Cats
Sia-Manx was exhibited at their
show during 1952, some months
before the cat at the San Diego show,
and resembled a Siamese Seal Point
with definitely high hind quarters and complete absence of tail. He was described as a very
charming person by Miss P. Ashby-Spilhaus, the Registrar of the South African Cat Union.
The colourpoint trait can be introduced into any breed by crossing it with an existing
colourpoint breed, although the first generation kittens will not show the trait. The gene for
colourpoint has also entered the gene pool of free-breeding cats and there are many pretty
"look-alikes" to be found in shelters and humane societies. Although not registrable as
Siamese, Himalayan etc, they are still good pets and can be shown in household pet classes
