Venus' Eye, not for the blue eyes but for a light squinting and the tied tail: two genetic faults which have been interpreted, in the past, in courious manners.
Were told stories about mythical princesses who left their faithful siamese to be the gard of vases full of diamonds and precious gems. To well watch over them the siamese twisted its tail around the vase and fixed its eyes on the jewelry so long to become squilt-eyed.
Those siameses which had, instead, a hook at the end of the tail, were used in a different way: on their flexible end were threaded some rings which, thanking to the tail's swelling, couldn't be slipped by the thieves.

Siamese doesn't ask, it demands to be loved.
It's a surprising, very comunicative cat. The today's siamese is smart, possessive, checky, very sensitive, stubborn and gossip. It's also gelous and who's close to it must learn to accept and forgive its gelousy rows. It's a cat which demonstrates its love to its owners but demands to be loved on its side. It gets affectionated to a single component of the family who will be the first in its values' scale, before the house and its territory (this fact is very strange among domestic cats). It's not very sociable with strangers.

Siameses are completerly white at birth; around the 8th day after their birth they start to get darker at the ends but the colour is defined not until the seventh month.
To the ivory white fur are combined either seal colors or chocolate, red, or turtle teints, whereas to lighter white (ice) are combined either blue, lilac, cream and bluecream varieties.

Just before two months of age, the puppies are very enterprising: they go away from their mother searching for the master.

Siameses miaow unceasingly: miaows can have a so high frequency that it can annoy who's nearby. So, the one who'd to have a siamese must be a very well-balanced person, neither irritable at all nor nervous, but able to appreciate its way to gossip.

Strong manners are vane with siameses, they can just make the situation worse. Only kindness can convert it to docility. Continuous and patient attempts are the best to dissuade them from doing what we don't want them to do.

It provides itself to its daily cleanness tidying up its short hair many times a day.

In Italy the siameses is present since 1950's and is one of the most popular cats, althogh still today, many don't know how to recognize the true siamese.
It's not enough, in fact, that it has dark ends, but the essential, elegant and thread-like structure is important, besides the triangular muzzle with its big ears and the lightly round profile.
These are the characteristics of siameses and they distinct it from other cats (that are dumpy and have a round muzzle), beautiful domestic cats but just dressed as siameses.
