The Siamese Cats eyes are a brilliant sapphire blue. The original cats in Siam lived in temples where they were closely guarded to keep the breed pure. So highly were they regarded that there ownership is said to have been restricted to members of the Royal family.

These beautiful cats first appeared in Australia in the 1890's, and today is one of the most popular pedigree breeds.
