I still think the Doctor Shelley looks nothing like a Siamese cat, to me they mostly look like Fennec fox with that sandy yellow fur and those large ears.
...Wtf? >_>
Please don't be toxic in my comment section, or you'll be banned from here. As for the original point, it's why she's addressed as a Siamese only in the beginning, and then never again. She used to be referred as such more as the novel progressed, but we've since changed that since the resemblance was... hardly there to begin with.
