The elegant cats exude poise and serenity and perked the interest of the British Ambassador who brought it back to england. In the 1950s, the Siamese reached the heights of its popularity.

Almost everyone knows what a Siamese looks like as they are renowned. This is partially due to their popularity in the mystery film genre. People think that it is their inquisitive personality that makes them a complement to the role of a detective's sidekick.

Appearance - The distinctive characteristics of a Siamese cat are its long rectangular shaped body, a wedge shaped head, large ears, long and elegantly thin legs, a long graceful tail and brilliant blue, almond shaped eyes. The Siamese breed is a shorthaired cat and is available in several different colors and patterns such as Seal Point, Chocolate Point, Blue Point, or Lilac Point. Should there be different coloring, it is actually seen as a totally distinct breed; the Colorpoint Shorthair Breed.

Behavior and Characteristics - The Siamese breed is a loving, playful, affectionate cat and requires owners who are home more often than not to keep them company. Siamese who tend to get into trouble are usually cats who are left too much to their own devices and have nothing interesting to do or they can be thinking of running away.

However, if you are a career oriented person and still have your heart set on owning a Siamese, you may want to consider adding a second kitten to the home. This allows your Siamese not to be so lonely as well as having a partner in crime. But don't worry; they will both be ready and waiting to greet their owners at the door when they return home.

The Siamese is a very loyal cat to the family and is even willing to try and aid you in household chores or keep you company or even rest by your side as you unwind from a hectic day. Siamese cats are very outgoing and will meet and greet anyone who comes to the door. The older generation seem to have a fondness for the elegant and affectionate Siamese breed. A highly intelligent breed, the Siamese can be taught many tricks such as fetch and coming when their name is called.

But bear in mind that Siamese can be slightly melancholy at times and decide not to obey commands at times. In keeping with their playful nature, the Siamese breed are also known for making up their own games. Games that they adore consist of hide-and-seek as well as antics such as sudden, playful pounces on unwary family members.

If owning a cat that is vocal and affectionate, as well as devoted and entertaining puts a big smile on your face, then the Siamese breed may just be the right breed for you.
