Wayne, to answer the second question you brought up, all Siamese are "color points" but not all color points are "Siamese". Siamese is a breed, color point is a coat pattern. Other color points are ragdolls, showshoes, birmans and himilayans, to name a few off the top of my head. But the points can show up in any mixed breed and can even be patterned - I had a little tortie point whose dark areas were tortoiseshell. Even her light areas had faint spots of a lighter shade. Some color points have tabby points. All color points also have the blue eyes and retinas that reflect red (instead of green) in car headlights.
