More about Guardian of the Temple

A Siamese cat sits gracefully before an intricately detailed temple, surrounded by watercolor-like splashes.

According to legend, these cats were used to guard Buddhist temples and were considered very sacred. The fact that they were so highly prized is also proven by their native Thai name, wichien-maat, which means "moon diamond" in English.

According to one legend, a clowder of Siamese cats was told to stand guard over a royal golden goblet. Contrary to most beliefs about cats doing whatever they please, these Siamese cats took their duties seriously. They stared so hard at the goblet that their eyes crossed, and wrapped their tails around it so tightly that they became permanently bent.
