| Myths and Legends |
| The |
| BLUE |
| Eyes |
| This colour, virtually unknown to the everyday cat, is a distinct feature of the Siamese breed. The classic blue eyes are said to have been the result of a gift from God. The legend states that when Barbarians threatened to destroy the temple altar in ancient Siam, the cats defended strongly and repelled the savage invaders. Siamese cats were rewarded by the everlasting gift of their exquisite blue eyes. |
| The |
| SQUINT |
| This was said to have been won on a battle-field when cats defended the Golden goblet. The cat's eyes were riveted so firmly together that when the battle was won they were left with a permanent squint. |
| The |
| Crossed Eyes |
| The Sacred Siamese Temple cats were left in charge of an expensive vase and in order to guard this property they curled their tails around it and stared so hard that their eyes became permanently crossed. |
| The |
| Kinked Tail |
| This was said to have originated when the Royal princesses were taking a bath. The cats allowed the princesses to place their valuable bracelets and rings on the end of their tails for safe keeping. To prevent these from falling off, the Temple cats knotted their tails and after a while a permanent kink developed especially for this purpose. |
| Kalinya's Legend !! |
| Yes, we have our very own Legend and we are very, very proud of him. His name is CCCA Ch & Gld Dbl Gd Ch Kalinya Sir Rocky. After more years than we care to remember, Bev and I were fortunate to not only breed "Rocky" but to also have him purchased by Rob and Marg Gill and take residence at Woonona, New South Wales. This meant that he was living only 15 minutes from us and when babysitting was required - Bev & I were only to pleased to welcome him "home". The success of Rocky has been due to not only his Siamese quality but also to the dedication & enthusiasm Rob & Marg provided once becoming members of NSWCFA & joining the Cat Show circuit. Rocky is a tremendous ambassador for not only Siamese ownership but also for adding a feline to a home. Keep up the good work Rocky !! |
