Siamese

Originating from Siam (what is now known as Thailand), in the late 1800s, the Siamese cat reached its peak popularity in the United States in the 1950s and 60s. They even made their big-screen debut in 1955, creating trouble as the mischievous Si and Am in the Disney animated classic Lady and the Tramp. However, these svelte, muscular, pointy-eared cats aren't troublemakers. They are very social animals (you should hear the range of noises they make!), and love to play with their owners. With their temperament and energy level often compared to that of dogs, Siamese cats love to greet you at the door, and may be trained to fetch or walk on a leash. These lovable and affectionate cats make great pets for kids and seniors, as long as you'll be home to interact with them. However, be cautious about introducing another pet into your home. While they can eventually become great friends, your Siamese may be wary at first about having to share your love with another cat or dog!
