Cats exhibiting the unique markings of the Siamese have existed for hundreds of years but were only introduced to the west in the nineteenth century. They take their name from Siam, the country now known as Thailand. Records show that Siamese cats were first seen in the United States in 1878, over the years the breed has been selective bred to be smaller and thinner. However, enthusiasts of the larger, more traditionally sized Siamese maintain the original look by continuing to breed from larger cats. Both of these size groups are now considered acceptable breed standards.
Siamese Health: Why do they Need a Pet Insurance Plan?
