This article will present general information about Siamese kittens for sale.

The West was introduced to the breed in the 19th century. Popularity in Europe was hugely assisted by the London Crystal Palace cat Show. It was preferred as a pet by many people at that time. With the beginning of the 20th century, the breed was introduced to the United States. It was sent to President Hayes in 1878 as a gift from a US diplomat to Thailand consulate.

This animal is placed apart from other cats by specific physical characteristics. The eyes of a modern cat are almond-shaped. It has a triangular face with very large ears.

These colors include blue, chocolate, seal, and lilac point.

The most common diseases that affect them include congenital heart diseases which include aortic stenosis, asthma/bronchial disease, and amyloidosis.

Naturally, they will prefer the comfort of the interior of a house and may only go outside when they are chased from the house.

Siamese is one of the greatest choices for a family pet. The breed can coexist with cat-friendly dogs, other cats, and children. It is a quick learner and they enjoy and love the attention of people.
