Siamese cats were the very first breed of oriental cats to be introduced to the united kingdom. They are consideration to came from east Asia, however it is impossible to pinpoint their exact place.
These folks were first introduced to the united kingdom in 1884 through the British Consul-General in Bangkok who brought it well to his sister being a gift. He brought her a pair of breeding Siamese. They went on to experience a small litter of three. These kittens didn't live long but were able to create a huge impression on the Crystal Palace cat show before their deaths.
Another cat fanatic followed the Consul-General in 1886, so another pair were brought into the UK. Since the breed gained a little but strong group of followers, numerous breeders created a breeding base. It's out of this small base of roughly 11 cats that all Siamese cats in the UK are descended from.
In 1950's and 60's because the breed got very popular there was a demand of these cats to refine their characteristics. Show goers were preferring a more slender look, so that they selectively breed until they got the design that they wanted. This produced a lengthier leaner figure, a far more defined wedge shaped head with large ears set apart and a lengthy tapered tail. Those cat breeders who stayed true to the original kind of Siamese found these phones be less competitive at cat shows and for that reason there is very little demand for them.
By 1980's the first kind of Siamese cats where in the minority at cat shows as numerous owners preferred the new slender look as apposed to people with a bulkier body along with a rounder face. Although some people might UK breeders continued to breed these to preserve their original genetics so now you will find 2 distinctive kinds of Siamese Cats, the tradition as well as the modern.
The first kind of Siamese may also be now known by a few different names such as the the standard Siamese, That old Style, and Classic Siamese. Where by the harder modern style are know as Show Style Siamese.
I've not gone into the characteristics with this breed of cat in more detail however they are easily recognised by their pointy face, large ears and piercing eyes. They've very playful in nature and like to be with people. Fortunately they are very vocal and like to speak with one another in addition to their owners. They require a lot of attention and stimulation so will benefit from cat toys and human interaction.
