World Cat Federations's Standard

Body: Medium sized and muscular body, but still slender and elegant; neither cobby nor elongated. Legs medium in length, rounded paws. Tail of medium length and slightly tapering to a pointed tip.

Head: Moderate wedge shape with gently rounded contours. Slightly curved profile, with the dip at eye level. Strong chin and lower jaw, rounded muzzle.

Ears: Medium in size, broad at the base with slightly rounded tips and set wide apart.

Eyes: Large and slightly slanted; the upper lid almond shaped, the lower lid slightly rounded; eye colour vivid blue.

Coat: Short and glossy, close-lying; silky texture, no undercoat.

Colour Varieties: The Thai is a colourpointed cat, any point (colour only on the head, the ears, the legs and the tail) colour without white is accepted.

Faults: The goal of the Thai breeding is the traditional type of the Siamese. Any changes of type that might imply a hybridization by extraneous breeds (e.g. woolly coat, pronounced cheeks, definite stop, round eyes) are undesirable and to be considered as a severe fault.
