Colorpoint Cats
The color-point cat is often confused with the Siamese, because the "points" are the same as those on a Siamese and come in all the same colors. However the colorpoint h as some colors that are not seen in Siamese cats, such as tabby-point and red-point.
The colorpoint cats head is shaped more like the head of the common domestic cat, and the legs and tail are not as long. Like the Siamese, the colorpoint is extremely intelligent and talkative, though its voice is not quite as strident.

Then, one day when I was alone in the house, I was combing my hair in the bathroom and suddenly realized the toilet was in use. I whirled, to see out colorpoint was squatting neatly on the toilet seat. Sir John had been using the toilet! Our daughter, having been punished several times for not flushing, had taken on the duty of flushing for our dolorpoint Sir John.
