Traditional or Applehead Siamese


Traditional Siamese

Modern Siamese
Please notice the Traditional or Applehead Siamese has a robust and heavier set body than the Modern Siamese. Also the Traditional's head is rounder.
Like the Classic to the Extremal Persian, so is the Applehead to the Modern Siamese: less extreme, older breedwise and much more preferable.
The Applehead Siamese is heavyset and more robust then the modern siamese as you can see above. This is what the first cats to arrive from Siam looked like.
The character is calm, contrary to the Modern Siamese. The cats are agile, demonstrative, domineering, graceful, loyal, affectionate, devoted, intelligent and resourceful. Very vocal.
