Thai/ Old-style Siamese
Cat
Thai is newly classified cat breed, similar to but distinct from the modern Western Siamese cat. There is little dispute that the cats that were imported from Siam to Western countries in the 19th and early 20th century were broader in features than today’s Western Siamese. While the Thai, known in Thailand as the Wichien-Maat, has common ancestry with the Western Siamese, generations of separate breeding of these two cats have spearheaded the development of two distinct breeds.The International Cat Association.
