Colorpoint Shorthair Cat

Colorpoint shorthair cats are recognized by some registries as a separate breed and by others as a variety of Siamese. Colorpoint shorthairs include red-points, tortie point (tortoiseshell-points), and lynx-points (tabby-points). The red point has reddish gold points, mask, ears, paws, and tail, on a white coat. The tortie-point, always female, is cream colored, with brown and red points. The lynx point has silvery striped points on a pale cream coat.

The lynx point, or babby point, shorthaired cat is one of three varieties of colorpoints. The colorpoint cat was developed from the Siamese and the domestic cats.
