The Siamese coat has been called "chiffon velvet" and it's an apt description. The 

 crossed eyes of the cat on the right are characteristic of the breed, but selective 

 breeding is eliminating the trait today. The eyes should be clear blue and almond in 



shape.

 but of the same tone as the coat. There must be no fawn in the
