Sociable, intelligent, freedom-loving and at the same time loyal, jealous, but not vengeful
playful, affectionate… It's hard to make a mistake in the definition here: Siamese cats.
The first information about the Siamese dates back to the 16th century. The inhabitants of Siam (Thailand) called their luxurious handsome men moon diamonds. Cats "reigned" in the royal family, which protected and guarded them until the export ban, and anyone who dared to encroach on the life of an animal was even threatened with the death pen alty.
To Europe Siamese ko
you got only in 1884. The English consul brought the first pair. The British perceived the highest award of the King of Siam then almost indifferently: the appearance of the gift was far from local beauty standards.
Now Siamese cats and cats are divided into 40 types: solid, striped, spotted, tortoiseshell, marble, etc. But all these subspecies belong to the same breed.
Siamese cats, photos of which are posted in the article, are real representatives of the aristocrats of the medium
di feline. This is the most common color.
"Moon Diamond" is delicately built, his head is chiseled and wedge-shaped, his skull is convex, his ears are long, large, his nose is straight and long, his coat is soft and shiny, colored unevenly. Classic - beige base color, gently turning into darker tones. The lower part of the paws, tail, muzzle and ears are much darker. The main color contrasts markedly with the darker one. The tail is long. A short tail is not welcome and is regarded as a sign of degeneration.
About the break of the tail, there is a legend in which bathing princesses put jewelry on the tails of their cats. And smart Siamese, afraid of losing these jewelry, bent their tails.
Siamese cats reflect the sky in their eyes. Blue eyes are another distinguishing feature.
Newborn kittens of this breed have a snow-white coat. Intense color appears only by three months. They are born, like all cats, rather helpless, deaf and, of course, blind. Eyes open in about a week. Then they n
begin to distinguish and sounds. All this time, caring cat mothers do not leave their children, caring for them with amazing love.
In the third week, babies try to explore the world, moving funny and clumsily on still fragile paws.
Solid foods can be tried by the sixth week. And you can take kittens to a new home after the cat stops feeding them completely.
You need to prepare in advance for the arrival of the baby. He will need a cozy basket (or box) with a woolen bedding (spread or wide scarf), two bowls for food and a tray with sand or filler.
Siamese cats are very clean, but in a new environment they are quite capable of confusing their toilet with a flower pot. Don't scold them for it. Just remove the top "marked" layer of earth and transfer to the prepared tray. The next time the kitten is looking for a hiding place, put him in a tray with the earth removed earlier. The kid will quickly understand what you want from him. Better yet, place the litter box near its resting place. After the Siamese has settled into your home, the tray can be removed to a place convenient for you (and, of course, always accessible to the baby).
Don't forget to check with the owner of the Siamese for details of feeding: a sudden change in diet can seriously harm your pet.

Where do cats go after death: do cats have a soul, do animals go to heaven, opinions of priests and owners of cats
Throughout a person's life, a very important question is of concern - is there life after death and where does our immortal soul end up after the end of earthly existence? And what is the soul? Is it given only to people, or do our beloved pets also have this gift? From the point of view of an atheist, the soul is the personality of a person, his consciousness, experience, emotions.
