This specific feline variety exhibits a colorpoint pattern where the coolest areas of the body, such as the face, ears, paws, and tail, display a diluted blue-gray hue. The term “bicolor” indicates that these cats possess areas of pure white, typically seen on the face, chest, and legs, creating a distinctive masked appearance with inverted ‘V’ shape on the face. This color variation is a recognized and admired trait within the breed standards.
The appeal of this particular type lies in its striking visual presentation combined with the breed’s renowned gentle and docile temperament. Historically, the breed has been favored as a companion animal, known for its tendency to relax and go limp when held, contributing to its unique name. The aesthetic qualities of the coat, coupled with their affectionate nature, contribute to their desirability as pets.
