Meaning Of ‘Points’ In Feline Terminology

By Laurie Buckley on June 17, 2007

A cat’s ‘Points’ are the ears, nose, feet, and tail. For example, in cats which have a pointed pattern coat, their basic coat color is confined to the points. The remainder of the cats body is usually a pale cream, fawn, or white. The white may have a bluish, creamy, or ivory tinge to it.

For show cats the colorpointing must match the basic body color. An example of this would be, a blue point must have a bluish-white body.
