Siamese are biatches! 


One of the siamese-owners on this thread needs to do some kind of experiment and post pictures of the results.

Have you spray painted your cat?Extra points for whoever manages to produce an accurate reproduction of the U75 logo on a Siamese.![]()

There are plenty of other pedigree cats than siamese, the poll is flawed.
On her leg, where the temperature is already cooler than body temperature - it would grow back normal there. On the body it doesn't though.already have. mine had an operation on her leg a couple of years ago and it grew back normal.
No you haven't. The colour the body fur grows back after shaving depends on skin temperature - in hot weather/central heating the bald patch of skin will stay warm and the fur will grow back pale, in cold weather the bald patch will be much cooler than the surrounding insulated furry areas and will grow in darker. It isn't permanent though.
ETA: Here's a reputable link (with photo) showing the opposite - a partially shaved Siamese living in a cold climate where the shaved area was kept warm so it grew back paler than the surrounding fur, and an explanation as to why it happens:

Ah, but may I present a worthy contender for 'huge moggy' crown?
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the majestic, domestic and, in general, absolutely wonderful mog that rejoices in the name of the 'Norwegian Forest Cat.' Also known by Norwegian folk as the 'Skogkatt' or 'Skogkatter.'
This especially majestic and beautiful example is a stud cat named Kulfi.

Siamese are nasty cats, I don't understand their appeal at all.



where's the ACAC option
ffs
Are persians thought of as being a bit highly strung?
Ive got a persiany cat, and she constantly tries to rip your face off when you stroke her.
Our half-Persian is soft as a brush. Maybe it's the moggy genes...
persians? are they the really ugly squish faced blofeld cats?
or is that burmese? i always forget.

I think meezers get a bad press. People are always telling me they are 'evil'. Then I find out they have never even met one!
I blame Walt Disney
My girl is so affectionate and gentle - she never hisses or spits like my moggies do.

)I wanna big cuddle of that cat
Agreed. Lady and the Tramp has a lot to answer for
(It's actually a great bit if you do own one though - but should never be shown to the unconverted)
Persians are the blofeld cats, but some are long and some short-haired, and they're not all squashfaced mutant grumpy-looking - that depends on how closely they've been inbred to 'champion' (=mutant, unhappy) standard.
Burmese OTO are really just siamesers (shorthaired, elegant, yowly) but in a uniform chocolate brown colour all over and with a slightly gentler, soppier, dippier, more loving temperament. Thick as short planks, though - they have a particular tendency to wander off and get killed trying to make friends with moving cars.![]()
