  • Physical Characteristics

    Siamese have silky, cream-colored coats with darker "points" of color on their snout, ears, paws, lower legs and tails. Siamese kittens are born virtually white, but develop color points as they mature.

    The body of a Siamese is long and lithe, but muscular. Their triangular-shaped heads are complemented by large ears and almond-shaped blue eyes.

  • Behavior

    Highly intelligent and loyal, Siamese cats are active and remain playful well into adulthood. They form strong bonds with their owners and require regular attention, which they demand with their continual raspy meow.
