Know Your Breed :- Siamese Cats
Siamese cats are the supermodels of the cat world - hands down. Elegant, playful, curious, affectionate, intelligent, and energetic, this breed is one of the most versatile cats you'd ought to find.
The Siamese cat is not only beautiful, but also she is highly intelligent. She can be trained to walk on a lead. This intelligence does not mean, however, that she can be trained to do everything you might wish. Like most other highly intelligent breeds, the Siamese has her own desires.
The Siamese is an affectionate cat and requires her parent to be as dedicated to her as she is to her parent. Her parent must be affectionate to the Siamese and make time to play with her.
The breed comes in two varieties - traditional and modern. Traditional cats have rounder bodies, whereas modern Siamese cats have sleeker bodies. And while all seems perfect with this breed, there is one characteristic that doesn't please everyone - Siamese cats can be loud, very loud. These cats have a tendency to be very vocal, especially when they wish to convey something. Whilst this is a boon when the cat is in pain or is hurt, it may not be ideal for families who do not enjoy constant meowing.

With her long, muscular body, weight gain will show quickly in the Siamese. Siamese show a pot belly after indulging in one day of over-eating. The nutrition must be carefully controlled. The long, slim legs are not made to hold a fat body.
Siamese are great jumpers and love heights, so perches and cat trees should be provided. Siamese love to play and appreciate toys around the house for their pleasure. While the coat needs little care, Siamese tend to associate brushing with affection and will enjoy spending time being groomed.
The Siamese, as elegant as she looks, can be quite a lap cat. She is extremely affectionate and will sleep next to her parent.
Clearly, Siamese cats make great companions : )
