  This is a private and non-profit website for those who are interested in studying the "Old-Style Siamese" cat, which is also known as Applehead Siamese or Traditional Siamese, once easily found during the mid-twentieth century. Nowadays it is very hard to find them in Japan. So our ultimate goal is to preserve the Old-Style Siamese in Japan. As we just began, first of all, we are currently gathering world wide infomation and making the collection of useful links to share required and necessary knowledge of the Old-Style Siamese, since Japanese information is very limited.
 
  First time visitors please take a look at "About this site" and "Consideration in contact with the breeders".
 
  The Old-Style Siamese has such several names as Traditional Siamese, Applehead Siamese, Classic Siamese, Thaicat and Thai. Additionally, they are sometimes called by their nicknames in Japan, which are "Marugao-Shamu (Round-faced Siamese) " and "Tanu-Shamu (raccoon dog Siamese)". Though it is not popular in Japan, we would like to use the "Old-Style Siamese" ("OSS" for short) as standard name at this site, because it is globally used as common name, except some specific names of each cat club (e.g. Traditional Siamese, Thai).
