2 BUNNIES & CAT BUNNY: DIEGO

I'd like to share with you, one of my 4 Siamese Cats; Diego. The Siamese cat is one of the oldest breeds to be introduced in the United States. It is often said that the breed was first seen outside their Asian home in 1884, when the British Consul-General in Bangkok, Edward Gould, brought a breeding pair of the cats, Pho and Mia, back to Britain as a gift for his sister, Lilian Gould. Lilian went on to co-found the Siamese Cat Club in 1901. However, in 1878, U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes received "Siam", a gift from the American Consul in Bangkok. This cat was also the first documented Siamese to reach the United States, and predates the Siamese's arrival in the UK by 6 years.
