GENERAL The ideal Siamese is a svelte, dainty cat with long, tapering lines, very lithe but muscular.

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 eyes. No dip in nose.

NOSE Long and straight. A continuation of the forehead with no break.

MUZZLE Fine, wedge-shaped.

CHIN AND JAW Medium size. Tip of chin lines up with tip of nose in the same vertical plane. Neither receding nor excessively massive.

EARS Strikingly large, pointed, wide at base, continuing the lines of the wedge.

EYES Almond shaped. Medium size. Neither protruding nor recessed. Slanted towards the nose in harmony with lines of wedge and ears. Placed well within the frontal plane of face. Never at side of head. Uncrossed.

BODY Medium size. Dainty, long, and svelte. A distinctive combination of fine bones and firm muscles. Shoulders and hips continue same sleek lines of body. Hips never wider than shoulders. No flaring of lower ribs. Abdomen tight.

NECK Long and slender.

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. No fat.

PENALIZE Lack of pigment in nose leather in part or in total.

WITHHOLD WINNERS Any evidence of illness or poor health. Weak hind legs. Mouth breathing due to nasal obstruction or poor occlusion. Emaciation. Visible kink. Eyes other than blue. White toes and/or feet. Incorrect number of toes.

COLOR

Body: Even, with subtle shading when allowed. Allowance should be made for darker color in older cats as Siamese generally darken with age, but there must be definite contract 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.
