What exactly is a Flame Point Siamese cat? Well, that can be a bit complicated to answer since all parts of the world seem to classify this type of cat differently.
In most parts of the world this cat is actually known as the "Red Point Siamese", such as in the UK and Australia. But in the US, the Cat Fanciers' Association doesn't even recognize them as a Siamese breed. Instead they're known as "Colorpoint Shorthairs".
The name Flame Point was given to these cats by non-breeders, because of their red, flame-like points. The "flame" term is thought to have come from Persian and Himalayan breeds, because it is commonly used to describe them.
