The first Siamese cat in America was reportedly given to Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes (the first lady to the nineteenth President of the United States) in 1878 by the U.S. Consul, David Stickles, living the rest of its days in the White House. In the 1900s, Siamese cats participated in various cat shows and today, occupies the top place among short haired cat breeds. Due to its popularity, the Siamese breed has been used to form many modern cat breeds including the Ocicat, Himalayan, Burmese, Tonkinese, Korat, Snowshoe, and myriad Oriental breeds (Oriental Shorthair, Oriental Longhair, Colorpoint Shorthair, Colorpoint Longhair, Balinese, and Javanese).

For example: The question "How many cats in America" can also be asked as: "How many cats are in America", "the number of cats in America" "What number of cats are in America" or What is the total number of cats in America?".
