Did you know many popular cat breeds today, descend from the iconic Siamese? Check it out!

  • Balinese – Natural mutation of the Siamese cat; a longhaired Siamese. In the largest US registry, the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) is limited to the four traditional Siamese coat colors of seal point, blue point (a dilute of seal point), chocolate point, and lilac point (a dilute of the chocolate point). Other registries in the US and worldwide recognize a greater diversity of colors.

 

  • Birman – After almost all the individuals of the breed died out during the years of World War II, French breeders reconstructed the breed through interbreeding with various other breeds, including the Siamese. Modern Birman cats have inherited their pointed coat patterns from the Siamese.

 

  • Burmese – is a breed of domesticated cats descended from a specific cat, Wong Mau, who was found in Burma in 1930 by Joseph Cheesman Thompson. She was brought to San Francisco, where she was bred with Siamese.

 

  • Havana Brown – resulted from crossing a chocolate-point Siamese with a black cat.

 

  • Color point Shorthair – a Siamese-type cat registered in CFA with pointed coat colors aside from the traditional CFA Siamese coat colors; originally developed by crosses with other shorthair cats. Considered part of the Siamese breed in most cat associations but considered a separate breed in CFA and WCF. Variations can include lynx points and tortie points.

 

  • Himalayan – Longhaired breed originally derived from crosses of Persians to Siamese and pointed domestic longhair cats to introduce the point markings and the colors chocolate and lilac. After these initial crosses were used to introduce the colors, further breed development was performed by crossing these cats to the Persian breed. In Europe, they are referred to as color point Persians. In CFA, they are a color division of the Persian breed.

 

 

  • Neva Masquerade – derived in Russia by naturally or selectively crossing Siberian cats with Siamese cats or related color point cats. It bears the Siamese color point gene, but the original foundation stock is unclear.

 

  • Ocicat – a spotted cat originally produced by a cross between Siamese and Abyssinian.

 

  • Oriental Shorthair – a Siamese-style cat in non-pointed coat patterns and colors, including solid, tabby, silver/smoke, and tortoise-shell.

 

 

  • Ragdoll – selectively bred from "alley cats" foundation stock in the USA. It bears the Siamese color point mutation gene.

 

  • Savannah – The Savannah is a domestic hybrid cat breed. It is a hybrid between a serval and a domestic cat. (The first was bred with a Siamese)

 

  • Snowshoe – a cream and white breed with blue eyes and some points that were produced through the cross-breeding of the Siamese and bi-colored American Shorthair in the 1960s.

 

  • Thai Cat – also called the Wichian Mat or Old-Style Siamese, the original type of Siamese imported from Thailand in the 19th century and still bred in Thailand today; and throughout the first half of the 20th century, the only type of Siamese.

 

  • Tonkinese – originally a cross between a Siamese cat and a Burmese. Tonkinese × Tonkinese matings can produce kittens with a Burmese sepia pattern, a Siamese pointed pattern, or a Tonkinese mink pattern (which is something in between the first two, with less pattern contrast than the Siamese but greater than the Burmese); often with aqua eyes.

 

  • Toybob – cat breed of Russian origin. It bears the Siamese color point mutation gene.
