From lands far, far away comes the beautiful and admired Siamese cat. To be exact, this crystal-eyed domestic cat hails from the ancient kingdom of Siam , which is now Thailand. In its origins it was very loved by the Thai royal family , not in vain were they the only people authorized to have this kitten as a pet. The Siamese cat was considered pure and sacred (it was believed that the animal received the spirit of certain people when they died) and the specimens walked freely through the palace rooms.
Returning to more earthly areas, within the Siamese cat there are two varieties: the traditional or Thai and the modern . The former has rounded features and is smaller than the modern one, with a slimmer body and a sharp face. As soon as you observe members of each of the categories, you will distinguish them perfectly.
The Siamese cat is quite active, he likes to play and if he gets bored he can do some mischief at home. He is also affectionate and sociable, a good companion for young and old who will get depressed if you don’t pay him the attention he demands. By the way, it is a great meow that emits different types of sounds.
As a curious characteristic, we tell you that the areas of its body that are dark (ears, face, legs and tail) have a lower temperature than the light ones. This condition is due to a thermal gene that causes pigments to fixate in the coldest areas of your anatomy. When it is born, the Siamese cat is totally white since it has been warmly housed inside the mother’s body.
Another anecdotal fact about this pussycat is that in its beginnings it used to be strabismus , a situation that today can be repeated but to a lesser extent due to selective crosses.
This domestic feline reaches sexual maturity early, has a great sexual activity and can have very large litters. Their zeal is very intense and is characterized by loud meows and markings. As always, we recommend sterilizing your pet to avoid unwanted offspring and the consequent risk of abandonment.
