Siamese Cats : The Sleek Pussy
Siam, the former name for Thailand is allegedly the origin of the
breed. It is said that at one time these cats were so highly valued
that only members of the Royal Family were allowed to keep them. It was
not until the twentieth century that Siamese cats became popular around
the world. Read other snippets below: The cats have a unique
appearance, sleek streamlined shape with striking facial features,
almond eyes and short silky coats make them fascinating to look at and
they have been the subject of many a sculpture. Here are various
varieties with seal points being one of the best known, having dark
brown extremities and a pale fawn body. Chocolate, lilac and blue
points are other fascinating varieties with different colour
permutations. Due to different breeding organisations there are
different standards and requirements and this has caused some
disagreements between these various organisations, leading to names
such as ‘Traditional Siamese’, ‘Classic Siamese’ and ‘Appleheads’. If
you are thinking of getting a Siamese then I advise you to do some
research! Siamese cats are among the most affectionate of cats and
enjoy being with people. They bond with their owners and are happy in
the confines of their owners’ home. The cats are extremely vocal and
intelligent as well as being playful and active. Remember if you are
considering owning a Siamese to keep those breakables out of their way!
