The Siamese cat is one of the first distinctly identified breeds of Asian cat. These cats were originated in Siam, which was later named as Thailand and was not exported until the late 19th century.
In 1878, U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes and his wife received one of these exotic felines as a gift.
The Siamese have contributed to the creation of several other breeds, including Himalayan, Burmese, Balinese and more.

Feeding & Grooming
Feeding: These cats’ triangular head and jaw mean they’re prone to swallowing dry cat food whole, rather than chewing it. Because chewing dry food aids in maintaining the teeth clean and reducing the buildup of plaque and tartar, it’s important to select cat food in size and shape that forces them to chew their food before swallowing.
Grooming: With a short and soft coat, you won’t notice as much grooming with a Siamese as you would with other breeds of cats. To maintain a healthy shine of coat, comb her weekly.
