13] This results in dark colouration in the coolest parts of the cat's body, including the extremities and the face, which is cooled by the passage of air through the sinuses. All Siamese kittens, although pure cream or white at birth, develop visible points in the first few months of life in colder parts of their body.[14] By the time a kitten is four weeks old, the points should be sufficiently clearly distinguishable to recognise which colour they are. Siamese cats tend to darken with age, and generally, adult Siamese living in warm climates have lighter coats than those in cool climates. 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 considered \"inferior\" seal points and were not qualified for showing or breeding. 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 and cream points, lynx (tabby) points, and tortoise-shell (\"tortie\") points. .mw-parser-output div.crossreference{padding-left:0}(For more information on cat coat terminology, see Cat coat genetics.)

In the United Kingdom, all pointed Siamese-style cats are considered part of the Siamese breed. In the United States, a major cat registry, the Cat Fanciers' Association, considers only the four original fur colours as Siamese: seal point, blue point, chocolate point, and lilac point. Oriental Shorthair cats with colour points in colours or patterns aside from these four are considered colour point Shorthairs in that registry. The World Cat Federation has also adopted this classification, treating the colour point Short hair as a distinct breed.[10]

The same albino allele that produces coloured points means that Siamese cats' blue eyes lack a tapetum lucidum, a structure which amplifies dim light in the eyes of other cats. The mutation in the tyrosinase also results in abnormal neurological connections between the eye and the brain.[23] The optic chiasm has abnormal uncrossed wiring; many early Siamese were cross-eyed to compensate, but like the kinked tails, the crossed eyes have been seen as a fault, and due to selective breeding the trait is far less common today. Still, this lack of a tapetum lucidum even in uncross-eyed cats, causes reduced
