The Chocolate Point Siamese cat is a beautiful, sleek feline that has a cream-colored body with chocolate markings of varying degrees. They are a genetic variation of the Seal Point Siamese. The Siamese is affectionate and loves attention, so they will not usually be found hiding under a bed or snoozing in the corner all day.

Breed Overview

Height:

8 – 10 inches

Weight:

8 – 12 pounds

Lifespan:

15 – 20 years

Colors:

Cream with milk chocolate markings

Suitable for:

People looking for active cats, kids, multi-animal households

Temperament:

Fun-loving, independent, playful, cuddly

Their curious personality can get them into trouble sometimes, but their agreeable temperament makes them easy to manage overall. They get bored easily and need toys to interact with indoors or free time to spend outdoors where they can explore and hunt. The Chocolate Point Siamese enjoys talking, so owners should expect vocal interaction throughout the day.

These cats can get along with other animals and children, making them the perfect pets for families of all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes. If you are wondering whether the Chocolate Point Siamese is the right fit for your household, the following guide should help you decide.

Chocolate Point Siamese Cat Characteristics

Energy
+
A high-energy cat needs a lot of physical and mental stimulation to keep healthy and happy, while a low-energy cat needs minimal physical activity, but still needs mental stimulation. When choosing a cat, It’s important to ensure their energy levels match your lifestyle.
Trainability
+
Cats that are easy-to-train are more willing and skilled at quickly learning prompts and actions with minimal training. Harder-to-train cats are usually more stubborn or aloof and require a bit more patience and practice.
Health
+
Certain cat breeds are more prone to various genetic health problems, and some more than others. This doesn’t mean that every cat in those breeds will have these issues, but they do have an increased risk, so it’s important to understand and prepare for any additional needs they may require.
Lifespan
+
Due to their size or potential genetic health issues of a specific breed, some cats have shorter lifespans than others. Proper nutrition, exercise, mental stimulation, and hygiene also play an important role in your cat’s lifespan and quality of life.
Sociability
+
Some cat breeds are more social than others, both towards humans and other cats and animals. Cats that are more social have a tendency to rub up on strangers for scratches or jump on laps for cuddles, while cats that are less social shy away, hide, are more cautious, and even potentially aggressive. No matter the breed or gender, it’s important to socialize your cat and expose them to many different situations.

Chocolate Point Siamese Kittens

Chocolate Point Siamese kittens look like Seal Point kittens when they are born. It is not until they grow into their “teen” years that they start showing off their distinctive milk chocolate coloring. Here is what else you need to know before buying one of these kittens:

What’s the Price of a Chocolate Point Siamese?

Chocolate Point Siamese cats are rare and can be sold for as much as $2,500, depending on their lineage. If breeders have more kittens for sale than the market demands, they may reduce the cost by a few hundred dollars. But in general, you can expect to pay about $2,000 when adopting a Chocolate Point Siamese kitten.

Other costs should be considered when preparing to adopt one of these playful kittens. An initial trip to the vet, bedding, toys, and food are all essential items that must be purchased when you bring your new kitten home for the first time.

Temperament & Intelligence of the Chocolate Point Siamese Cat

This Siamese cat is extremely intelligent and curious. Chocolate Points interact with their surroundings throughout the day, especially when circumstances change. For instance, they can spend hours investigating the house after visitors leave, and they will happily play with any toys that are available if everyone else is too busy to give them attention.

Their intelligence makes them easy to train, so they can be taught not to talk so much (especially in the middle of the night) and learn cool tricks that are sure to impress humans of all ages. While awake, this Siamese breed will not sit still for long. They are not shy, so they do not typically run and hide when strangers come to visit their homes.

These cats are not afraid to tell their family what they need or want. They will let you know if they do not think their water is clean enough. If they are not getting enough attention, the entire household will hear about it. There is never a dull day at home when a Chocolate Point Siamese cat lives there!

Are These Cats Good for Families? 👪

The Chocolate Point Siamese cat is an excellent pet for families with or without kids. They have a playful disposition that tends to shine when they spend time with children of any age. If teasing is kept to a minimum, the Siamese is gentle and affectionate.

However, these hardy cats can handle a little roughhousing when the kids get boisterous. Siamese spend more time awake and active than many other breeds, and their human-centric reality will keep the family entertained all day.

Does This Breed Get Along with Other Pets? 🐶 😽 

Siamese cats get along well with other animals. They enjoy the company of other cats, no matter the breed. They can quickly learn to live with small pets like hamsters and ferrets as well. They will also make quick friends with dogs, even the larger breeds, if the ones they interact with are not aggressive.

Things to Know When Owning a Chocolate Point Siamese Cat

There is a lot to learn about this remarkable cat before deciding whether to adopt one of your own. Here are specifics about their diet, exercise, grooming, and possible health conditions.

Food & Diet Requirements 🐡

The Chocolate Point Siamese cat enjoys dry and wet commercial cat food. However, their food should be free of artificial ingredients and colors to ensure optimal nutrient intake. It should also include real meat as the first ingredient. It may or may not include fruits and veggies, but keep in mind that cats are obligate carnivores, so they should not eat a diet that’s high in carbohydrates.

Exercise 🐈

Due to their active nature, Chocolate Point Siamese cats need a great deal of daily exercise to stay satisfied. They do not need daily walks as dogs do, but they need daily access to interactive toys and play sessions with their human and animal household members. They should get at least an hour of active human interaction each day and have unlimited access to their toys.

Training 🧶

No training is required to enjoy the company of a Chocolate Point Siamese cat, but their intelligence makes it possible to train them in various ways. Siamese cats can learn to come when called, to fetch small items when asked, and even to sit and stay when commanded. They can also be trained to be quiet when necessary. Training takes patience and commitment, but it is certainly possible with regular practice.

Grooming ✂️

The Chocolate Point Siamese cat has a short coat, but they shed regularly. Therefore, they should be brushed weekly to keep shedding to a minimum. Their nails should be trimmed every couple of weeks so they don’t crack and break or become dangerous to others.

Their teeth should be brushed regularly, or they should be given dental treats once a week to keep tartar from building up. Also, a check-up should be scheduled at the veterinarian’s office once or twice a year to minimize the chance of health problems developing.

Health and Conditions 🏥

While the Chocolate Point Siamese cat is relatively healthy, there are a few health conditions that they are prone to. These conditions should be monitored throughout their lives, starting as early as kittenhood.

Minor Conditions
  • Asthma
  • Hip dysplasia
Serious Conditions
  • Progressive retinal atrophy
  • Systemic amyloidosis
  • Mediastinal lymphoma

Male vs Female

Prospective owners should be aware of a couple of differences between male and female Chocolate Point Siamese cats. First, males tend to mark their territory more often than females, especially if they have not been fixed.

Females are more likely to be vocal when bored, while males are more likely to start exploring and investigating. However, male and female Chocolate Point Siamese cats are lovable and playful and generally have similar temperaments.

1. They Have Nicknames

The Chocolate Point Siamese cat has many nicknames that owners and enthusiasts have given them. Choccie, Choccie Point, and Chocopoint are common ones.


2. They Can Get Confused With Seal Point Siamese Cats

The Chocolate Point gets confused with the Seal Point Siamese cat because they look so much alike as they grow through kittenhood. Those unfamiliar with the breed may confuse them for Seal Points as adults. However, Chocolate Point Siamese cats have pink noses and paw pads, while Seal Points do not. Also, Seal Points tend to have darker overall coats than Choccie Points.


3. They Love to Talk

Chocolate Point Siamese cats love talking to themselves or family members. They may see a wild animal outside and decide to start a conversation through the window.
