Breed review: Siamese



Siamese cats are they are extremely talkative and wish to voice out their opinion for every single thing. They will tell you exactly what they think, in a loud, raspy voice like a baby cries, and they expect you to pay attention and act on their advice. To some cat lovers, who prefer their felines to be seen and not heard, the Siamese rasp (some would say yowl) can be a bit annoying. But nahh, how could you hate this snuggly creature?




Siamese come in four or more colours, mainly seal, chocolate, blue, and lilac point. The colour is restricted to the face mask, ears, legs, and tail, while the body remains a lighter colour (white or light grey). The concentration of colour is kept to the point areas by a temperature-controlled enzyme that creates greater depth of colour at the parts of the body farthest away from the cardiovascular system. The cooler the environment, the darker the colour becomes. Kittens are born white as they rely on their mother’s heat and they develop the colours as they grow older.





Females Siamese weight between 5 and 6 pounds and males between 6 and 7 pounds. Because of their short, fine coat, Siamese only need weekly combing to remove dead hair and distribute skin oils. However, make sure to pay attention to dental care and brush the teeth to prevent periodontal disease.
