My sealpoint has pedigree papers, and still has faint rings on his tail also, which I've been wondering about.

Types of Siamese Cats by: Lynn
You have two body types, traditional (Apple head) and Modern (Wedge head)
You have 4 basic colors for Siamese(this includes both wedge heads and apple heads)
they are: Seal, Chocolate, Blue, and Lilac
Then you have the Color point Short hairs which by some organizations are considered Siamese. Basically they are Siamese that are not the 4 basic colors.
You can have: red points, lynx points, tortie points, and a combination of these creating a bunch of types.
Here is my page on the Colorpoint Shorthairs.

rings on tail by: ptcruisergal
I have a 6 month old bluepoint Siamese cat I named Gia she all of a sudden got a ringed tail and i do believe she also has some very slight striped legs when i asked a very wise cat person about this they said oh its nothing she is just a bluepoint lynx Siamese I never heard of this she is also a traditional applehead Siamese.
I also heard of this breed call colorpoint cats I'm confused?
thanks

chocolate lynx point by: Anonymous
I agree with Caroline, it sounds like he has some lynx point genes or maybe he is a lynx point.
I bet he is beautiful.
You can send me pictures of him at:
lynn@we-are-siamese.com
I can post his pictures here for others to see.

Could he have lynx point genes? by: Caroline
Ringed tails on chocolate points aren't common and generally occur if there are some lynx (tabby) genes somewhere in the cat's background.
Does your chocolate point also have stripy legs? These would also indicate lynx point genes.
It is possible (unless you have a pedigree certificate for your cat) that some tabby has stolen into the mix, somewhere along the line ...
