Siamese Breeders in Massachusetts

Here are two Siamese cat breeders in Massachusetts:

Cats Cradle - They breed "traditional and classic oriental and colorpoint Siamese. Located: Tyngsboro, MA. These are going to be non-standard Siamese on my reckoning. Oriental Siamese are modern Siamese or Oriental Shorthairs but I am not a breeder hence the slight uncertainty. Oriental Shorthairs are the same shape as modern Siamese cats but in a much wider range of colours and no pointing. This is their website. They also breed longhaired Siamese cats - the Balinese.

Sutton Meows - affiliated with the CFA and CCF - located in Sutton, Mass. Their cats are modern Siamese cats (slender) in the traditional pointing colors of blue, lilac, seal and chocolate. This is their website.

Lifelike Siamese pet cat plush

Uhmmm....the Siamese cat plush below is the most lifelike that I have seen on Amazon.com and there are a lot of them on that website.

As plush toys are well...plush..meaning fat the Siamese cat plush has to be a traditional Siamese cat because the modern Siamese is far to thin to be represented as a plush toy. The traditional Siamese are normal sized and shaped cats.



That's it! For the time being.

Siamese Cat Books

Here is a nice selection of Siamese cat books on Amazon.com (North American market).



Note: in my experience a lot of books on the various cat breeds are rather waffly. You might be advised to buy the best book you can afford and/or one of the books about cats generally as a book on caring for cats generally will apply to the Siamese cat of course.

Snow Leopards In Afghanistan

It is nice to know that there is something pure, natural and nice in Afghanistan. It sure as hell is not going to be human though!

Wildcats are not confined to national boundaries as are people. That applies to the snow leopard.

The distribution of the snow leopard is very large and the ranges of the individual snow leopards are the largest of all the wildcats. They can be over 1000 sq kilometers. They need a lot of space and have found it in northern Afghanistan where they have found a degree of isolation from the ever dangerous human.

Apparently they inhabit the Wakhan region. The isolation plus a reduction in poaching for their skins (thanks to good conservation) has resulted in a surviving population in the area.

Snow leopards are very elusive too. It is hard to see them, to find them. It is almost impossible.

The information for the existence of this population of snow leopards in Afghanistan comes from camera traps. These are cameras that are automatically fired off by a passing animal. Clearly they have to be well positioned and lots of patience is required. Although a person does not have to be present at the site of the camera it can take a long time for that all important photographic evidence.

The Wildlife Conservation Society estimate that there are between 4,500 and 7,500 snow leopards left in the wild across 12 Asian countries. This is a decent number by wildcat standards but nothing in relation to human populations.

See Habitat of Snow Leopard for lots more.

Si and Am Siamese Cats

Si and Am are the two Siamese cats in the successful and well known Walt Disney animated feature film, "The Lady and the Tramp".

Here they are:

Siamese Cat Song Disney

This search term relates to the Walt Disney film, "The Lady and the Tramp". The song was sung by that great American female singer and song writer: Peggie Lee who wrote the song for this Walt Disney animated feature film.

The film was released in the summer of 1955.

Loosing a Siamese Cat

Loosing a Siamese cat must be traumatic for both the cat and the human companion. I know of no particular thing that we can do except for the usual things. Making enquiries locally and putting signs up is what usually happens.

Here are some pages on a lost cat:

• Lost Cat
• I have a page on putting up signs!
• How to find a missing cat from Elisa Black-Taylor (a cat expert and regular contributor to my website).

In the UK the Siamese Cat Club have a nice service where information about lost Siamese cats can be posted on their website. This is the page on their site. It is called the Siamese Cat Club Welfare Trust. Nice one. You might like to contact them for assistance.
