Siamese cats are native to Thailand (hence the name Siam). More than 200 years ago, this precious cat was only kept in royal palaces and temples in Thailand, and it was a nobleman who never left home. When British Consul in Bangkok, Thailand 1884 left his post, he brought back one of the gifts from the Kingdom of Thailand, the Siamese cat with seal spots, which immediately attracted the attention of many cat lovers in Britain. The following year, the cat appeared at the Crystal Palace cat show on the outskirts of London, causing a shock. 1920 spread all over the world after it was introduced into the United States, and it was welcomed by cat lovers all over the world.

According to relevant records, the history of raising Siamese cats in Thai courts can be traced back to the period of King Rama V. Since then, Siamese cats have settled in the courts, and people in the courts have raised them as carefully as princes and princesses. They are dressed like jewels, and even the bowls for drinking and eating are either gold or silver. They live in a luxurious room with air conditioning, and three meals a day are cooked by a special chef. Even when Thailand suffered from financial crisis and economic depression, the Siamese cats in the court still lived a carefree and happy life.

According to legend, a long time ago in Thailand, there were countless ancient artifacts in ancient mysterious temples. These treasures with mysterious power have been guarded by two cats day and night, and no one can get close to them except priests and kings. Only when the cat's wife gives birth do they leave the temple for a day, so as not to defile the sanctity of the artifact. The treasure has been safely protected until one day, the strange elf took care of his soon-to-be-born wife with her cat husband and stole the precious artifact.

The king sent many people who thought they were qualified to look for this treasure in the jungle. As a result, these people were defeated after exposing all kinds of bad habits. The priest recommended the temple guard cat to complete this arduous task. The cat couple lived up to expectations and found the artifact goblet in the ever-changing elf forest.

Later, in recognition of their achievements and in order to preserve the only aristocratic lineage recognized by the elves in the world, they were closely guarded to keep their bloodlines pure. Cats guard their slim figure, beautiful appearance and lofty status, and only members of the royal family can keep them. Ordinary people can also enjoy the privilege of living with them when they are knighted or promoted to nobility. They are Siamese cats known as the mysterious treasures of the Forbidden City.
