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
Do pure siamese usually have health issues? I didnt know that :( goodluck making your kitty a lapcat haha. My new girl was.. then when she finally got to bond with my existing cat, he taught her HIS WAYS. Now theyre both the same and hate sitting on any body part. Goddamn you cat.
No idea what percentage Siamese our girl is (someone abandoned her litter), but she's a flame point. Her entire life she's had a stuffed up/runny nose on and off.
That could be herpes, it's extremely common in cats (most shelter cats are carriers) and the symptoms usually involve runny nose, sneezing, or watery eyes.
