thaibebop Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Are Siamese cats really from Siam? Are they bred in Thailand now? If so, what breeds? My wife says she knows of Siamese cats being in Thailand and that they can get really pricey. So, why would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nawtilus Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 So, anyone can recommend the nicest siamese for children ? I like the look of the sup pa rak and the ones Udon posted, the bluish ones. If you know breeders in Bangkok for these and also very interested in 'Bengal' kittens with the real leapord spots. Breeders and price would be appreciated.

thaibebop Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks Bambina! I am glad to know they really are Thai. My family always had Siamese cats. They loved them. In English we call the breed they bought Blue Tip. They looked alot like Wi Chien Mat. They are beautiful cats. I have never seen See Sa Wat, wow that is a beautiful animal! Now, how much do the different breeds cost? Are they all pretty easy to get a hold of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughden Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 We have two Korat cats (see sa wat). They are intelligent, curious, fun and endlessly good natured (they are currently checking my typing so I have to say this!). Bought them from a breeder at 6,000 baht each with pedigree which did not seem too expensive.

sbk Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Also be aware that Siamese traits will show up in regular cats, go to your local wat and look around, you will be sure to find a few who fill your bill. That is, if pedigreed papers are unimportant to you. We had a lovely cat that wandered into our house, looked just like the khao ma nee, but with the twisted tail so commonly found in Asia (genetic trait btw). Now our one and only cat is a calico, three colored cats are considered good luck in Thailand. Ours was certainly lucky as she turns 16 this year!

sbk Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Here she is, about 2 years ago but she pretty much looks the same. Bit more gravity effect going on with the tummy but hey, that affects us all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife hates them, I mean hates them, but she agreed that if our daughter wanted one than that's what we get. I have my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylar Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 We have two Korat cats (see sa wat). My favourite picture is this one: Your cats look like they've been the objects of a taxidermist's affections in the pic you posted... a little eerie.

hughden Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Your cats look like they've been the objects of a taxidermist's affections in the pic you posted... a little eerie. That's because "mummy" was waving something that looked worthy of attack and so intense concentration was required! Korat cats do have a tendency to stare; sometime they stare at you with a look that says "we are in charge and you will stop what you are doing right now and come and amuse me!"
