The Empress Rules the Pink Palace with One Blue Glance
Ice-blue eyes, a gold crown and a cloud of pearly fur: the empress takes her seat among the roses. A blue point Siamese gazes calmly out, her pale face shaded in soft slate and her fluffy white chest rising from a thick ermine collar dotted with black. Her robe is rose-colored brocade stitched with golden flowers and a jeweled brooch. Behind her, swathes of pink drapery and golden flourishes soften the background into a dreamy haze.
Everything in the painting is soft and gentle, even her stare. It feels as if she has already forgiven you for whatever it is you were about to do.
Siamese cats are famously social and talkative. They often follow their people from room to room, offer opinions in a loud voice and love being involved in whatever you are doing. The blue point version has a cool grey-blue shading, caused by the same temperature-sensitive pigment that gives all pointed cats their darker ears, faces, paws and tails. Siamese tend to be smart and active, so they benefit from interactive toys, window perches and company. If you spend long hours away, a feline friend may help keep them happy. Your vet can advise on dental care and routine checkups.
This empress needs no army. One blue glance across the room, and the whole court finds themselves fetching her favorite toy.
