Cat Breeds - Siamese
Published in Cats & Dogs News
The distinctive Siamese have existed for centuries in Thailand (formerly Siam) and is said to be descended from their sacred temple cats. They were originally, like their descendants today, medium-sized, long-bodied, muscular, graceful cats with moderately wedge-shaped heads and largish ears.
Siamese are affectionate and intelligent, as renowned for their social nature as for their in persistence demanding attention with their loud, low-pitched voice which many compare to a babie's cries. Since the Siamese coat is ineffective for camouflage they've developed a unique social orientation related to their lessened ability to live independently of humans. They're less active at night than most cats, as their blue eyes lack the structure which amplifies dim light. And like other blue-eyed white cats, they may also have reduced hearing ability.
