The detail
A Siamese in point colors outside the four traditional ones, such as red, cream, lynx and tortie points. CFA registers it as a separate breed; in temperament, voice and care it is a Siamese.
What to weigh
A Colorpoint is loud and needs company, and a bored one gets destructive. It shares the Siamese risks of inherited eye disease, amyloidosis and dental problems.
