Siamese Cats

Siamese Cats (also called pointed cats) are one of my favorite breeds! They have such pretty coats and I know it sounds strange, but they look the most cat-like of the cat breeds. Their features are what I affiliate with a cat when I picture one. They originated from China and Thailand and are one of the earliest known Asian cat breeds. They like to play fetch which just sounds extremely cute to me. The long-haired variant of this breed is the Balinese cat. Siamese cats a very skinny and muscular with wedge or apple-shaped heads. They are known for their fur pattern and blue eyes. Their fur has darker tones on the ears, tip of the tail, paws, and face. They have almond-shaped eyes. The earliest documentation of Siamese cats goes back to the 14th to 18th century! Early in breeding, Siamese cats had a kink in their tails that has since been eradicated in domestic cats. Some of the Siamese cats that are feral still have this tail kink. Some also used to have crossed eyes. The types of points on a Siamese cat include seal point, lilac point, and chocolate point. Seal point is the lightest and chocolate is the darkest.
