With their short, fine coat, Colorpoint Shorthairs are low-maintenance. Weekly brushing is usually more than enough. They are high-energy cats and need interactive play and companionship to stay mentally and physically satisfied.
History and Origin
The breed was developed in the United States during the 1940s–1950s by breeders aiming to expand the Siamese color palette. The result was a cat with Siamese-style elegance and personality but in colors like red, cream, and lynx points.
