As Ahyeb said.  This pattern is popularly known as tuxedo.  A very grandiose cat, with this tuxedo open in the chest and all...    A true decoration to a good home!

Yes, he is a seal point and white.  Ie black point and white...  We cant know his parentage, save at least one of the parents  carried black and white - perhaps even a tuxedo as the cat above.    But for practical purposes you can call him for a siamese-mix, easiest way to get people to understand roughly his looks.

But she pretty much has no Siamese personality traits and completely behaves like a rag doll. I think she looks more like this guy than anything. You?

We cant know how long far is her siamese background.  May be many generations backwards, essentially just the 2x point genes wandering down - and meeting in her.

OR she got this gene via some recent  ragdoll Ancestor.   After all, such a parent as here on this pic, mated with a shorthaired point carrier, could easily give as result such a cat as yours.

Serve yourself if you so want!   :)

It might be interesting to research Ragdoll and Siamese breeders in your area, as your cat would be more likely to have one of these breeds in her heritage if there is a nearby breeder. A whole male can impregnate any unspayed female cat who crosses his way, so if a stud from a cattery escaped for just a little bit, even if it was several years ago, they would pass on those genes to the feral population. I do see the resemblance to a Ragdoll, as she doesn't have colorpointing on her legs.
