Thai cat

The Siamese and Thai cats have the same roots and come from Thailand, the former Siamese.
In the 1970s, the breeding of slimmer, more delicate and graceful Siamese cats became fashionable.

Despite the fact that the Siamese gradually disappeared, some breeders stuck to the traditional Siamese
fixed. Since the judges tended towards the slimmer, newer Siamese type, the breeders at shows
fight through. We owe it to her perseverance that the old Siamese cat was back.
This cat was named Thai cat.

With the Thai cats one should attach great importance to the pedigrees and also over 5 or 6 generations
check whether it really is a pure Siamese pedigree. This is recommended because many Thai breeders
especially at the end of the 1990s, foreign breeds such as Burmese, Rex, and Colorpoint Britons were bred to achieve the desired
get phenotype. The reference to "old, real Siamese cats" used by many breeders leaves
often no longer justified. Therefore, the ancestor list
is suggested in the family tree database traceable (e.g. at www.ardeleana.nl).

Character

Thai cats are known as an intelligent, very sensitive and yet robust cat breed. Compared to the
Domestic cats, they are very affectionate and often form a close bond with a specific human to which, like dogs, they are faithfully devoted throughout their lives. The saying "From the inside dog, from the outside
Cat" is often heard in connection with the Thai cat or Siamese cat. They are unconventional in character
and dominant, playful, curious and active, meowing often and willingly.

Care

Because of their very short fur, Thai cats are very easy to care for. With a stroke or a

Rubber brush for short-haired dogs removes dead hair very well.

Colors of the Thai Cat

There are essentially four standard colors for Thai and Siamese cats, with the colors red, cream and

their combinations are added. The primary colors are seal point, chocolate point, lilac point and blue point.
In addition, there are also red-point, creme-point, seal-tortie-point beige, blue-tortie-point,
chocolate tortie point, lilac tortie point. The markings must be evenly colored. The above
Color variations also exist as tabby (not full color points that have a line drawing). With badge
it is made clear that the mask, ears, feet, legs and tail are a different, darker color than the
other bodies. The mask includes the nose, whisker pads, eye rims and forehead,
which is also connected to the ears by lines. The body surface is with the rest of the base color
covered, whereby the color in the Siamese is pronounced with one year, but in old age especially on the
Back increasingly darkened.
