Physical Description of Himalayan
The most distinctive physical traits of the Himalayan are their long, soft fur and wonderfully colored blue eyes.
Most Himalayans have the solid body of a Persian and the coloring of a Siamese. Their bodies are light-colored with darker markings (points) on the ears, tail, feet, legs, and face, and most have incandescent blue eyes. Like Persians and Siamese, however, Himalayans are grouped into categories according to the colors of their points, and there are many different accepted colors and varieties. Some of these categories are listed below:
Seal Point: This Himalayan’s fur is a pale shade cream color that fades into a lighter color on the chest and abdomen. The points are known as “seal brown” and their eyes are intensely blue adding to the distinction of this most sought after colorpoint.
Blue Point: This Himalayan has a bluish-white body that is a beautiful compliment to their blue points. They will have slate gray nose leather and paw pads.
Flame Point: The fur of this Himalayan is a creamy-white color that contrasts beautifully with their red points. Their vivid blue eyes against the light cream and bright red make quite a statement.
Chocolate Point: This Himalayan has chocolate-brown points and an ivory colored body. Their eyes are blue creating a beautiful contrast against their chocolate mask.
Lilac Point: This Himalayan's lilac-shaded fur is an intriguing shade of lilac with pink highlights. Their eyes are sky blue adding a gentle compliment to their soft coat coloring.
Lynx Point Pattern: Also with very blue eyes, this Himalayan has an “M” pattern on its mask and horizontal stripes that run across the cheeks. Striped legs and a striped tail, along with a white body (with a touch of color) and darker point color markings, complete an eye-catching picture. Lynx Point markings can be found in all color categories.
In addition to these coloration variations, Himalayans can also be found in a Tortie Point, Blue-Cream Point, and a Lilac-Cream Point.
