Good Things To Know About Siamese Cats

Siamese cats are the favorite pets for people whishing to get a companion they can show off with. This breed originates in Siam, which is Thailand today. They were the pets of the royal family and were brought from Great Britain to the United States in the late 19th century. The Siamese cats have a very elegant appearance. They have light colored bodies with darker areas on their legs, tail and face. There are many colors the Siamese cats can have. But the dark spots on the tips of Siamese cats, which are called “points”, are darker than the color of their body. Siamese cats always have blue eyes. The interesting thing about kittens in this breed is that they are completely white when they are born. They get the Siamese cats’ specific body color only after a week or even two into life. As a Siamese cat ages, the points become less pronounced as the body darkens a bit in color. The hair of the Siamese cats can be either short or long and their bodies are very muscular. Their legs and tails match the long, slender body to make for a very sleek look for this breed of cats. Siamese cats have very triangular faces, so their ears look larger than those of other cats. These cats are very intelligent, so that they can even learn to walk on a leash or play fetching games. They have the most lovable intent to please their owners, to such a point that they are much like dogs than like cats in what their personality is concerned. Siamese cats bond very strongly to their people and do not do well when left alone for a long time. The health problems are mostly due to some genetic flaws, that some Siamese cats inherit. Strabismus can make the cat cross-eyed, but there are no other problems associated with it. Other cats might have a bent tailbone, which causes them a permanent kink in the tail. Another thing about their health is the fact that Siamese cats often get hereditary heart disease that weakens the valves of their hearts, but this is not an issue until later in life. Some Siamese cats will attach themselves very strongly to one person and not think much of everyone else around. This is the reason why Siamese cats do not like to have other cats surrounding them in their home. They are very territorial and possessive towards their owner!
