Instructions
Look at the cat's shape for the typical siamese cat features. This cat's face is noticeably more chiseled and pointed than other domestic cat breeds. Look for large ears with pointed tops. Check that the cat has a short coat to ensure that it is a true Siamese.
Pay attention to the coloration of the cat's body. If it is a lynx-point Siamese it must have a pale-colored body, with areas covered in darker-colored stripes restricted to its face, tail, legs and feet.
Examine the cat's facial markings. It should have noticeable stripes across its cheeks and around its eyes. The eyes themselves must be blue. On its forehead its stripes should form an "M" shape. The cat's ears must have an outline of the same color as the facial stripes.
