How Did The Siamese Cat Get It's Name
Well, i can tell you what i have researched and read, but when i spoke to my Siamese buddy he told me that one day some tune was being distributed by a kind lady who always fed a special cat. The cat name was Ese. The other cats noticed all the food the fond cat was getting and decided to join in on the party. But when the lady came out she saw over 100 cats waiting to be fed tuna. She shouted out "Ese, where are you?" All the cats decided that day to be Ese because they and Ese looked the same, so they all shouted out I AM, they could not pronounce the I AM right and it came off sounding like SIAM. The lady got confused and simply went and bought more tuna. Then everyday she would open the door and all the cats would run to her shouting SIAM. then an old man passed one day and saw the peculiar looking cats and ask the lady, "what type of cats are those?" She shudder her shoulder and said " Siamese i guess" And from that point, they were called Siamese cats! OK, that was the story my cat told me. And i believe him. But here is what the books say.

The cat originally came from Thailand. Thailand was originally known as Siam back in the good ole' days. So the cats were naturally called Siamese. Changing the cats name to Thailese would have probably sucked. So Siamese it is. I find the cat's version much better, don't you?
