OTHER COLOURPOINTS
In addition to the recognised breeds, the colourpoint pattern is recognised as a permissible
colour/pattern in many other breeds. In most cases the cat is simply described as a
"colourpoint 'breed-name' ". The colourpoint Japanese Bobtail has only recently found its
way into the West although it has existed for decades in Japan and a similar breed known as
the Mekong Bobtail (formerly the Thai Bobtail) is known in Russia. Mekong Bobtails also
occur naturally among feral cats in Malaysia and Thailand.
In others the prefix "Si" is used e.g. the Si-Rex is a colourpointed Rex and is further
identified as Cornish Si-Rex or Devon Si-Rex. It exists unofficially or experimentally in a
few breeds e.g. Si-Manx (Manxamese). In the American "Cats Magazine" of June 1965 there
was a photo of two Blue-Point rex-coated kittens born to a blue self (Cornish) Rex in August
1964
