There are many legends about Siamese cats, one of which is that a Siamese princess was afraid of losing her ring when she was bathing in a stream, so she wanted to find a safe place to put it.

As she was looking around, she noticed her favorite cat with its tail up in the air, so the princess put the ring on top of its tail.

From then on all the Siamese cats always had their tails up high, and some people said that this was used to put the princess's ring on.

Two Siamese cats guarded the temple day and night, and no one was allowed to go near it except the priests and the king.

Only when the female Siamese cat gave birth did they leave the temple for a day, so as not to dishonor the temple.

Until one day, the strange elves stole a precious artifact while the male Siamese cat was taking care of the female Siamese cat who was about to give birth.

The genie declares that this is a test for the kingdom, and that only noble, loyal and beautiful beings will be able to reclaim the artifact, or else the world will lose the ancient artifact forever.

So the king sends many people who think they are qualified to search for the treasure in the forest, and they all fail.

In the midst of the kingdom's distress, the priests recommended Siamese cat, the temple guardian, to accomplish this difficult task.

The two Siamese cats live up to their name and find the artifact in the ever-changing Faerie Forest.

Having brought the artifact back to the temple, the male cat returns to the temple to inform the priests, while the female cat stays behind to guard the artifact from the forest.

After the male cat left, the female cat sat among the overgrown leaves and branches, and in order to protect the artifact intact, she bent her tail and wrapped it around the center of her tail.

Four nights passed, and when the male returned to the female, he found himself the father of five lovely little babies.

And the she-cat, who had given birth to the babies, still did not forget her duty as a guardian, and kept wrapping her tail around the artifact, so that from then on the end of her tail was always curved.

And interestingly, the tails of her five babies were also curved, and because of the great deeds of this pair of Siamese cats, they were closely guarded to ensure the purity of their lineage.
