The Siamese often have the characteristic point pattern, with a darker color on the ears, face, lower leg and paws, and tail. The seal point cat has black points in these areas. The blue point has blue points in these areas.

I originally chose this breed, because I knew of its popularity. I also liked the cat's appearance, with the blue eyes, point pattern, and physique. The siamese is within the top 3 to 5 most popular cat breeds in the US and is very intelligent, full of heart, domesticated, and hard working. My cats are wonderful pets. The lifespan of a cat is about twenty years or more.
