They are so gorgeous! If you met lots and lots of them, I'll bet that you could find a sweet one. My son's cats are part Siamese, and they are a handful, but very dear. And very, very funny. They were rescue cats and lived in a cage until he adopted them at six months--they had to learn about jumping, and that they couldn't go through glass. Very fascinating.

A gentler cat in that general direction is the Burmese (http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/burmese.html)--I think. I haven't known a lot of them. They may have softer voices, at least. But the intelligence and humor of the Siamese, as well as their elegant grace, would make it worth the effort to keep up with their energy! Especially if you feel a kinship.

Are they more common in Thailand? I never know if those breeds really relate to the countries they are named for.
