Let’s start from basic,
Height:- The height of this cat varies from 12” to 15”. They have small to medium sizes only.
Weight:- The weight of a female cat is between 6 to 10 pounds while the male cat is about 9 to 14 pounds.
Life Expectancy:- This meow can live up to 8 to 12 years.

Coat Color:- They are famous for their coat colors. They have many variations in them like chocolate, blue, red, lilac, seal, cream, fawn, and cinnamon.
Coat Pattern:- The only coat pattern they have is point pattern.
The tendency of coat shedding is low, and hence the need for grooming is also low. This cute little feline has an elongated, tubular and muscular body with the triangular head. Plus its almond-shaped eyes and large ears add an attitude to its look. This breed has a long neck and slender tail.
The mystery behind the pointed pattern of this cat breed is a mutation in tyrosinase, an enzyme that is involved in melanin production. This enzyme is heat-sensitive and doesn’t work properly in normal body temperatures. But it reacts in the cooler temperatures (less than 33 degrees Celcius), and hence this feline has the reaction on it near the nose as it gets cool with the passage of air through sinuses.
