What Is The Lynx Point's Personality Like? The tail has rings of colour that run all the way up, and the legs also have well defined striping. They also have a clearly defined M shaped marking on the forehead. They have stripes that are well defined around their nose, cheeks, and eyes, and their whisker pads are spotted. These cats have pale bodies, but their points have bold tabby markings, which are in one of the Siamese point colours.
It is the distinctive markings of the Lynx Point that gives it its name, and these cats look like a cross between a tabby cat and a lynx in terms of markings, but have the structural similarities and physique of a Siamese, making them very distinctive and quite striking in terms of appearance.

You can see this well on the very handsome boy below, whose name is Tristan and is, according to his owner Kate, rather camera shy! So how do you identify them?
