Short-haired cats with heavy-colored hearts
Short-haired cats with heavy-colored hearts are bred from Siamese cats , limited to points (face, legs, ears, tail and pubic area) in red or cream. Early hybridization with domestic shorthairs and extraction by combining Siamese genes and red genes produced the final color shorthairs called Colorpoint.
The dark-colored short-haired cat, like many types of CFA, is a locally created species. In the 1940s and 1950s, some breeders exaggeratedly determined that the beautiful Siamese was better to look at than just the traditional tight-knit type and the rarest blue point type. A close-fitting conjoined body gave birth to a red tabby cat, and the American shorthair cat breed was born! In 1964, the CFA Advanced Breed Championship title was awarded to the red and cream heavy-colored shorthair cat, and in 1969 to the heavy-colored shorthair cat with lynx points and tortoiseshell points. The heavy-colored short-haired variety currently includes 16 colors, conjoined ones with the same body and head shape.
In the 1980s, it was a mixture of British shorthair cats (definitely introduced) and Siamese cats. If the Siamese cat pattern is inherited from a British shorthair cat, the resulting cat will be calmer compared to the real Siamese cat. The shape of this cat is still improving, but people are already breeding cats with good complexion and good qualities.
