Siamese, Please!

June 7, 2008

Hey there.  Today is going to be part educational, part comparison.  Today, we are going to be learning about Siamese cats.  We are also going to be learning about Sagwa, TV’s own Siamese cat.  So let’s get started.

 

First you should know that Siamese cats were a type of species that appeared in a country called Siam, now known as Thailand.  Meanwhile, this is something to compare against.  In the TV show Sagwa, Sagwa lives in China. How’d that happen?  I don’t know, but maybe you do.

 

Siamese cats are extremely vocal, which means they meow a lot.  Their voices are loud and low.  In Sagwa, all the Siamese cats speak English, but only to each other, not to the royal family they belong to.  Both fictional and real Siamese cats are extremely friendly.  Both groups of Siamese cats also cannot camouflage themselves, despite their amazing color.

 

FUN FACTS:

 

  1. The cat in the popular newspaper comic strip “Get Fuzzy” is a Siamese.
  2. Two Siamese cats belonged in the White House because their owners had Presidential fathers.
  3. The popular book character “Skippyjon Jones” is a Siamese cat.  
  4. A ton of different breeds have derived from the Siamese cat.
