The Siamese cat is probably one of the most well known and best loved of the feline species throughout the world. Siamese are extremely vocal cats and can be mischievous at times. They love nothing more than being with their human family and will constantly crave attention whilst being extremely vocal cats. Anyone looking for a peaceful, quiet home, should not really consider being owned by a Siamese. They are very intelligent cats and their antics will amuse all who share a home with them. Their elegant, lithe body can grace any show bench and attract admirers from all around. However, despite their appearance, they are very athletic cats with strong muscles. Their hind legs should be higher than their front legs and the paws are oval shaped. The Siamese head should be long and well proportioned with width between the ears. The eyes are slanting and are a deep, vivid blue. The overall look of the Siamese should be a well balanced appearance.
