✏️ Write a Review

The Colorpoint Shorthair is a Siamese relative with colourpoint patterns in non-traditional colours including red, cream, tortoiseshell, and tabby points. Like their Siamese cousins, Colorpoints are vocal, opinionated, and intensely social cats who demand to be involved in their owners' lives. They are intelligent and affectionate but not suited to quiet households where they might not receive the interaction they need.

Pros

  • Highly affectionate and bonded to their person
  • Intelligent and interactive
  • Striking colourpoint appearance in unusual colours
  • Energetic and playful

Cons

  • Very vocal, can be demanding
  • Needs significant human interaction
  • Not suited to households where they will be alone frequently
  • Can be prone to anxiety

Intelligent and trainable

My Colorpoint has learned to come when called, sit on command, and retrieve small toys. He is sharper than any cat I have previously owned and engages with training games readily. He has learned that certain sounds predict food, play, or attention with impressive speed. His intelligence makes him an…

Too vocal for my apartment

My Colorpoint is wonderful in many ways but the vocality has been a genuine challenge in my city apartment. She announces everything, every hunger, every preference, every arrival and departure. My neighbours have mentioned the volume twice. We are working on it but the Siamese vocal inheritance is …

Bonded to me completely

My Colorpoint Shorthair has chosen me as her person and the bond is extraordinary. She sleeps against me, follows me everywhere, greets me loudly when I return, and protests clearly when I leave. She is not anxious, just deeply attached. She gives me more active love than most dogs I have known. She…
