Notes

The ideal Seychellois is a svelte cat with long, tapering lines, very lithe but muscular. It is a blend between the pointed colours of the Siamese and Balinese, and the flashy bicolour patterns of the Orientals. Its reason for being is its distinctive pointed and white coat colour. Seychellois are a controversial variety within the family, and go by many names in many places. In North America, they are accepted as Orientals, while in Europe they are accepted as Siamese and Balinese. They were originally accepted to FIFe as the Seychellois, and so PKC retains this name and independent status rather than adding them to an existing breed. Like their parent breeds, they are true people cats, wanting to be as near to you as possible all the time—and of course, letting your hear their distinct voice!

Type & judging remarks
Like its sister breeds, the Seychellois is a long, tubular cat with a distinct wedge-shaped head and Roman profile. Subtle shading permissible but clear colour preferable.
