The perfect master of a Siamese cat is one who loves cats who do not accept compromise and appreciates the strong personality of this breed , it will never separate him and spend a lot of time and patience . Its noble origins make it less vagrant than other cats , while her dress, which fades on the darkest points makes it mysterious and intriguing at first glance.That is why those who choose a Siamese not only a cat any , a popular chat gathered in the streets , he wants instead look at his friend someone really unique, an animal whose beauty and elegance does not have to equal or rival.The origins of the Siamese catSiamese Cat BreedVarious hypotheses have been formulated on the ancestors of the Siamese cat , but the question is still no definitive answer. What is certain is that this race has oriental origins : the oldest subjects on which we have information were raised by the kings of Siam (now Thailand) in the capital Ayutthaya was founded in 1350 and destroyed in 1767 by the Burmese.The first statement is contained in the Book of Poems chat now jealously guarded at the National Library in Bangkok, which we may infer the existence of Siamese subjects from the fifteenth century . In Europe, the first Siamese cats were shown at the London Exhibition of 1871, and in 1884 , the British consul in Bangkok, Owen Gould, gave his sister a couple of Siamese, Pho and Mia .Although Europeans have labeled as a " cat nightmare" and despite the serious problems caused by the British climate and inbreeding , pattern of genetic alterations , dissemination grew rapidly until the official recognition of the breed , in Britain in 1936 .The ideal catWhen we talk about cat breeds and ideal forms , everything is more complicated than you think at first glance. There are in fact two types of Siamese cat . The first is the Oriental Siamese ( not to be confused with the Oriental ), which has a triangular head with a long muzzle and right as a tablet , ears wide base ending in a point and tied down so that the tip is as much as possible aligned with the top of the skull . Finally, he has blue eyes , almond shaped , inclined towards the nose.The traditional Siamese , also called Thai or U.S. apple face , on the other hand the less elongated , more similar to the European cat, and his body is also less slender head. The latter is the rest Siamese everyone knew before the selection exerted by farmers are very slender leads to current topics.Siamese tail is long and thin and tapers . Curve (or node) final is a genetic defect that causes no inconvenience but for the subject, except that prevents access to cat shows . The body is medium in size ( height at withers 30 cm, weight about 3 kg) but very slender , shoulders should not be wider than the flanks and hind legs are slightly longer than the previous typical way : this feature makes the Siamese very stylish and gives fascinating shapes and incomparably refined movements.Hair colorThe hair is very short, fine , shiny, smooth and compact . Its main characteristic is the darkest color that appears at the end of the legs , nose , ears and tail ( points). The Siamese cat may have these items in different colors and , on this basis, we recognize many varieties of Siamese : chocolate dot ( milk chocolate) , blue point , red dot , lilac point , seal point , cream point etc. . There are also Siamese tabby point , that is to say, whose points are tabbies .The main feature of the Siamese is therefore not the color itself , but having points , that is to say, the mask , ear , the end of the legs and the tail of a color plus darker than the dress. The color contrast between the points and the body needs to be. Staining of greater body is allowed in older cats , and the color of the points must be as uniform as possible. The gene that produces the characteristic color of Siamese and blue eyes (called Himalayan gene) is recessive and therefore can not show that it is inherited from both father and mother .The skin, as can be seen on the edge of the eyelid , nose , lips and fingers , follows the color points , so that in case of doubt about the color of the cat - for example between Siamese seal point Siamese and chocolate spot - we look at the fingers ( clearer in the chocolate ) . Note: remember that at birth the Siamese is a solid light color and it was not until ten days appear the typical darker areas , which complement and define a few months.the characterThe main features of the Siamese cat , which often correspond to the tastes of the person who takes companion , is his strong personality and his very active and happy , but also loving and loyal character .With a strong temperament , sometimes a little bit nervous and any patient way, it creates a strong emotional bond with the whole family, by distinguishing between different members: sometimes it also jealously manifests a preference for a members of the family, devoting almost too much attention. In this case, it may adopt an almost canine attitude , arriving to "defend" his favorite , even before the house or territory .By its character and nervousness, Siamese requires patience and respect on the part of the student who , for example, to cut its very sharpened claws ... We never saw Siamese patient, one might even say that these cats are impatient by nature and they want to know everything immediately , otherwise they get angry so almost theatrical . In return, the love of his master led him to follow him everywhere , supporting good heart even travel by car . Some , if they are used to time ( if necessary), can even accept willingly leave if it is the only way to go for a walk in a beautiful garden where satisfy their innate curiosity.While a courageous nature, Siamese is not very sociable with strangers and he likes his privacy. Its owner enjoy his company very quickly : the cat knows how true "discourse" by modulating his voice and following his master in its domestic activities. In sum, although invasive and hypersensitive , the Siamese cat finally fits better than many other cohabitation family , so that his ideal medium may be inhabited by a large family apartment: in this case, it will show able to establish different relationships with each of its members. Do not forget he loves the children with whom it is very soft .careBefore taking the kitty at home , you must wait until it has spent at least two or three months with his mother and his brothers, this is the only guarantee for an adult cat healthy and balanced behavior. Also note that once at home, the Siamese cat will still need to vent their vivacity in the game, with or without their master must therefore bear with a touch of humor to any small disasters .Poorly suited to those who love idleness and quiet typical of other breeds , Siamese absolutely need physical activity to maintain their slender and strong physique. However, they must be educated vigorously so that they understand their limitations. Otherwise, the Siamese may become the sole owner of the house, showing off in breathtaking performance sports like rock climbing curtains, long jump of furniture to another football with any object , so delicate and quiet as possible ... It is his master to limit these events, so do emerge as the positive aspects of his new companion . To educate , but it takes a lot of patience and avoid strong and brusque manner , which would result in the excited a little more.Physical and psychological differences between the sexes are the same as in all other cats , the male is larger and more impetuous, but also more independent, and softer and quieter female. The disadvantages are also fairly well distributed . The female has an estrous cycle two or three times a year , at the age of five months, while the male can mark his territory with big drops of urine and issue thundering voice calls. The remedy of sterilization is possible, like all cats, without any particular problems .To choose the kitten to bring home , the advice of an expert who will check its morphology will be useful , be sure to get a certificate that authenticates the origin .
