About Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
