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’ve had Siamese cats my whole life. I currently am owned by two, a lynx point and a seal point. Both 14 years old, which shocked the new vet the other day because of how healthy and young they look and act. They are absurdly spoiled with very expensive food! And still have energy to spare. Complete love bugs and purr machines!
But I will definitely say, Siamese cats are not for everyone. The first Siamese I got as an adult (I had them since an infant) was given to me because his original owner couldn’t handle the energy. Just watch Lady and the Tramp and witness the destruction those two Siamese cats do to their owners house! Obviously they riders in animators had Siamese cats!
