The CFA classify the flame point Siamese cat as a Colorpoint Shorthair and refer to them as Red Points but do not acknowledge them as a Siamese. Other cat registries do acknowledge them as Siamese but instead of flame they refer to them as red. The flame point, while not exactly rare, is not seen as often as a blue point.
A Flame Point Siamese is the term applied by nonbreeders to a cat that has Siamese ancestry but sports "points" or colors on ears, paws and tail of an orange/apricot color. In America these cats are referred to not as Siamese, but as Red "Oriental Short haired color points". In Britain and other parts of the world, the term "color point" is used to refer to Himalayan and Persians with orange points! In the US and elsewhere, TICA recognizes red- and cream-points as Siamese, while CFA classifies them as Oriental Shorthairs. TICA does not use the term "flame point" for anything.
A fire tip and flame point are both patterns found in certain cat breeds, particularly in Siamese and Balinese cats. They both refer to a cat with darker fur on their ears, face, paws, and tail. Your recently adopted cat may have been described as having a fire tip or flame point coloring.
How much a Flame Point Siamese cat is worth depends on various things including if it is pet quality or show quality. When purchasing a cat, you can expect to pay anywhere from about $100 and up depending on where you purchase the cat. Most cat owners cannot put a price on the value of their pets and to them, they are priceless.
yes they are very rare but they are not the rarest
If you are talking about a flame point Siamese cat, I can tell you. They have orange ears and nose, and orange striped tails, and are all white besides that. They occasionally ( mine does, I have one) can have orange tails. Let me tell you the story of my kitten Siamese. We had two normal parents and this kitten got bigger and one day my grandpa found a picture of him online! A Flame Point Siamese KITTEN! We have no idea how he came to be one, his parents weren't Siamese, surely!
The main difference between a Chocolate Point Siamese and a Seal Point Siamese cat is the color of their fur. Chocolate Point Siamese have a lighter, milk-chocolate colored fur with darker brown points on their ears, face, paws, and tail. Seal Point Siamese, on the other hand, have a darker, seal-brown colored fur with dark brown points. Additionally, Chocolate Point Siamese tend to have a slightly more rounded face compared to the more angular face of Seal Point Siamese.
The cat is named Tao. He is a clever seal-point Siamese cat.
The main differences between a chocolate and seal point Siamese cat are their coat colors. A chocolate point Siamese has a lighter brown coat with darker brown points on their ears, face, paws, and tail. A seal point Siamese has a darker brown coat with even darker brown points. Additionally, chocolate point Siamese cats tend to have lighter blue eyes compared to the darker blue eyes of seal point Siamese cats.
Siamese is a cat breed
The upper limit for Siamese is about 17 to 20 years, although some rare individuals may live longer.
Some interesting qualities of the Himalayan cat are its long fur and 'flat' or pushed-in face. The breed also comes in many points- certain colors. The points are chocolate point, flame point, tortie-cream point, lilac point, blue point, seal point, and much more. It was first 'produced' in the 1950s, when crossing a Siamese cat with a Persian cat.
Sassy. And that is not a Siamese cat it is a Himalayan cat.
