The Siamese cat has great sense ability and can easily sense your every mood from sadness to
sickness. They will quickly jump on your lap to comfort you through tears or sadness by rubbing
their head on your face and licking your tears away. They will lay next to you for hours comforting
you with their warmth and purrs, never leaving your side. The Siamese cat loves children, especially
if they were brought up with children. They have a special understanding and gentleness towards
children, retrieving their claws when ever they are around them. They are loyal companions that
your child will never forget, also making them entertaining playmates! Many dog owners has taken
the Siamese into their prejudices heart. They have been known to wait patiently and come running,
like a dog, to the door when their human family returns home. The Siamese acclimates well with
dogs, especially if raised with them, they will become lifelong friends and will grieve at the loss of
their friend. The Siamese have been known to protect with puffing tails, and flying claws their
small or tiny dog companion against a larger and aggressive dog that would try to harm them.
Due to the fact that the Siamese cat is an intelligence and less dependent breed, consequently need
a healthy level of human or kitty interaction. The lack of human or kitty interaction can lead to a
defensive fight or flight survival mentality, depression or a lack of appetite which can lead to
destructive habits. The Siamese cat typically has a very loud cat voice, and is very vocal, with a
high range of sounds. Do not get a Siamese cat if you want a docile and quiet cat. They are
demanding and require proper discipline when they are young, very similar to that of a puppy. Only
choose the Siamese if you are prepared to be patient and willing to share your lap, your bed covers,
and do not mind their endless mischievous/curious nature along with energy that gets into everything.
The Siamese is devoted, that carries a large capacity for love. The Siamese brings joy and laughter
in a never-ending adventure. You are never bored with a Siamese . . . EVER!
The Siamese Cat
My love for the Siamese cat started as a young girl when we acquired some seven Siamese cats from
a Breeder, a close friend who lived next door. Since then my love for these beguiling bundles of fur
have been a large part of my everyday life. Although the Siamese may not be for everyone, most
people who have owned this dog like cat at some point in their life can attest that there is no cat like
the Siamese. They steal your hearts with their uncanny ability to connect to their owners. Siamese
cats are famously known amongst Cat fanciers and lovers, for their clear vivid deep blue eyes which
they use to expressively communicate with and enchant the hearts of anyone who looks their way.
The gaze may be alert or full of cheekiness. Being a natural breed, the Traditional Siamese cat has
very few health problems and live a long healthy life, very often living into their late teens or early
twenties. Their dog-like intelligence may often cause you to think they are humans. They will
surprise you, from creatively getting your attention, by nibbling on your ears, turning on lights,
facets and opening doors, even knowing which way to turn the door knob using their paws. The
Siamese is a social companion that needs proper stimulation from humans or interaction from other
cats. If such a socially enriched environment does not exist they may resort to mischievous
behaviour and other social problems may result from the inevitable boredom. Although the Siamese
is a cat, don't be easily fooled. These creatures, behave more like young puppies. As kittens, they
require proper training and discipline. Firm boundaries need to be established if they are to grow
into well adjusted behaved cat. The Siamese cat can be trained to play fetch or even to walk on a
harness. Their love for heights will quickly make them shoulder buddies, riding for long periods and
enjoying the aerial tour. Providing them with a good, tall, sturdy cat tree or somewhere high to perch
will provide your beloved feline a safe place to take a nap or to survey the area.
Siamese cats are expressive talkers yet only talk to you when they feel they have something
important to say. If they are in a good mood, than expect great levels of affection, but if they are
in a bad mood, well that's another story. They love to follow you around the house, watching you
work, moving from room to room close to your heels. No other cat has a mind of its own like the
Siamese. Like Dogs they are very territorial of their space and towards their favourite human of
which they choose.

I am often asked the question whether two or littermates are better than one. While humans can
offer a great deal of love and nurturing, there is a special type of feline companionship and
interaction that felines crave for that cannot be replicated by human beings. As this principle
equally applies to us humans, they need their own kind. Their bond is very apparent when you
watch them sleeping together or grooming their faces, or protecting each other against other
enemies or grieving the loss of their kitty companion. What about a new kitten to help an older
cat endure the loss of their old companion? There is a special bond between two older cats that is
equal to two elderly people who have lived together for many years. When their buddies leaves,
they feel completely lost with grieve, often giving up. Like Grandparents, their bodies are old and
weary from age that once were vibrant able bodies. They prefer to watch their grandchildren do
those activities they once were able to do. This is the same for older cats, they are no longer
physically youthful or mentally able, but love to watch little ones run, flip and play.
However, in the context of older cats, I suggest two kittens instead of one. While the older cat
may receive the mental stimulation and entertainment they need, very much like going to the
movies, kittens needs equal simulation from another kitty of equal energy and the need for close
bondship. I understand, for varies reasons, adopting two at the same time is not always an option,
however, it is always better to pair them within the first or second year of their life, while they
are still young. The other question I often get asked is which gender makes a better match. In
my opinion, the general rule of thumb is to avoid female with female, unless they are littermates,
or nursery mates, or born with 2-3 months apart. I encourage, and because I feel strongly that
pairs are better than one, I offer a $100 off "Buddy Discount", from the original total price.
The perils of Backyard breeders.
As breeder, I hear of many unfortunate poor breeding ethics, pet stores or individuals who
advertise in local papers, Hoobly or Craiglist selling supposedly "purebred registered cats". These
places are breeding grounds for backyard breeders and kitty mills. As mentioned previously on my
home page, there is vast difference between a "registered cat" in cat club and a purebred pedigree
cat. The later is legitimately registered internationally in a recognised cat registry. These two are
worlds apart. Additionally, I often receive calls from impulsive kitten buyers who need a kitten for
a special occasion or present. Buying a kitten that is ready to leave is not wrong in and of itself,
however, kittens are not toys that are simply purchased, without properly researching the breeder,
or that can be picked up from your local supermarket shelf. Often these buyers end up buying
kittens from backyard breeders because they acted on impulse or would rather take corners by
paying less. The kitten adoption process should be thought out carefully, since this will be a 18-20
year investment. Making such a decision could cost you more emotional heartache, and vet bills than
you bargained for.
Backyard Breeders tend to:
1. Sell kittens under 7-8 weeks of age.
2. Sell unregistered Siamese kittens with little to no pedigree knowledge. For this reason, the issue
of inbreeding can be of concern.
3. Motive for breeding: "fun", "good for kids", or by "accident".
4. Does not screen buyers and seldom refuses to sell, even if buyer is unsuitable.
5. Has purchased, at some point, a kitten deceitfully as a pet with no breeding rights, but is breeding
illegally against a contractual agreement.
6. Backyard breeders also tend to feed cheap cat food, and disregard the nutritional cost to their
kittens.
7. Ignorance of selective breeding goals and techniques, and lack of familiarity with the breed
standard of the type of cat being bred. Has no understanding or concern with genetics, pedigree
bloodlines, or hygiene breeding environment.
8. No concern for the future of individual kitten(s). Does not use limited registration option or
concern for spay/neuter contract to guard against the breeding of sub-standard kittens.
9. Sell multiple breeds of animals at a low cost.
10. Can not provide references from previous happy kitten buyers.
