The colors of the Siamese

Siamese have a creamy layer of colored dots. These points are located on their muzzle, ears, paws and tail. The points are formed by a genetic mutation in coat color. This mutation inhibits the production of melanin (which produces color) in the areas of normal body temperature. Melanin is active in cooler areas of the body color on the acupoint. Therefore, the coolest areas of Siam (points) will be darker. I find this extremelyfascinating! This creates one of the best qualities of the Siamese. What is strange that the Siamese kittens are born white. The uterus is quite warm and does not lead to points after birth. Cat Fancy Association in America has four colors. Siamese Seal Point, Blue Point Siamese, Chocolate Point Siamese and Lilac Point Siamese: these are the four basic colors, they are considered.

Seal Point - The point of the Seal Point are the darkest and most seem to seal brownblack. This is the most popular color, and what most people think of when they think of a Siamese cat. In youth and young cats, the points will become more apparent. How old Seal Point Siamese, his body will be darker.

The original Siamese had of holding points and all other coat colors of Siamese seal point are derived. No wonder the seal point is more popular, since they have made their way into books and the big screen. There have been some famousCats as "Tao" from the original "Incredible Journey", and that the mischievous cat from "That Darn Cat."

Chocolate Point - The Chocolate Point Siamese Seal Point is different from that of the body is ivory, with no shades, and the points are a chocolate brown, warm in tone. The point of chocolate is a genetic variation of seal point. The similarities of the Point and Seal Point Chocolate can make it difficult to distinguish the two types of a beginner, asbetween a blue and a purple dot. A good breeder can determine the difference quite easily.

Interesting is that the chocolate in the early days of farming these types of cats occurred in litters of Seal Point and have been so bad, seals rejected. A group of fans who took the chocolate point Siamese, the challenge of developing standards for chocolate. They noted that items of milk chocolate has been the goal of breeding and, therefore, the race-specificarose.

Blue and purple - The body of a blue points should platinum gray with light blue on the belly and chest. The points should have a deep gray-blue. As already stated, all original Siamese had very dark brown (Seal) points. Occasionally Siamese were born with blue dots instead of closing points. The blue points were a genetic dilution of the seals.

The body of the elder should glacial white. The points should have a cold with graya reddish tone. The lilac is a genetic dilution of the chocolate.

The least common are blue or purple dots.
