Scope note
Breed of domestic cat that originated in Thailand. It is characterized by a long body and tail, wedge-shaped head and slightly slanted blue eyes. Siamese are typically white or buff colored on the body with darker "points" on the tail, head, and feet, which may be dark brown (seal point), blue gray (blue point), milk-chocolate brown (chocolate point), pinkish gray (lilac point), or reddish orange (red point). The color and coat pattern are genetically recessive characteristics.
