The Siamese cat originated in Thailand where they had long been one of the most popular cat breeds. It was believed that the Siamese cat could protect people and places from evil spirits and so they were often used in monasteries and palaces for this purpose. The Siamese cat was also believed to bring good luck to their owners.

In 1884 several Siamese cats were given to a British general. It was the first time this breed of cat was seen in England. Soon afterwards immigrants brought the Siamese cat to America. Today the Siamese cat is one of the most popular breeds of cats in the world and certainly one of the most recognized.

Not all Siamese cats are the same color though most of them have light colored bodies with darker colors around their legs, paws, tail and face. Their eyes are usually slanted.

Siamese cats are especially known for their communications with their owners. They truly enjoy interacting with humans and are very vocal. In fact, the Siamese cat is known as the most social of all breeds of cats. If you want a cat that is quiet you don’t want a Siamese. If you want a cat that will bond with you and return your love the Siamese is a great choice.

Siamese cats, more so than other breeds, love to get lots of attention as they feel like they are the center of the world. This fact means that they can become very dependent upon their “family” and they do not like to be left alone for very long.

The Siamese cat makes a wonderful pet for children because they will give the cat plenty of love and attention. As long as you and your family gives the Siamese cat the love and attention it needs it will be a faithful pet for years to come.

THE STUDENT'S MYTHOLOGY:

A Compendium of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Assyrian, Persian, Hindoo, Chinese, Thibetian, Scandinavian, Celtic, Aztec, and Peruvian Mythologies

The New National Geographic Treasury of Greek Mythology

The new National Geographic Treasury of Greek Mythology offers timeless stories of Greek myths in a beautiful new volume. Tales of gods and goddesses such as Zeus, Aphrodite, Apollo, and Athena and heroes and monsters such as Helen of Troy, Perseus, and Medusa will fascinate and engage children’s imaginations.

National Geographic completes the book with embellishments of each story: sidebars for each god, goddess, hero, and monster link the myths to constellations, geography, history, and culture to help young readers connect the stories to real life events, people, and places. A family tree and a “cast of characters” profile page help make relationships between the characters clear, and a mapping feature adds to the fun and fascination. Resource notes and ample back matter directing readers to more information round out this luminous book.

    I would suggest that you ask your neighbors not to leave milk out as well as other food so your cat will stay home.
    Get some treats for it as well and give that to it and it will want to stay home to get that.
