*the siamese cat is 1 of the first distinctly recognized ‘breeds’ of ‘asian cat’*
.
Derived from the…
rtgs: wichianmat
(Thai: วิเชียรมาศ, [wí.tɕʰīan.mâːt] ( listen)) landrace,
one of several varieties of cat native to Thailand(formerly known as Siam),
the Siamese became one of the most popular breeds in Europe and North America in the 20th century.
The carefully refined modern Siamese is characterized by
blue almond-shaped eyes,
a triangular head shape,
large ears,
an elongated, slender, / muscular body,
and point colouration
.
(Aside from the colouration, it bears little resemblance to the original stock, and the more moderate, traditional or “old-style” Siamese, with a much rounder head and body, has been re-established by multiple registries as the Thai cat)
The International Cat Association (“where do i sign up?” 😉) describes the modern Siamese as social, intelligent, and playful into adulthood, often enjoying a game of fetch
Siamese tend to seek human interaction and also like companionship from other cats.
(the Siamese (sometimes in the traditional form) is among the foundation stock of several other breeds developed by crossbreeding with other cats;
some examples are
the Oriental Shorthair
and Colourpoint Shorthair,
(developed to expand the ‘range’ of ‘coat patterns’
the long-haired variant most often dubbed the Himalayan;
and hair-mutation breeds including
the Cornish Rex,
Sphynx,
and “peterbald”
“peterbald?!?”
“paterbald!”
(i repeat)
“peterbald”
(uncle fester)
(empty nester)
