What everyone should know about the Siamese
Siamese cats are wonderful pets. Their big blue eyes and striking fur make them an instant hit. Their personality makes them unforgettable. Siamese can be different from other cats and it is important to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Siamese cats are loyal cats. These cats are likely to pick out one person in the household and think of that person as their own. No one else will. They need to know that this person is close to them. Siamese twins are likely to follow their person from room to room and sit on a lap as soon as the person is seated. They can be annoying this way.
Siamese love care. They want the attention of their only person. Siamese cats have been known to get depressed when their person is not around. If you are someone who travels a lot or has a busy job that keeps you out of the house, a Siamese may not be the cat for you.
Although Siamese love to sleep on your lap, they are active and athletic cats. They find perches in places that other cats would barely notice. They are nosy and intelligent, which means that if there is something they want to know, they will find out. Siamese twins are excellent at opening room and cupboard doors. They will walk on a leash. They’ll be out before the owner knows it, only to be discovered moments later when they announce their achievement.
The best toys for a Siamese are interactive toys. This stimulates their natural athletic ability as well as their need for attention. After playing with these cats for a while, the owners notice how strong they are. When they catch the toy, they can pull hard. Often, they don’t want to let go either.
The Siamese can be the most stubborn of cats. They have learned that not giving in gets away with it. Owners of a Siamese learn that a Siamese will continue to be a nuisance for more food long after the other cats have eaten and taken a nap. The Siamese will be the last cat to hear no or to get off the counter. They are also the cat that will continue to lie on the floor even when the vacuum pushes them to move.
Talkative is a word often used to describe these cats. They have many different meows, ranging from a soft chirp to the loud howl they are famous for. Owners learn to pick up the difference in vocalizations. While many of these cats are relatively quiet, if they decide they want to talk, they will do so incessantly.
Siamese cats are fun and playful. They know they are something special and they don’t hesitate to show it. Siamese cat owners often say that once you own a Siamese, you will never have another breed of cat. They are truly unique.
