...Thanks for supporting the cause of common sense!<br /><br />In my opinion breeders messed this up.<br /><br />They modified the Siamese so much they had to go half way back to the original and in doing so had to make a new name. <br /><br />It is odd.MIchaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053301620588978911.post-70557575250081318912011-02-13T05:00:28.662+00:002011-02-13T05:00:28.662+00:00Thank you very much for your information.

It is sad to hear that the original Siamese is now called Thai rather than Siamese. <br /><br />I do hope that there will be more awareness to preserve the original breed of Siamese cats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053301620588978911.post-65670309580954453982010-03-16T12:45:11.698+00:002010-03-16T12:45:11.698+00:00Hi, You are correct.

Your articles are very informative! <br /><br />I have had the chance to care for both types of cats : the apple-shaped head and the long-faced one. Love them both.
