Siamese

One of the ongoing favorites in the cat world is the ever popular Siamese. From this breed has sprung many other great lines: Himalayan, Snowshoe, Balinese and Tonkinese.

This beautiful animal is intelligent with an outgoing personality. It has a high energy level and demands to be part of the family. If you're looking for a couch potato this probably isn't the cat for you. Besides their sapphire blue eyes, they are probably best known for their vocalization. They talk constantly and sound like a crying baby. Their ancestors were highly regarded and lived in temples in Siam.

The average age of a Siamese is from fifteen to twenty years. Elderly Siamese often suffer from chronic renal failure.

An interesting bit of trivia: Siamese are born white. Their points--the darker portion of their coat--come in later. Siamese point colors are most often seal, chocolate, lilac and blue.

Looking for a fun addition to your family? Siamese will bestow upon you their loyalty and love. Sadly, these wonderful animals can be found in shelters and rescues. If you're looking to get a Siamese, please save a life: adopt.

They are beautiful and exotic, but you're right -- noisy!

Yeah:) Have you ever had Siamese, Rhobin?

Yes, they do like to talk, but they put up with a lot. When I was a kid, I dressed mine in baby clothes and took her for walks in a stroller. She never tried to escape. She seemed to love it!
