I was at the Annual CFA-Cat Fanciers' Club of Thailand 4 ring show in Bangkok recently (July 23, 2006) and to my surprise, there was an extra benching and judging area adjacent to the CFA show (same hall). When I asked why, the answer was : "To judge Siamese and Korats according to the Thai standards". The ring was judged by either a Monk or a member of the Thai royal household (I can't remember! I was too busy showing my Abys). Guess what - all the cats were Traditional Siamese, most with some slight kink in the tail...so, not to worry Traditional Siamese cat lovers, the breed is very much alive and well...at least in Siam

You have no idea how much this warms my heart. Thank you for posting about this here! I have long hoped to establish some sort of relationship with a Thai breeder and import lines ... but haven't the first clue as to who to contact or how.

I don't know who the breeders are but I'm sure I can put you in touch with someone who can help you...the CFA clubs in SE Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Philippines) are a tight group and we talk to each other all the time!

My first Siamese (back in the '80's) had a kink in his tail.I can't find a picture that shows his tail, but this is Pet as you can see he was also a bit cross eyed.
