Traditional Siamese or Thai
In June 2000
the
workgroup
of traditional Siamese breeders and -fanciers was instituted. This group
aims at protecting and preserving the Siamese cat as it was generally
known before 1960. In order to attain this the group has developed a
breeding standard in Dutch and a breeding plan.
The group provides
information to people who are interested in the traditional Siamese and
mediate for people who want to buy a traditional Siamese kitten or cat.
In order to discern
the traditional Siamese from the modern Siamese with its specific, ultra
slim body type, the Dutch Cat breeder association "Neocat" has
decided to name these cats as " Thai" .
The Thai is seen as
a separate breed and they have their own breed description.
More and more people like to preserve and promote the traditional
Siamese or Thai in
Holland ( and other country's )
The workgroup of registered breeders is
recognized and supported by the
Siamese and Oriental Shorthair Club (S.O.K.)
in the Netherlands.
Healthiness and Character of the traditional Siamese is the most
important and first starting-point. After this we shall bred traditional
Siamese with the best externals to get cats conformity the Breed
description. We intent not to use other breeds than the Old-Style
Siamese to keep the traditional Siamese pure and characteristic.
All breeders are
member of the Dutch cat breeder association "Neocat" and
endorse the regulations of this organization. The workgroup is
recognized and supported by the Siamese and Oriental Shorthair Club (S.O.K.)
in the Netherlands.
Fanciers and owners of
traditional Siamese
Fanciers and owners of the traditional Siamese without cattery name or plans
to breed, are also welcome on this sit'.
Also it isn't necessarily to be an
owner or to realize a
litter in the future. But when it is a wish to do that,
they can count on the support of the other members of this group.

In 2006 we had 30 litters with 116 kittens
in the WTSN. We avoid inbreeding and in at least five generations
there are no double names in the pedigree. Also the blood lines are from different parts of the world.
