How can I tell if my cat's features suggest she's a Siamese mix?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 10 months old | 7 lbs

My cat Violet has a kink in her tail and when she lies down and wraps it around her,she can wrap it in the opposite direction. Her head is small and she has prominant cheek bones as a feature. I was wondering, is it possible that she may have some Siamese in her please? Here's a photo of her facial features. I got her from a shelter. They didn't know much about her previous owner. She also runs and hides if a relative or friends voice is deep or high pitched when talking about something.

There may be some Siamese gens in Violet. Siamese cats have very typical voice, so if her voice sounds similar to Siamese cats (you can find Siamese cats miauing on google/youtube to compare) I would think she does have some gens from that breed.
