Siamese

The Siamese is distinguished by its brilliant blue eyes and its colored "points" (ears, face, tail and feet) which provide a striking contrast to its light-colored body. It is vocal, demanding, lively, and affectionate. The breed can be demanding and should not be left alone for long periods of time. Active feline companionship will help keep a lonely Siamese happy. Today's show Siamese display a very long, slender body type, and a long, wedge-shaped head with huge ears. Some breeders work with a more moderate, rounded type of Siamese, called either the Traditional or Applehead Siamese. Siamese were originally recognized in the seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac point colors. In some associations, additional colors and patterns are accepted as part of the Siamese breed, particularly outside the US and Canada, while other associations call these Colorpoint Shorthair. The Siamese is accepted by all major cat registries.
