A History of the Breed: The Siamese Cat

The Siamese were originally brought to the US from Thailand in the late 1800s. It is widely believed that Siamese descend from the Sacred Temple Cats of Siam, now know as Thailand and are one of the oldest Asian breeds. The breed was considered so prestigious that only the King and Royal Family were allowed to keep them as pets. 

Siamese are the most highly recognized breed in the world and appear in poems and myths dating back as early as 1350. Adele Locke is recorded as owning the first registered Siamese "Stockehaven Siam". Locke owned multiple Siamese in her lifetime and traveled frequently to show them. Many photos of Adele and her Siamese can be found by completing a simple Internet search. 

Siamese are one of the most talkative breeds of cats, they talk with their voice and their body and are extremely social. Siamese are very active and extroverted, they crave human interaction and bond strongly with their human companions. If you have a Siamese in your home you will never be lacking for conversation or company, they tend to want to be involved in whatever your doing and will talk with you the entire time. 
So if you're looking for a chatty companion who tends to always be underfoot, but is guaranteed to keep you laughing, the Noble Siamese may be the next cat for you.
