Colorpoint Shorthairs are a type of domestic cat that costs nearly $1,000 for kittens from a reputable breeder. Though they are a crossbreed, they are considered their own separate breed. You can tell if you have a Colorpoint Shorthair if their coat is patterned in one of their wide range of sixteen-point colors.
Colorpoint Shorthair ©Magdalena Kowalik/Shutterstock.comThe Colorpoint was created by crossing an American Shorthair with a Siamese cat (it was the same mix that made the Oriental Shorthair, though with different goals). Colorpoints have more than one hundred vocal sounds, far more than other breeds, and they are highly intelligent and playful.
