As of 3/08, CFF now accepts Traditional Siamese for championship competition and registration. The breed is called Old Style Siamese. The standard is not that of the Thai cat (classic), it is that of the Traditional Siamese or Applehead.
Hi, I live in Rome (Italy) and have much passione and higth idealy for conservation original Traditional Siamese apple head... I hope conserve name of the ancient Siamese and no Thai... Thai for me is Classic Siamese... is new created race in Europe... I look ancient Traditional Siamese and Traditional Siamese Longhair (or Traditional Siamese longhair) in USA and RUSSIAN (also in France love Traditional Siamese and Traditional Balinese)...
I have cats Traditional Siamese but in Italy change name in Thai... but i look difference Thai is Classic Siamese ( for me) and no Traditional... Classic born in years 65/70... this is name Classic Siamese or Old Style Siamese.. I have Traditional Siamese of the 40 years
My dreams is Traditional Siamese in Show of the original name is TRADITIONAL SIAMESE
Sorry please for my english no good...
Thanks

Sucker for The Modern Meezer by: Jo Singer
While I have nothing against the traditional Siamese, I am a total sucker for the modern meezers. Their grace and elegance is magnficent. Reputatable Siamese breeders have done a great job in keeping these cats healthy and hearty and their grace and agility are breathtaking.
Of course I am equally nutty about the Oriental Shorthair. It took me a few months of observing the modern siamese, but once my eye grew accustomed to it, not only was I in awe, I totally was smitten.
While all cats are beautiful, the modern Meezer and the Oriental are just totally out of the ballpark beautiful to me.

Thanks for updating the site on this. It is pleasing to see. Commonsense seems to be taking over and one day the rather strange looking modern Siamese will be second to the original Siamese. Just a personal preference.
