Siamese cats are my favourite breed, popular for their independent and mischievous nature. They are the most playful and teachable cats but there are some facts you may not know about these Thai cats listed below:
1. When first shown in England in 1871, Siamese cats were described as “an unnatural nightmare of a cat” because of their coloring.
2.Siamese cats can be trained to fetch, retrieve, walk on a harness, and do some tricks.
3. Their Thai name means “moon diamond”. How cute!
4.A Siamese cat’s eyes are blue because the gene that is responsible for the coat pattern restricts the amount of pigment in the eyes.
5. Siamese cats are born white, with their markings and patterns developing around 4 weeks of age.
6. Different Siamese cats have different body tops. The traditional Siamese cat has a smaller body with a triangular face.
7.Siamese cats have one of the longest life expectancies of domestic cats, around 20 years of age.
8.Siamese cats usually have dark brown markings, but can also have lighter marks in grey, lilac, and frosty white.
9. Siamese cats are known for their vocal abilities, making a variety of noises to communicate their desires.
10. Siamese cats tend to get extremely attached to their human counterparts.
