Siamese
The Siamese cat was only allowed to live in the royal households and temples of Siam. In 1884 the British Consel-General in Bangkok received two Siamese cats from the King of Siam. The British Consel-General in Bangkok took the cats and displayed them at the Crystal Palace. By 1892 these cats were recognized as a breed.

Future Information
They have a triangular face with slanting almond shaped blue eyes. These creatures are thin. They are known for their athletic build with long legs and long body, and their hind legs are a little longer than their forelegs. Their ears are large and come to a point. In the night-time their eyes will change from their normal colour to a bright red. Their tail is usually longer than other cats and it's tapered. Siamese cats are inquisitive animals, very intelligent, but noisy and demanding.
