The Cyprus cat is a medium to large breed. Its coat may be shorthaired or semi-longhaired of any color, except for colorpoint or mink, and should not have any white spots if it is a solid color. The coat should be soft and wooly, longer with an undercoat in winter, and may have a top coat on the back. The back legs of the Cyprus cat are slightly longer than the front legs. They have a medium-long, 'well-plumed' tail, and a long-triangular head with straight cheeks. Their ears are medium-large, forming an open V shape, rather than pointing straight upward. Their eyes are olive-shaped and can be of any uniform color.
