Siamese

Blue-eyed cat breed

Siamese is a breed of cat with a slender body, blue eyes, and distinctive color points—darker fur on the ears, face, paws, and tail.

The breed originated in Thailand, formerly called Siam.

Siamese cats are known for being vocal and social.

As an adjective, Siamese means of or relating to Siam or its people, though this usage is now dated; Thai is preferred: Siamese art, the Siamese language. (Lowercase siamese describes things joined together, like pipe fittings.)
