Understanding Siamese Cats

Siamese cats are a popular breed known for their striking blue eyes, sleek coat, and distinct color points on their face, ears, feet, and tail. These color points are a result of a genetic mutation that affects the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of our skin, hair, and eyes.

Siamese cats are born pure white and gradually develop their color points as they age. The coloration of their coat is temperature-sensitive, meaning that it is influenced by their environment’s temperature. This is why their color points are darker and more prominent in colder areas of their body, such as their nose, ears, and tail.
