Everyone loves Siamese cats—they’re friendly, loyal, sociable, active, and super clever.
These adorable cats also have a distinctive, sought-after appearance that sets them apart from other breeds.
They have a distinct personality that makes these beauties even more special. They feature a perfect dark face flawlessly merged into an off-white furry coat.
The temperature of a Siamese cat’s skin directly impacts the color of its coat. For example, if the weather is warm, Siamese can better maintain the pale color of its coat.
Your Siamese cat will appear darker during winter, and as the weather warms up, it will appear lighter—this is just how it works!
If your Siamese cat’s points are overexposed to the sunlight, you may notice that some of its black furs turn reddish-brown.
A Siamese cat’s lighter-colored fur is one indication (but not the only one) that its tyrosine metabolism is dysfunctional.
Normal tyrosine levels are important for the body of your Siamese cat to produce the desired amount of melanin. The cat’s coat turns rusty when there isn’t enough in the body.
