Grey Siamese Cats

Variations Of Grey Siamese Cats

The two kinds of grey Siamese cats are actually just variations in point colors. The blue or cool grey Siamese cats and the lilac or the warm grey Siamese cats are actually diluted versions of the seal point and the chocolate. These grey Siamese cats versions are lighter versions of the darker colored ones. Adult Siamese cats also tend to develop darker coats, as they grow older. In warmer climates, Siamese cats have lighter colored coats that those in colder climates which sometimes show grey Siamese cats.



The history of Siamese cats is based in Thailand, which was formerly known as Siam. It is believed that these cats were native to the area and a breeding pair was brought from Siam to the United Kingdom in the year 1884 as a gift. This is as far as the history of Siamese cats goes, although there are some manuscripts in Russia that illustrate cats with similar traits as the Siamese.

All Siamese cats must have almond shaped blue eyes and a creamy light colored base for their coats. In the earlier traditional breeds of Siamese cats, they had kinks in their tails and often had a cross-eyed appearance. Selective breeding soon got rid of the supposed imperfection although some die hard fans of the traditional Siamese cats have retained some breeds with the kinks and the cross-eyed looks. Fanciers of the traditional Siamese cats believe in keeping the traditional traits from Siam.

It is best to start Siamese cat training when they are still kittens. Using a litter box can be daunting for some bigger cats especially if they are used to going outside to do their business. Training cats not to scratch the furniture can also be frustrating for some homeowners and you will need to provide them with their very own scratching post for this.
