message: Chester in to 2016 series Bunnicula is a Siamese cat and Squeak from Pound Puppies is also one. Can these be on this page?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:4700:7640:3D23:8CFA:8890:429D (talk) 21:26, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Wichien-Maat means "moon diamond", not gold diamond as the article stated. You can check yourself by searching for Wichien-Maat on Google for the definition and also the Wikipedia page- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_(cat) lists Wichien-Maat meaning Moon Diamond as well.--99.177.250.140 (talk) 01:24, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure Ragdolls should be added to the list of breeds derived from Siamese.  Most of them have some form of colorpoint coats.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.54.250.11 (talk) 19:15, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

message: There are several pictures of cats currently on the page, which are labeled as Siamese, but are actually breeds derived from Siamese. Most are Tonkinese. Jkhamlin (talk) 19:28, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The origin of the Siamese cat breed is actually from Siam, not Thailand. This should be corrected.

replies: text: Okay, just looked at the Siam article. An older name for Thailand is Siam? I... couldn't believe that. --Security Shield (talk) 01:36, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

message: The article states of the head: 'forming a perfect triangle from the tip of the nose to each tip of the ear' - what precisely is a 'perfect triangle'? Three points will always form a triangle, I fail to see what would qualify it as 'perfect'. Does it mean symmetrical? Equilateral?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.200.27.88 (talk) 01:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The lead image is not of a lilac-point it is a lilac tabby-point cat. Stripes are quite visible on the tail and, though faint, the tabby 'M' shape can be seen on the cat's forehead. Urselius (talk) 12:09, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead image caption wrong 

message: I removed the third sentence as it contradicts the second. If anyone has any information it can be clarified or it can be left as is.
1. Burmese is a breed of domesticated cats descended from a specific cat, Wong Mau, who was found in Burma in 1930 by Joseph Cheesman Thompson. 
2. She was brought to San Francisco, where she was bred with Siamese. 
3. While technically not derived from Siamese, the breed was considered a form of Siamese for many years, leading to crossbreeding. (removed portion)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamep4 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Description of Burmese, Contradiction 

message: This article seems to use both "color" (ie US English) and "colour" (UK English) frequently. There is no template telling us which variant of English to use, but the original version of the article uses "Colour", several times, so I believe that this article should be in British English and will change the spellings accordingly.  
Background: I am not a cat-lover - though they are better than dogs - and I don't usually edit in this area, but my other half is seriously stuck on today's "Redactle" puzzle, even though he's got the second word of the title hours ago and just can't think what how to fill the blank in "XXXXXXX cat"! But he pointed out that both "color" and "colour" are in the article, making life even more difficult. I solved it in 93, with guess 92 being "cat" and 93 "siamese", but he's not got there yet after a couple of hundred goes, with "cat" some time back.
I don't know whether there are any special editing conventions covered by WikiProject Cats, but inconsistency is a Bad Thing in articles and I'm going to go for it. If there's some good reason to leave it as is, or to use US English, someone can always revert me. (And if you haven't tried Redactle I can thoroughly recommend it as an intriguing daily puzzle).

replies: text: Done. I should perhaps have waited a couple of hours until this was no longer the current target of the puzzle, as it's quite discombobulating when it changes while you're solving it, but these are only very minor changes. I left Colorpoint Shorthair as it's a breed name, but changed Bicolor cat (piped it, rather than use the redirect), as it's not a specific breed but a description, comes under "Felinology" in the template, so seemed appropriate to use the standard variant of English.

replies: text: I note that the article uses DMY dates, so is already angled towards British usage. PamD 14:34, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The "colour" spelling overwhelmingly dominates, so I think this should probably normali[s|z]e to the British/Commonwealth spelling. I see a couple of cases of -ize that would need to change to -ise to conform.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  22:33, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
