A recent American short-haired breed with white ‘snowshoe’ feet, created by crossing a Siamese with a bi-colored American Shorthair.
 The body of this cat is halfway between the long, lean and lanky Siamese and the short, stubby, stocky American Shorthair, presenting a well-balanced, elegant compromise, The key to its success, however, lies in the combination of the two contrasting color patterns – the pointed pattern of the Siamese and the white spotting of the American Shorthair. In a well-marked individual this shows itself as a typical Siamese coloring with dark extremeties, but with contrasting white patches on the face and feet. The ideal is for the white patches to lie symetrically on the otherwise dark points.
It is gentle, loving, affectionate, docile, inquisitive, adaptable, unflappable and happy-go-lucky.
