Of course, everyone wants to have a cat without defects or problems. But even bred cats are not always perfect. We are going to explain typical mistakes of Siamese breed which do not influence the health of the Thai cat and we are also going to illustrate anomalies which occur with all cats and must be corrected surgically without any influence on lifetime of the cat after the correction. Finally, you will find a few words about parasites and vaccinations.
