The ears should be large and pricked, low-set, wide spaced. The tail should be long, slender and tapering to a whip like end. The tail should always be in proportion to the cat. The coat should be short, sleek and fine textured, with the fur lying close to the body. The colored points should only be seen on the mask area of the face, ears, legs and tail.
Siamese living in warmer climates tend to have lighter coats.
