Celebrate National Siamese Cat Day
Meezers & Myths: The Magic of Siamese Cats. Every year on April 6th, cat enthusiasts around the world celebrate Siamese Cat Day, honoring one of the most distinctive and charismatic cat breeds to ever grace our homes.
Siamese cats are affectionately called Meezers because they are a very talkative breed. “Meezer” is said to be similar to the sound of a Siamese’s loud, low-pitched cry.
As a lifelong cat Siamese owner (since the age of 18) I’m thrilled to share some fascinating insights about these magnificent creatures that have stolen hearts for centuries.
The Royal Legacy
Siamese cats aren’t just any breed—they’re feline royalty! These elegant cats originated in Siam (now Thailand), where they were treasured by royal families and lived in palaces. Ancient manuscripts from the 14th century depict these distinctive cats, making them one of the oldest recognized breeds in the world.
The royal families believed Siamese cats would receive their souls upon death, which explains why these cats were treated with such reverence and luxury. What many don’t know is that stealing a Siamese from the royal family was once punishable by death! These weren’t just pets—they were sacred animals with a divine purpose.
Those Mesmerizing Blue Eyes
The first thing anyone notices about a Siamese cat is those stunning sapphire blue eyes. But did you know that the intense blue color comes from a genetic quirk? Siamese cats have a form of partial albinism caused by an enzyme deficiency that affects pigment production. This same enzyme is temperature-sensitive, which explains their distinctive color points!
A Siamese kitten is actually born completely white. The cooler areas of their body—ears, face, paws, and tail—gradually develop darker fur as they grow. The warmer parts of their body remain lighter. This fascinating temperature-sensitive coloration is why Siamese cats living in colder climates tend to develop darker coats overall.
Vocal Virtuosos
If you’ve ever lived with a Siamese, you know they’re far from quiet roommates. These cats are famous for their loud, raspy vocalizations that some compare to a baby’s cry. They have an extensive vocal repertoire ranging from soft chirps to demanding yowls.
In my many years of working with Siamese cats, I’ve documented over 30 distinct vocalizations with specific meanings. Many owners report that their Siamese “talks” to them throughout the day, commenting on everything from dinner being late to expressing disapproval over a new furniture arrangement.
The talkative nature of Siamese cats has even earned them roles in films and cartoons. Remember the mischievous Siamese cats in “Lady and the Tramp”? While the portrayal was exaggerated (and admittedly problematic by today’s standards), it did capture one truth: these cats have opinions, and they’re not afraid to share them!
Intelligent Companions
Siamese cats consistently rank among the most intelligent cat breeds, often compared to dogs in their ability to learn commands, solve puzzles, and even play fetch. Their problem-solving abilities are remarkable—I’ve observed Siamese cats learning to open doors, turn on faucets, and even figure out how to disable alarm systems!
Without a doubt my Merlin was the smartest cat I’ve ever know. His legacy is his column Mondays with Merlin which you can find by searching Merlin in the search bar like this one.
Mondays With Merlin: Lessons in Being Seen by a Blind Cat
This intelligence, combined with their social nature, means Siamese cats form incredibly strong bonds with their humans. They’re known to follow their owners from room to room, supervising activities and offering “assistance” with everything from cooking to computer work.
The Modern Siamese: Evolution of a Breed
Today’s Siamese cats look quite different from their ancestors. There are now several distinct breed standards recognized by cat associations worldwide:
Traditional Siamese (Thai or Applehead)
These cats most closely resemble the original Siamese from Siam. They feature round heads, moderately triangular faces, and muscular, medium-sized bodies. The traditional Siamese maintains the distinctive color points but has a more robust appearance than its modern counterparts. Organizations like TICA (The International Cat Association) recognize this variant as the “Thai” breed.
Classic Siamese
A middle-ground between traditional and extreme, Classic Siamese cats have moderately wedge-shaped heads with a balanced overall appearance. They were popular during the mid-20th century and represent what many people think of as the “typical” Siamese.
Modern Siamese
The Contemporary or Modern Siamese recognized in CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association) shows features an extremely sleek body, long tapering lines, elongated neck, very large ears, and a dramatically wedge-shaped head. These cats are the most extreme in type, with slender, almost tubular bodies and fine bones.
Magnificent Color Points
The Siamese’s distinctive coloration comes in a fascinating array of officially recognized point varieties:
Seal Point: The original and most recognized Siamese coloration. Features dark brown, almost black points with a cream or fawn body.
Blue Point: Slate-blue points with a bluish-white body, giving a cool, sophisticated appearance.
Chocolate Point: Warm milk-chocolate colored points with an ivory body.
Lilac Point: Delicate pinkish-gray points with a glacial white body, one of the most subtle point varieties.
Red Point (also called Flame Point): Bright orange-red points with a warm white body
Cream Point: Soft cream-colored points with an off-white body.
Lynx Point: Any of the above colors with tabby striping in the points.
Tortie Point Points showing tortoiseshell patterning (patches of red/cream mixed with another color).
Colorpoint: Not technically Siamese but Siamese-derived, these cats display point colors not accepted in traditional Siamese standards, like cinnamon and fawn.
The Distinctive Siamese Coat
The Siamese coat is another marvel of feline genetics. Unlike the plush double coats of many breeds, Siamese cats sport a fine, short, glossy coat that lies close to the body. This single-layered coat feels like silk to the touch and requires minimal grooming.
The lack of undercoat means Siamese shed less than many other breeds, though they do still have seasonal shedding periods. Their fine fur also makes them less likely to trigger severe allergic reactions in some cat-allergic individuals, though they are not truly hypoallergenic.
This sleek coat serves another purpose—it allows you to fully appreciate their elegant muscular structure and graceful movements, accentuating the long lines that make these cats so visually striking.
Health Considerations & Care
As a responsible cat expert, I should mention that Siamese cats can be prone to certain health conditions due to their genetic makeup. These include progressive retinal atrophy, certain heart conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, crossed eyes (strabismus), kinked tails (less common in modern breeding), and respiratory issues. Their fine coat requires minimal grooming, but their active nature means they need plenty of stimulation to prevent behavioral issues.
The fine, silky coat of the Siamese is self-maintaining for the most part. Weekly brushing with a soft rubber brush or chamois cloth will remove loose hairs and stimulate circulation, keeping their coat gleaming. Unlike many breeds, Siamese rarely develop mats or tangles. During seasonal shedding periods (typically spring and fall), more frequent brushing can help manage the increased hair loss.
One special consideration with Siamese cats is their sensitivity to temperature. Their thin coats provide less insulation than other breeds, making them heat-seekers who will often be found curled up in the warmest spot in your home. Many Siamese owners provide heated beds or extra blankets during colder months to keep these temperature-sensitive felines comfortable.
On the positive side, Siamese cats are generally long-lived, with many reaching their late teens or even early twenties with proper care. Their active lifestyle and intelligent minds keep them youthful well into their senior years.
Celebrating Siamese Cat Day
If you’re lucky enough to share your home with a Siamese cat, celebrate this special day by treating them to interactive play sessions, a new puzzle toy that challenges their intelligent minds, or perhaps some fresh seafood (a favorite among many Siamese cats I’ve worked with).
For those without a Siamese companion, consider supporting Siamese rescue organizations that help these chatty cats find loving homes. Their distinctive appearance sometimes leads to impulse adoptions, followed by surrenders when owners aren’t prepared for their vocal and demanding nature.
Whether you adore their talkative personality or their striking appearance, Siamese cats have certainly earned their special day of recognition. These blue-eyed beauties have traveled from royal palaces to our modern homes, bringing their regal presence and unabashed opinions with them every step of the way.
Happy Siamese Cat Day to all the magnificent, vocal, intelligent, and loving Siamese cats out there!
Love, Layla, Odin, Otto and Angel Merlin
