The Siamese (Thai: วิเชียรมาศ, RTGS: Wichianmat) is one of the first distinctly recognized breeds of Oriental cat. The breed originated in Thailand (formerly known as Siam), where they are one of several native breeds and are called Wichian Mat (วิเชียรมาศ, a name meaning "moon diamond" ). In the 20th century the Siamese cat became one of the most popular breeds in Europe and North America.
The pointed cat known in the West as "Siamese", recognized for its distinctive markings, is one of several breeds of cats from Siam described and illustrated in manuscripts called "Tamra Maew" (Cat Poems), estimated to have been written from the 14th to the 18th century.
It is often said that the breed was first seen outside their Asian home in 1884, when the British Consul-General in Bangkok, Edward Blencowe Gould (1847–1916), brought a breeding pair of the cats, Pho and Mia, back to Britain as a gift for his sister, Lilian Jane Veley (who went on to co-found the Siamese Cat Club in 1901). However, in 1878, U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes received "Siam", a gift from the American Consul in Bangkok; this cat was also the first documented Siamese to reach the United States, and predates the Siamese's arrival in the UK by 6 years.

I like your cowboy hat
But I don't like your daughter
She's just so spoilt and mean
A regular teenage queen
You gave her everything but time
I'm breaking up with you
I don't want nothing to do with this
I ain't no glutton for punishment
She got you hoppin' like a frog
(Go bullfrog)
We'll never have a minute of peace
She never gonna leave us be
I didn't sign up for abuse
You let her get away with murder
You say you're so afraid you'll hurt her
Well I can see it's just no use
I'm breaking up with you
I like your Siamese cat
I like your cowboy hat
