Red Point Siamese Cat

The Red Point Siamese Cat Variation

The red point Siamese cat is pretty much the same cat as other more traditional Siamese cats but instead of the dark chocolate or black points, they have red or orangey points. These non-traditional point patterns are only variations in color and do not affect the temperament or health of the red point Siamese cat.



Siamese Cat Appearance In Ancient Illustrations

In the late 1700’s, in Russia, engravings of a cat that looked very similar to the Siamese cat were found. Illustrations of the Siamese cats among others were also present in an ancient text called the Cat-Book Poems. These are the earliest recorded Siamese cat history writings in the world.

Background Of The Red Point Siamese Cat

In the year 1948 Dr. Nora Archer acquired a male red point Siamese cat which was a product of crossbreeding a seal point male and a domestic cat which was half Siamese. The first male red point Siamese cat was then bred with a seal point female, which resulted in a litter of a tortoiseshell female who then produced the first ever-female red point Siamese cat.

Siamese Cat Behavior

When it comes to Siamese cat behavior, one of the first and most important things to know is that Siamese cats tend to be very jealous and often so much to the point that they will throw tantrums or fits of bad behavior whenever they feel this jealousy.

Don’t Mess With Tradition!

The Siamese cat breed is perhaps the oldest of all breeds.  It has continued to awe and amaze those who encounter it, both with its beauty and its intelligence.  Despite the differences within the breed, it is important to appreciate and recognize the traditional beauty that has defined this breed for hundreds of years.
