Currently, two breeds of cats because of their origin from the kingdom of Siam (modern Thailand) for ordinary inhabitants have one name - Siamese. But they are almost completely different animals, both in appearance and in character. Let's try to figure out what is the difference between a true Siamese cat and a Siamese cat by descent, but correctly named Thai.
What is the difference between a Siamese cat and a Thai cat?
First, let's look at the appearance of these cats. This immediately catches the eye for such peculiarities of the structure of Siamese cats as a very refined body (sometimes uninformed cat lovers take them for exhausted animals), the muzzle has a wedge shape, the ears, in relation to the general format of the cat, seem huge and have pointed tips. The distinctive features of cats of true Siamese breed include the absence of the bridge of the nose - if you look at the animal in profile, then clearly the location of the forehead and nose is practically in a straight line.
Now, to determine the distinctive features of the Thai breed of cats , consider the external structure of these representatives of the cat family. About the Thais we can say that they have a more rounded structure of the trunk, their entire appearance suggests that this is a fairly strong animal, although it is graceful enough and flexible. The ears of Thai cats are quite commensurable with the size of the head and have rounded tips. The head shape of Thai cats can be considered rather round, unlike the Siamese with their subtle, almost triangular head. Another very interesting, you can say "nominal", a feature of Thai cats - their wool has no undercoat.
And in conclusion it should be said that Siamese cats differ from Thai and in character. Thai cats are more playful and calm. Then the Siamese can be self-willed and self-centered.
