My Siamese cats, Tytan and Molly came from a breeder. Before I tell you this, our cats are INDOOR so OUTDOOR Siamese may be different. I think Siamese make GREAT pets. They are hyper, and very good for families, BUT make sure you get them at a young age if you have children. At a young age they can adapt to young children. Our Siamese cats are VERY unique, Tytan squeaks and weighs 15 pounds, I know that's a lot, but Molly weighs as much as a regular Siamese, at 9 pounds. She is shy toward visitors and runs away, but with our family she is kind and sweet. Unlike most Siamese, Molly only meows when she wants to play. Tytan, well he squeaks when we pick him up. Another unique thing about them is Tytan is VERY tolerant, and as a fact a visitor CAN stick their head into his chubby stomach and shake their head, and he will just start purring. Now, these are MY cats and yours may be different. They can live in 1 story houses and probably in an apartment.
No, Siamese cats cost a lot because they are show cats. Find out more at furfest.beep.com
the siamese. they get a lot of attention.
Cats require a lot of attention compared to other pets because they are social animals that need mental stimulation, playtime, and interaction with their owners to stay happy and healthy. Cats also have specific needs such as grooming, feeding, and litter box maintenance that require regular attention. Neglecting these needs can lead to behavior problems and health issues in cats.
Yes it take a lot of discipline though
The ancestors of Siamese cats come from Thailand. Modern Thai "alley cats" are very similar to the Siamese breed, and were bred with the Siamese to produce the "Traditional/Old-Style Siamese", otherwise known as the Thai cat.
I think that most cats will hiss at another animal or cat if they were not brought up with another animal or cat. My cat is not Siamese, and she hisses at other animals and other cats, so I think that it is normal behavior for all cats, not just Siamese cats.
All cats are different. Some cats, such as the Tonkinese, are quiet, and only meow when something is seriously wrong. The Siamese just happens to be one of those cats that just talks for the sake of it.
you need to bathe them alot because if you don't, they get mats really bad. Persians sleep ALOT and don't really need that much attention.
This depends on their personality. It has been said that Siamese cats can be very extrovert and love to explore and be generally active, although some are very calm and quite cats. Depending on their personality, a cat will deal with how it interacts with another cat differently.
Yes, cats are known for their independence as they typically do not require constant attention or frequent interaction with their owners compared to dogs. They are more self-sufficient when it comes to grooming, potty training, and entertaining themselves.
Cats meow a lot to communicate with humans, express their needs or desires, seek attention, or indicate they are feeling stressed or anxious.
They don't, at least not any more than other cats. On light-colored cats, eye secretions are more visible. My white Domestic Shorthair seems to be crying just as often as my Siamese. The reason that cats in general have watery eyes is that unlike humans, they don't blink very often, so this is how they keep their eyes moist.
