Siamese are usually very affectionate and intelligent cats, renowned for
their social nature. Many enjoy being with people and are sometimes
described as "extroverts". Often they bond strongly to a single person.
They have a distinctive miaow that has been compared to the cries of a
human baby, and persistent in demanding attention.
These cats are typically active and playful, even as adults, and are
often described as more dog-like in behavior than other cats.
They come in a variety of color patterns, including seal point, chocolate
point, flame point, lilac point, lynx point, and tortie point. The pointed
pattern is a form of partial albinism, resulting from a mutation in
tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production. The mutated
tyrosinase enzyme is heat-sensitive; it fails to work at normal body
temperatures, but becomes active in cooler (33 °C) areas of the skin. This
results in dark colouration in the coolest parts of the cat's body,
including the extremities and the face, which is cooled by the passage of
air through the sinuses. All Siamese kittens, although pure cream or white
at birth, develop visible points in the first few months of life in colder
parts of their body. By the time a kitten is four weeks old, the points
should be sufficiently clearly distinguishable to recognise which colour
they are.
