Looks like your new friend is a full fledged Lynx point Siamese alright!!!! Even down to the crossed eyes!!!
And what a gorgeous one at that!!!!
If it will help purr-suede Dear Ole Dad, Siamese are more like a dog in their behavior than that of a cat. You know how a dog will follow ya around, so will a meezer.
Sending good thoughts that you get to keep the meezer!!!
