Things That Make Lynx Point Siamese Cat So Popular - happywhisker

The American Cat Fanciers Association recognizes this cat as a Lynx ColorPoint Shorthair. Whereas an association called The Government Council of the Cat Fancy calls it the Tabby Point Siamese cat.

Other known names of this breed are Tabby Points or ColorPoint Shorthairs, and the name lynx became distinctive for cats that look like wild lynxes.

A lynx point Siamese cat looks pretty similar to a purebred Siamese cat. The first, most noticeable trait is that they share the same body shape.

They are slim but taller than ordinary cats, giving them a lean, athletic look. They are characterized by small paws and thin tails but they have muscular chests.

Just like the Siamese cat breed, this cat breed also has distinctive markings around the nose, ears, paws, and tail, in different colors.

A lynx point Siamese cat can be several different coat colors such as:

• seal lynx • blue lynx • cinnamon lynx • chocolate lynx

• apricot lynx • lilac lynx • red lynx • caramel lynx

The tortoiseshell pattern (tortie) is the rarest one, so don’t be surprised if you come across one that costs a fortune!

These cats are rather calm, friendly, very loyal, and love to spend time with their owners. Some traits of the traditional Siamese cat are still present but to a lesser degree.
