Siamese
The Siamese are believed to have originated in Thailand where they were temple guardians and the companions of royalty. In 1878, the U.S. consul to Bangkok gave a pair of Siamese to President Rutherford B. Hayes and First Lady Lucy Webb Hayes. Other Siamese were imported into the United States from England, and by the turn of the century, they were being shown in American cat shows.
