The Siamese cat is one of the easiest types of cats to identify on visual encounter. They have distinct colouration and pointing that blends darker and lighter colours into a distinct coat. The lighter undercoat will often be cream or shades of white that incorporate beige or light brown. The darker areas of the Siamese will be around its ears, faces, tail and legs. This is known as pointing and completes the set that the Siamese is known for. The dark area around the face forms a mask like appearance. Interestingly, as kittens, the Siamese cat will not exhibit this type of colouration initially. They will be closer to a single shade of white with small amounts of pointing. As they age, these areas will begin to darken and form the typical pointing coat that is expected of this type of cat.
