Siamese cats are amazing. I'm on my second because the first had some genetic issues. We rescued him around 3-4 years old and got 4 good years with him. I knew something was up when he started spending even more time on my lap than usual (which was a lot) and seemed lower energy, kidney issues are common in them. Got my second about 9 months after he passed when one of my friends rescued a momma and 3 kittens. One didn't make it but the other 2 were strong and my current boy grew up into a big strong kitty. He isn't the lap cat my first one was (yet) but he's still sweet and loving even though he's a brat and a bit of a hellion when he gets worked up lol. Still just a big kitten when he gets going, I'm hoping because his momma was a tabby that he'll be healthier as well. My friend managed to snap a pic of the stray we're pretty sure is his dad, they look super similar lol
I have a flame point Siamese and he has the eyes and talkative traits of a Siamese but because he’s mixed with domestic he’s very chill. He’s 15 right now and still very lively and will talk all day and yell for food. But whenever you’re sitting or it’s bed time, he’s right there ready to cuddle up. Couldn’t ask for a better cat.
As someone who also has 3 flame point Siamese cats I am in need of pictures. My cats are the same way, they are so loud and talkative the people who live upstairs still can hear them clearly through the walls. They are pretty lazy, even for being 13years old. The thing I love most about them is how cuddly that is. Every night one lays on my head (and steals the pillow) and the other one lays under the blankets against my body and uses my chin/neck as her pillow. I will also add a cat tax, I just need to see your kitties!!!
I have a two year old Seal Point Siamese and the energy levels can be easily managed with some sort of outlet. We have a split entry in our house, and she loves to throw her toy mouse up and down the stairs and chase it. She will play fetch with herself and us for hours. It also helps she's best friends with our hyper miniature schnauzer. Those two will wrestle non-stop.
I got my young Siamese male a kitten to help manage his energy and it worked like a charm. They wrestle and chase at all hours. Granted that means I’m subjected to wrestling cats at 3:30 in the morning but that’s the price you pay!
Damn I’m thinking of getting my Siamese a kitten too! She’s so needy! I love it, but it breaks my heart when I can’t give her the attention she wants :(
I got my seal point kitten a puppy, now I have a Siamese hellion and a 90 lb Dane mix, both about 2.5 years old, who both cause me bodily injury on a semi-regular basis. But they do love wrestling and cuddling with each other (the cat usually wins, at which point he either humps the dog's neck or grooms his face and ears) so at least that's good I guess.
Eh, not all Siamese will be like that. My boy chilled out a lot by the time he was 5. He's 11 now, and he just sleeps, eats, and gets scritches. Occasional zoomies as required.
Yeah, I'm good, too. I foster kittens all the time and... I need a break. It's like you wake up one day and they learned how to defy gravity and climb walls overnight. I'm actually ignoring some kitten bullshit right now, hopefully they get tired soon.
Lovingly staring at my good boy who is keeping the couch warm. Good grown up kitty lol
Kind of late to the party, but I have a seal point Siamese that I have had since he was a kitten and now he's four. He is as chill as can be! Definitely depends on the cat, from my experience.
