Is a Siamese Cat Right for You?
Siamese cats are strikingly beautiful animals and that alone attracts many people to them. They are however different than a domestic cat breed. They are temperamental cats with a very spunky personality. The Siamese is also known to be very vocal, I know mine is. Siamese cats are extremely social and friendly and they really don’t discriminate against anyone! My Siamese cat sleeps with our big dogs and will follow anyone down the sidewalk for a nice afternoon stroll.
This breed can be high maintenance when it comes to attention. They need lots of it! Siamese cats are also very curious so they have no problem finding their own toys to play with whether it be up on a table or under your bed. Leaving toys out for them is a wonderful idea as they have no problem entertaining themselves as if someone else was throwing the toy around for them. These cats are elegant and intelligent and like to be involved in whatever is going on. Don’t be surprised if they become your little shadow. Good with children and other animals, these cats make wonderful family pets and companions.
You do need to brush them maybe twice a month to get rid of the excess hair and undercoat. This will keep the shedding down as well as skin irritation. If you get your Siamese as a kitten, I highly suggest getting them comfortable with bathing. This will make it much easier as they get older and stronger.
Siamese cats require lots of love and attention and really enjoy being spoiled. If you are looking for a cat to love that will make a great loyal companion for up to 18 years or so, the Siamese cat breed is perfect for you.
