The Siamese Cat
The beautiful Siamese cat is one of the earliest known and recognised breeds of cat believed to originate in Siam (now Thailand). It is now one of the most popular breeds of cat and makes a wonderful pet.
Their nature is friendly, extrovert and highly intelligent. They love human company and should never be left alone for a long time. Like a dog, if you cannot be at home for half the day do not have a Siamese cat unless you buy two. This is ideal because they enjoy the company of other cats as well as human company.
They are very vocal and will communicate with you very effectively with different mews for different things! They love to play with toys and will often fetch' like a dog. One Siamese I owned always carried round a toy spider made of pipe cleaners. She would put it on my lap or on the floor and stare pointedly from the spider to my face while uttering little sounds. Another would only play with fur mice and loved to fetch those. One beautiful Seal Point Siamese loves powder puffs and carries them around and loves to have them thrown for her. Siamese cats have the most wonderful personalities and are loving to caring owners, if one can ever be said to own a cat. They very often tend to bond with one person and, while they will be friendly to others, are devoted to this individual. One of my Siamese follows me everywhere. If I sit down for a moment she is on my lap purring frantically and if I do not stroke her enough she reaches up a paw to pat my face.
The original conformation of the Siamese was medium sized and long bodied with a moderate wedge and pointed ears. In recent years a more extreme type of Siamese has been bred and these are now more popular than the old style cat which thankfully does continue to be bred. These have long slender bodies and extreme wedge shaped heads with large ears. The result is a quite stunning look. All Siamese cats have blue eyes and their coats come in many colours. The original colour was the seal point and this is still one of the most popular colours. There is chocolate point, blue point, lilac point, red point and all these colours also come in tabby point where the extremities are striped in the colour and tortie point where the patches of colour are mingled with the cream coat on the extremities of the cat.
All Siamese Kittens are born white or cream depending on the colour they will be when adult and the colour points develop on the face, tail and legs as the kitten matures. Blue and lilac points tend to have whitish fur while the chocolate and seals have cream fur.
I have owned, bred and shown both dogs: Irish Setters, Miniature Wire Haired Dachshunds, Irish Wolfhounds, and cats: Siamese and Burmese. I have a keen interest in the welfare of all animals.
