The Traditional Siamese Cat is a wonderful creature that is sometimes overlooked and can
be under appreciated. This website is dedicated to the support of the Traditional
Siamese Cat.
I now
add my praises in defense of the Traditional Siamese Cat. I personally do not like the
appearance of the modern or wedge-head Siamese Cats, but this does not mean that they lack
merit. I am not attacking the breed or the people who love them because any Siamese Cat is
glorious. I am simply promoting the Traditional Siamese Cat.
I
love this breed so much because I have always lived with one since childhood. The
Traditional Siamese Cat is the perfect pet for a person who appreciates Siamese
cats for all that they are worth. They are affectionate, intelligent, vocal and quite
robust. The Traditional Siamese Cat is the most common type of Siamese kept as a family
pet. Many people like the idea of a Siamese Cat, but like myself do not like the looks of
the Modern Siamese. The other consideration is cost. The Traditional Siamese Cat is
generally easier and cheaper to acquire than a wedge-head Siamese because they are often
breed by families for other families. If you are looking for a wonderful family pet, why
not consider acquiring a Traditional Siamese Cat?
Professional breeders decided to develop the new look seen in the wedge-head. I do not
like the look of this alternative form of Siamese. I prefer the more rounded face and
robust body of Traditional Siamese cat. It is such a same that the Traditional Siamese can
no longer compete in conventional cat shows. This is because the standards of what is
considered a perfect Siamese have been changed to accommodate the new look. I do not think
that this is fair to the majestic history of the breed. I believe that the Traditional and
Modern Siamese Cats can co-exist in every household, breeding programs, the show ring and
in our hearts.
