It is highly vocal and acquires a range of cries, including a penetrating mating call.

These cats were first exported from Siam to the US in 1878 and the UK in 1884. The Siamese itself is a natural breed, which explains that its original pointed pattern was the result of a genetic mutation. The breed has given rise to the creation of many other breeds, including the Himalayan division of the Persian, the  Havana Brown, and the Tonkinese. The most crucial thing to know about these cats is they are talkative and assertive.


They will tell you exactly what they think, in a loud, husky voice, and they expect you to pay attention and act on their advice. Siamese cats are extremely adoring towards their people. They like to be “helpful” and will follow you around and look after your every move. When you are sitting down, working on your laptop or watching your favorite tv show, a Siamese will be on your lap, and at night he will be laying in bed with you, possibly under the covers with his head on the pillow. Siamese is good with socializing, therefore it’s a perfect choice for families with children and cat-friendly dogs. He loves to play fetch as well as any doggie, easily learns tricks, and loves the attention he receives from children who treat him amiably and with respect.

Facts

  •  Siamese cats were first originated in Thailand around the 14th century when they first appeared in a Thai manuscript. Therefore they are one of the oldest cat breeds in the entire world.

  •  For a long time, many Siamese cats were strabismic (crossed eye) and curved, kinked tails.

  • Hundreds of years ago, they are most valued to royal families in Thailand because of their distinctive, unusual, and fascinating appearances. Members of these royal families regarded that a Siamese cat would receive their soul when they died—and the cat would spend the rest of his life living in a temple and being taken care of by monks and priests.

  •  Siamese cats are extremely talkative. They vocalize their opinions on their food, observations they make through the window, and anything that they come across throughout the day and night.

How to take care of them

They should combed on weekly basis, to remove dead hair and scatter skin oils from their short, fine fur. Brushing the teeth of the cat prevents periodontal disease. It’s a good idea to keep a Siamese as an indoor cat to protect him from diseases and infections spread by other cats, also it could prevent attacks by dogs or coyotes. Siamese who go outdoors run the risk of hitting vehicles or could be stolen by someone who would love to have such an alluring cat without even paying for it. As said before, these cats are incredibly talkative and opinionated. Make sure you have more than enough time to spend with this demanding and social cat. 


They do not like being left alone for long periods, and if you work during the day it can be smart to get two cats so they can keep each other company. The Siamese is highly clever, lithe, athletic, and loves to play. Keep his brain active with puzzle toys and his body exercised with teasing toys which he can chase and a big cat tree which he can climb. Never leave the cat without any form of entertainment. If you’re looking forward to spending your time with a cat then Siamese should be your first choice, who will make a long face if given little or no attention to it. But in the right place or home, however, he thrives for years.

One look at the Scottish Fold and it’s pretty easy to see where he got the second half of his name. Yup, he’s named after his folded ears and yes, he hails from Scotland. The Scottish Fold breed members today can all trace their heritage back to Susie, a white female cat with unusual collapsed ears, who lived as a barn mouser in Scotland. Susie might have lived her life in obscurity but in 1961 a shepherd named William Ross and his wife Mary noticed her. When Susie had kittens with a local tom, realizing the uniqueness of Susie’s 'lop' ears, Mr. Ross acquired one of them, a female he named Snooki. Snooks had kittens, and one, a male was bred to a British Shorthair. Thus began the development of what was first known as “lop-eared cats,” later as Scottish Folds, a nod to their country of origin and their defining characteristic. Scottish Folds were first imported into theUnited States in 1971 by Dr. Neil Todd for research on genetic mutation. One of the cats found his way to Sall
