About The Thai The Thai is a moderate type of Siamese with a variety of names, including Traditional, Applehead, Old-Style, or Classic Siamese. They are considered foreign-type, not as lanky as a show-style Siamese, but lithe and muscular. The head is rounded and set with brilliant blue eyes, with broad-based ears set high on the head.
Thai are people-loving, fiercely devoted cats who are almost too intelligent for their own good. Great with children and other pets, Thai need regular play and interaction, and do best when kept with at least one other cat of its own activity level. Thai left alone for too long will become despondent, and may become destructive as a result. They are chatty, loving to express their opinions to anyone who will listen and carry on a good conversation.
