General
The Colourpoint
Shorthair is a medium sized, svelte, refined cat with long tapering lines,
very lithe but muscular. Males may be proportionately larger.
The ideal is a cat with type identical to the Siamese, but with its own distinct and
unique colors. While the color differences set it apart as a unique breed, the
purpose of the hybridation was to establish cats identical in type to the
Siamese but separate colors. The Colorpoint shorthair standard reflect this
objective and preserve it’s unique colors.
Head
- Long, tapering wedge. Medium size in good proportion to body. The
total wedge starts at the nose and flares out in straight lines to the
tips of the ears forming a triangle, with no break at the whiskers. No
less than the width of an eye between the eyes. When the whiskers are
smoothed back, the underlying bone structure is apparent. Allowance must
be made for jowls in the stud cat.
Skull
- Flat. In profile, a long straight line is seen from the top of the
head to the tip of the nose. No bulge over the eyes. No dip in nose.
Ears
- Strikingly large, pointed, wide at base, continuing the lines of the wedge.
Eyes
- Vivid blue in color, no other shades or colors allowed. Almond shaped.
Medium size. Neither protruding nor recessed. Slanted towards the nose
in harmony with lines of wedge and ears. Uncrossed.
Nose
- Long and straight. A continuation of the forehead with no break.
Muzzle
Chin and jaw
- Medium size. Tip of chin lines up with tip of nose in the same
vertical plane. Neither receding nor excessively massive.
Body
- Medium size. Graceful, long, and svelte. A distinctive combination of
fine bones and firm muscles. Shoulders and hips continue same sleek
lines of tubular body. Hips never wider than shoulders. Abdomen tight.
Neck
Legs
- Long and slim. Hind legs higher than front. In good proportion to
body.
Paws
- Dainty, small, and oval. Toes : five in front and four behind.
Tail
- Long, thin, tapering to a fine point.
Coat
- Short, fine textured, glossy. Lying close to body.
Condition
- Excellent physical condition. Eyes clear. Muscular, strong and lithe.
Neither flabby nor boney. Not fat.
Color
- Body : subtle shading is permiisible, but clear color is preferable.
Allowance should be made for darker color in older cats as Siamese
generally darken with age, but there must be definite contrast between
body color and points.
- Points : mask, ears, legs, feet, tail dense and clearly defined. All
of the same shade. Mask covers entire face including whisker pads and is
connected to ears by tracings. Mask should not extend over top of head.
No ticking or white hairs in points.
Penalize
- Pigmentation of nose leather and/or paw pads which is not consistent with the cat’s particular color description.
- Palpable and/or visible protrusion of the cartilage at the end of the sternum.
Disqualify
- Any evidence of illness or poor health.
- Weak hind legs.
- Mouth breathing due to nasal obstruction or poor occlusion.
- Emaciation.
- Visible kink in tail.
- Eyes other than blue.
- White toes and/or feet.
- Incorrect number of toes.
- Malocclusion resulting in either undershot or overshot chin.
