The Siamese is one of the oldest and most recognizable cat breeds, famous for its striking color-point coat and extremely vocal, social personality. Their very short, fine, close-lying coat is among the easiest to groom of any cat breed — it produces minimal loose fur and virtually never mats. Their grooming needs are minimal; their demand for your attention is not.
