A Flame Point Siamese goes by many names. Some call it Red Point Siamese, Fire Tip Siamese, or Red Lynx Point.
A Flame Point Siamese cat results from breeding a Siamese and an American Tabby Shorthair cat.
If you manage to adopt one, there are a few things to know. Let’s look at the intriguing characteristics and behaviors of these rare felines.
Siamese cats are a domestic breed that originated in Thailand. Their name comes from the country which, up until 1939, was officially named Siam.
With rarity comes prosperity (to breeders) because this breed is quite expensive. You can expect to pay anything from $400 to $2000.
The average lifespan of the Flame Point Siamese is about the same at 15 years. However, they can live for a few years longer than that with proper care.
While a Flame Point Siamese is a mixed breed, some of the most common health issues in the breed are hereditary from its Siamese parent.
There is something else quite remarkable about their coats. The red splashes of color can sometimes change in vibrancy.
