Modern show Siamese have been bred to be extremely elongated, with bodies slender to the point of emaciation, and a Y-shaped head with an extremely long muzzle and extra-large 'batwing' ears. 

The traditional Siamese are much sturdier, with a round head and ears more in proportion to their

size.  Siamese cats often have a kink in their tails, because the original breeders saw that as a unique feature of the breed. 

In recent years the kinked tail has become a flaw and breeders have largely eradicated it from the Show Siamese.

Both breeds of Siamese have almond-shaped eyes and like all Oriental cats, they are extremely talkative and demanding of attention.  They often will engage themselves in crazy antics to get the attention of their people and often attach themselves to one human in a household. 

As they are wired for sound, they can meow loud enough to compete with fire and rescue equipment.  The Traditional Applehead Siamese are very people-oriented and intelligent. They are friendly, inquisitive and love to be constantly checking out what their is doing. 

 

Some Appleheads talk a lot, some are very quiet. The talkers just want you to answer them and remind them that you know they are there. 

Appleheads love attention and love to give attention and insist on being in the lime-light of  your affections. 

They will most likely end up by you or on you when it is their idea and they will leave when it is their idea also. They are very mellow; mellow and have calm temperaments.
