I love cats. I love them all, even the most “boring” cats you could imagine. There’s not a cat I wouldn’t take in if they needed me… But if I got to take my pick, I would definitely want a cat that was a little out of the ordinary.
For example, this Flame-Point Siamese cat with adorably curly ears. It’s not the fur on his ears that’s curly, it’s literally his ears, and I will never stop thinking about him:
Sylvester the Siamese is so amazing. The way his ears curl really shows off all of that fur in there! He got to play in the snow in this video, and unlike most cats, he seemed to really like it. His fiery face thought the snow was the perfect way to cool him down!
Sylvester is from Seattle, and he’s actually a rescue! That’s really special: a lot of people think you can’t find rare colors/designer cats in shelters, but that’s not the case. It’s just a combination of luck and knowing where to look! Luckily, he’s settling into his forever home.

Siamese Cats Are Silly
Siamese cats are some of my favorites because a lot of them look a little cross-eyed. It goes hand-in-hand with their colorpoint coat; the gene for the points often comes with a mutation that causes cross-eyedness. As for their personalities, they’re super outgoing and silly!
Sylvester is very handsome, but his brain is as smooth as marble. Luckily, that’s why his mama loves him so much!
Most Common Siamese Colors
Almost all Siamese cats have a colorpoint coat of some kind. In fact, in order for a Siamese cat to be considered purebred, they must have a colorpoint coat. Anything else, even though it might check all the other boxes, is not a true Siamese.

The most common colorpoints for Siamese are:
-
Lilac-point (beige-purple).
Flamepoint Siameses like Sylvester are very rare! It just goes to show that you should never count out the shelter when you’re searching for the cat of your dreams!
