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 been wanting to get another cat and have always wanted a Siamese because I've heard they're so great but I haven't been able to find one in a shelter and I don't want to shop for one.
Both my Siamese are rescues, they were littermates/brothers. If you contact various shelters and put your name on the list that you want Siamese they will eventually call you. It took me a year of waiting but one day I got the magical call! I went down there and sat in the middle of the room surrounded by Siamese kittens, and I let them pick me. I knew I wanted outgoing and friendly so I decided the first two who came over and were interested I would take. And that’s what I’ve got… One of them is currently curled up on my shoulder, and the other is sitting behind my head on the back of the sofa!
