SHORT HAIRED CATS
SHORT-HAIRED SIAMESE. BLUE-POINTED
Many of the remarks made regarding the
Seal-pointed Siamese are also applicable to the Blue-points.
These are also becoming quite popular, and are most attractive,
with glacial white body colouring and blue points. There are
a few exceptionally good in type and body shape being shown,
but as a general rule the body is inclined to be too heavy
and the bone not as fine as that of the Seal-points. The colour
too is not always all that could be desired. The eyes must
be Oriental in shape and the colour a clear vivid blue. The
blue of the points, that is the ears, mask, legs and tail,
should all be of the same colouring, and the ears not a darker
shade as often happens. A close coat of finest texture is
required.
Standard
The standard is as for Seal-points, with these
exceptions:
Colour Points blue, the ears, mask, legs, paws
and tail to be the same
colour; the ears should not be darker than the other points.
Eyes Clear bright vivid blue.
Body Body colour glacial white, shading
gradually into blue on
back, the same cold tone as the points but of a lighter shade.
