Siamese is one of the oldest cat breeds in the world: the breed has been traced back all the way to the 17th century. The conquering of the world only began in the late 19th century when siamese found their way to England. From there they spread around the world quite quickly. To Finland siamese came probably after World War 2 in the late 1940's. Siamese come in 20 different colors and also completely white. All siamese always have blue eyes. A siamese cat is great for people who want a lot from their

It seemed natural to choose Siamese cats that had always attracted me. I had thought that one day I'd have one, but I didn't imagine that day would come already about a year later. Through my research work I got to know Kristiina Rautio, the head of the Siam-Orient cat club. She helped me to get all the material I needed and I was finally able to finish my paper. I decided that I was ready to get a siamese and I reserved a kitten from Kristiina. I had to wait a whole year for the kitten, but it was worth the wait and now I get to enjoy the presence of that lovely cat lady. I wouldn't change a day. Siamese is my breed. My cattery prefix Baila-Bailan (registered
in 1996) was named after my
