　　From SIAMESE "I shall see beauty, but none to match your

living grace," wrote poet Michael Joseph of his Siamese. To the

many lovers of this regal feline, none can ever compare to the

Siamese. Legends say that for hundreds of years the breed belonged

solely to the kings and queens of Thailand, then known as Siam, and

it served to convey their souls after death. A more recent legend

says that the first Siamese came to Britain courtesy of a royal

governess, who was featured later in "Anna and the King of Siam."

Whatever the legends, the reality is even more interesting. The

Siamese cat is probably the most distinctive of breeds:

pale-colored with dark tail, ears, feet and lower face. This

pattern, called a point pattern, is the effect of a gene that makes

the Siamese's coat lighter where its body is warmest. The cooler

extremities remain dark. The classic Siamese is a seal point, a

fawn body color with darker brown extremities, but today Siamese

come in a number of different colors. The Siamese body under its

remarkable coat is poetry in motion-fine-boned and well-tuned. And

the Siamese personality is as distinctive as it looks: extroverted,

fearless, loyal-and vocal. No wonder the Siamese have been such

popular cats for so long. The first Siamese came to the U.S. as a

gift to Lucy Webb Hayes, the wife of President Rutherford B. Hayes.

Although the cat did not live long, in its short life it captured

the attention and favor of many cat fanciers. By the early 20th

century, the Siamese was well established in America, and the rest

is history. So beloved is the Siamese that it has given rise to

numerous variations, from the Balinese to the Ocicat to the

Tonkinese. But to its many devotees, the Siamese is best as just,

well, as Siamese.
