Cats

Export hit for 200 years: The Siamese cat is one of the most well-known pedigree cats. As the name suggests, its ancestors come from the former Kingdom of Siam, which is present-day Thailand.

However, alongside the pedigree cats, there are also many other cats here in Thailand. Yet, it seems that the cats from Siam isolated themselves from others a long time ago. The breed cat often has a kink in its tail, which is sometimes considered an "authentic feature."

However, this kink is also found in other cats, including the stray cats, all over Thailand.

The reason is a genetic defect. Fusion of adjacent vertebrae causes tail bending and twisting, and even shortened tails. Multiple kinks can occur as well.

Moreover, the cats are so incredibly relaxed. They feel at ease everywhere, whether it's right next to a construction site or at a party on the beach. They are always composed.

There are a lot of cats.

In Buddhism, one is reborn. Since one does not know what one will be reborn as, the street cat can also be the uncle. Therefore, all dogs, squirrels, fish, and whatever else is found, become their food. In densely populated areas, there are more overweight dogs than those who are starving. The same goes for cats.

And because they are just so cute, I have prepared a selection of photos for you here.
