  • Les mariages entre les 4 variétés sont autorisés mais ....
  • Certaines combinaisons de couleurs génétiquement possibles dans le cadre des catégories, divisions et couleurs autorisées ne sont pas reconnues.
    • Ainsi, sauf erreur dans la lecture des standards ou modification de dernière minute :
      • Le cinnamon et le fawn sont autorisés chez l'Oriental et le Mandarin mais non reconnus chez le Siamois et le Balinais.
      • L'argenté (smoke et silver tabby) est autorisé chez l'Oriental et le Mandarin mais non reconnu chez le Siamois et le Balinais.
      • Le bicolore vient d'être autorisé chez l'Oriental mais non reconnu chez le Siamois et le Balinais.
      • Le blanc aux yeux vairons ne serait pas reconnu.
    • Or, si l'apparition de certaines couleurs peut être évitée (gènes dominants), d'autres risquent d'apparaître (gènes récessifs) ou sont inévitables et incontrôlables (yeux vaironss lorsque les yeux verts sont autorisés).
  • Pour être classés parmi les Siamois et Balinais, les blancs doivent avoir les yeux bleus, les blancs aux yeux verts sont classés avec les Orientaux et Mandarins.
  • Le shaded, le caramel et l'abricot ne sont pas reconnus.
