Siamese cats: Curious much?
According to Vet Street, "The Siamese comes in two types: show and traditional. The show Siamese is a work
of modern art, all lines and angles. He has a tubular body on long legs, a
wedge-shaped head with large, triangular ears, and a long tail. The traditional
Siamese, also known as the apple-headed Siamese, has a rounded head and chunky
body. Both types have bright blue eyes that demand the worship due to all cats.
Whether you choose a show Siamese or a traditional Siamese, they should share
the same wonderful personality.
Siamese are endlessly curious, but inclined to be smart and demanding. If you
want a Siamese just for his looks, think again. This is a cat who has a passion
for his people and will involve himself in everything they are doing. When
they’re not around, he will entertain himself by turning on faucets, opening
cabinets, seeking out new hideaways to frustrate anyone who might be searching
for him, and watching television with clear interest. He may even be willing to
walk on leash and play fetch with the same enthusiasm as a certain other
four-legged animal to which he disdains being compared.
Nicknamed Meezer, the Siamese may be more famous — or infamous — for his
voice than for his looks. He will “talk” to you all day long and well into the
night, expressing his opinion on what you’re feeding him, what you’re doing, how
much (or how little) attention you’re giving him, and what the dog next door is
doing. If you appreciate his sculptural looks and don’t mind his sometimes bad
language, he may be just the cat for you."
