May 22, 2022 0 Comments

I love Siamese cats but I will tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth with honest information about Siamese cats!

Let’s start with the “good” facts about the Siamese.

Siamese can be loyal, obsessively loyal. Siamese cats are intelligent, although there are a few exceptions (or maybe it’s just pretend) they seem to understand you even if they choose to be a little deaf at times. Siamese kittens and cats have character, there are no bland and boring cats here. Siamese cats give and expect to receive. All the time.

A Siamese cat has an easy-care coat, so it does not require long and expensive visits to the beauty salon. Others even appreciate having their nails done, a kind of ‘caticura’. You can even buy nail protectors in some fun designer colors, perfect for indoor Siamese twins and to protect your furniture.

Siamese are beautiful and a joy to watch. Certainly better than watching TV. This cat knows that he is special and is happy to bestow some of his special aura on a special person. Your Siamese will love keeping you company. And keep him company. And again. The Siamese kitten or cat loves warmth more than most cats, preferably in your bed if they get half the chance.

Are you ready? The ‘bad’ Siamese cat facts

That Siamese loyalty may be more akin to that of a dog than a cat. Evil? If you’re the type of person who hates being smothered, you may be better off with a less demonstrative breed. Siamese cats are waiting to help you write your great American novel (Chapter 1: kjf*&^%#^9ojn3o9iunf93). Don’t expect to hide in the bathroom for some peace and quiet – it’s their favorite room and they refuse to be left out anyway. Period.

Siamese are smart. Don’t expect your brilliant Siamese to wait for you to come home before getting naughty. They need to keep that brain engaged, and if you don’t leave them plenty of reading material or some good birding movies, your Siamese (even a Siamese kitten) will find fun wherever it can. I have seen amazing flower arrangements and indoor gardens created by a bored Siamese. Get ready to spend time playing.

I have met many quiet Siamese, but when they are loud, boy are they loud! If you bring home a spoken version, meditation and mind-over-matter lessons might be in order.

When they are bad, they are very bad.

The ‘ugly’ side of Siamese cats? Facts can be deceiving and no Siamese is all bad, although some come close.

A jealous cat? Yes, so it is better that you do not bother your Siamese or you will be the recipient of the anger for as long as your cat decides to punish you. To speed up the forgiveness process, small snacks can eventually be accepted. And please, never coddle another cat when your Siamese is within earshot. Long after you have completely forgotten about it, an ambush of historic proportions will be mounted on the surprised rival for your affections.

Lest I embarrass my ‘butter doesn’t melt’ writing partner, I’ll stop here, but I’d be delivered if I didn’t briefly mention dubious trash habits, a certain cunning, and a tendency toward Attilla the Hun-like dominance.

Please don’t let these little details put you off. Yes this Siamese cat information hasn’t put you off, then you can be one of the right and special people for whom a Siamese is a welcome addition to the family. I certainly couldn’t be without one.
