Siamese Cat Quiz – Talkative Voices and Pointed Coats
Siamese cats come from Thailand, once called Siam, and appear in an old manuscript known as the Cat Poems. They reached Britain in the 1800s and drew attention at the Crystal Palace cat show in 1871.
Their pointed coats come from a heat-sensitive enzyme that darkens cooler parts of the body, such as the ears, face, paws and tail. Kittens are born almost white, and points include seal, chocolate, blue and lilac.
Siamese have striking blue almond eyes and are famous for loud, frequent meows. They are social and demanding, and an early one, named Siam, was sent to President Rutherford B. Hayes.
