It is difficult to say. Early Siamese cats that were imported from Thailand had a kink in their tails, and for many decades this trait, along with Siamese cats being cross-eyed, were seen as proof that a cat was indeed of pure Siamese breeding - especially in cat shows.
Today, this trait is now considered a flaw within the Siamese breed and has largely been bred out, although it still persists among street cats in Thailand. Siamese cats bought from reputable breeders should not have kinks in their tails due to careful breeding programs.

∙ 12y agoNot necessarily no. Even if the cat has Siamese in its bloodline, it should still not have a kink in its tail, unless the Siamese in question was recently imported or was of bad breeding.
Kinked tails in cats can be a mild deformity, or the tail could have been broken when the cat was young - a kink in the tail does not necessarily mean it is part Siamese.

∙ 11y agoIf you are referring to a kink in the tail, this is not common to the Siamese, and can occur in pretty much all other breeds. In most cases it is caused by injury to the cats when they were still kittens.

Can Siamese cats see color?
No, not likechameleons or anything of that sort. They can, however, have their fur get a little darker or change in color very slightly from the time they are kittens to maturity.

All cats can have small changes like this, its not just limited to the Siamese breed.
