Siamese: amazing eyes!

The first cat with Siamese markings appeared on an engraving discovered by a Mr. Pallas on his journey into Russia in 1794. There is no record of Siamese cats as a breed until the 1800s. In 1884 the departing British Consul-General Gould was given a Siamese cat by the Siamese king as a gift. It was a great honor since the cat came from the royal family. The progeny of this cat given to Consul-General Gould was exhibited by his sister, Mrs. Lilian (Gould) at the Crystal Palace Show in October 1885. These cats were so extraordinary that they captured immediate attention. The first Siamese cat club was founded in England in 1902.

Siamese cats arrived to the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. The Siamese Cat Society of America was founded in April 1909. Its popularity reached a peak in the 50's and 60's when Siamese cats appeared in movies such as "That Darn Cat", "The Incredible Journey", & Disney's classic "Lady and the Tramp".

The Siamese is an very intelligent cat. They are talkative and tend to become very close to their human companions. Their meow is quite unique (deep and loud).

The Siamese coat pattern is beautiful. The face, ears, paws and tail have darker colouring, the body is light. Their amazing eyes are blue and almond shaped. The most commonly known colours are seal, blue, chocolate and lilac.

Hi there. Love this post - it's SUPA interesting for us because I am Bizzibabs - a PRA sealpoint Siamese. Both my purr-ents were PRA+ and so I was born was a nasty gene that made me go blind (totally) just after my 2nd birthday. I am now 3 years old. With my Mauwie helping me I am spreading PRA_awareness around the world using Instagram as my platform. If you are curious please have a look @bizzibabs_pra_siamese and if you can help in any way to help us spread the word that PRA testing should be done before breeding Siamese please contact us.
