Showed up at my window one night. Let it back out and never saw it again.

Like previous posters have said, point coloring is not unique to Siamese. Here's our seal point boy on the day he was adopted almost eight years ago. He was a feral that my GF's parents were taking care of.

He used to bite ankles at night, and he was so small that he could get under the bedroom door of her crooked old apartment after we'd thrown him out!

Here he is today.

20+ pounds. Me and the GF have been living together for about seven years. At his impressive girth, he definitely cannot fit under the bedroom door of any apartment, no matter how old and crooked. He has, thankfully, stopped biting ankles at night. He also got quite a bit toastier over the years (as seal points do).

Wow he darkened right up. Almost didn't recognize him for a colorpoint.
