The Chocolate point in particular was so affectionate that he would sense if I had a bad day or was sad, and he would immediately slink over and sit right beside me. One of the best friends I've had, and it really hurt me when he passed on.

One thing with Siamese & Orientals though: because they are so social, you cannot get just one if you're out a lot -- they tend to get lonely from lack of companionship. Their intelligence level is also quite high.
Yep, all the bolded points match the blue point friend I had.
