Why are they called Meezers?

[Kazz]

Okay I have to ask this question why are Siamese and Oriental cats called Meezers?

Karen (yes I know I am dense):roll:

Karen, I think it's because they're SiaMESE. hence meezers...

Yes Eileen is right, it's just a play on the end of the word Siamese. Orientals are sometimes called Ori's ;)
