Early crosses with domestic shorthairs, refined by concentrating Siamese genes with red, produced the final Colorpoint Shorthairs. Like many CFA breeds, it is a man-made breed. In the 1940s and 50s, breeders risked deciding the beautiful Siamese should come in more than traditional seal and the most common blue point.
