Q1. Where are you located?

A1. I am located near Rockford, Illinois. Off the I90. 

Q2. What does it mean to have a Health and Genetic Guarantee?

A2. I guarantee that the kitten is healthy upon pick-up. If there are any health issues during the time that the kitten is required to be seen by a veterinarian, the cost of  the medication expenses will be reimbursed.  The Genetic Guarantee is valid  up to one year from the time that the Kitten was purchased. If a Genetic defect is found in the kitten, I required a full veterinarian documentation and upon confirmation of such documentation, the kitten will be replaced by a kitten of equal value.

Q3. What happens if I fail to have my kitten examined within the four day period after it is picked up?

A3. The Health and Genetic Guarantee becomes activated if the Kitten is fully examined by a veterinarian within the Four day period from the time of purchase. Failure to have the kitten examined will Null and Void your Health and Genetic Guarantee.

Q4. If my Health and Genetic Guarantee is made Null and Void, am I still required to have my kitten altered?

A4. Yes, you are still required to have your Kitten altered. It is an unconditional clause that will be stated clearly in your contract and cannot be changed under any circumstance. Once the contract is signed, it is a Legal Blinding Contract that can be used in a court of Law, if breached.  The Buyer is given a deadline of eight months to send me documentation of Alteration. Once proof is given , registration and pedigree papers will be released to the Buyer. If the Buyer fails to send me documentation, appropriate legal action will be taken.

Q7. What is  the cost of a Kitten?

A7. Price range depends on color of coat, the quality of eye color, registration, pedigree of parents, temperament and Length of Coat.

Q5. What should I feed my kitten?

A5. Every Siamese Royalty Kitten goes home with a Kitten Pack. It will include a kitten contract, picture(s), a gift, vouchers, food for your Kitten and information conveying appropriate methods for feeding and taking care of your kitten.

Q13. Should I make my veterinarian appointment before I pick up my kitten?

A13. Yes, make a veterinary appointment a day or two in advance, before you pick up your kitten. Be sure to arrange the appointment so that it is within the four-day time frame given, however, after the purchase of your kitten.

Q14. What kind of  litter do you recommend?  Is Clumping Cat Litter dangerous for my kitten/cat? Read Article: Clumping Clay Kitty Litters, A Deadly Convenience?

A14. I use Feline Pine or Wood Pallets. I find that both are hypoallergenic free and safe around cats/kittens. Kittens have a tendency to “eat” the contents found in the litter. This is a very unhygienic practice that can lead to many serious Feline diseases.  Wood Pallets are far more economical and can be purchased from “Farm and Fleet”, or other Hardware stores. Clumping Cat Litter is made from Sodium Bentonite which is designed to naturally swell 15 times its original volume. When a kitten “eats” the litter, it becomes expandable cement blocking the pumping and causing dehydration, preventing absorption of nutrients and fluids. Sodium Bentonite send dust particles into the air creating possible respiratory problems transferring Silica Quartz, a Cancer casing agent into your system as well as your kitten/cat.

Q11. Will my kitten be vaccinated and treated for worms and parasites?

A11. Yes. All of Siamese Royalty kittens are vaccinated with the HESKA vaccine. This is a Non-Adjuvant intranasal vaccine, eliminating the risk of inflammation at the injection site, which can cause VAS (Vaccine Associated Sarcoma) an aggressive Cancer Tumor that can kill cats.  Additionally all kittens are treated for Giardia and four types of worms that can effect your kitten.

Q12. When does my kitten need its next vaccine?

A12. No vaccines are required for the first year of the kittens life.

Q6. Will I get a discounted if I buy two kittens instead of one?

A6. If there is a discount, it will only be very minimal.   Added expenses are needed to keep two kittens healthily.

Q16. I just want a Pet and not a Show Cat. Is there is a difference in price?

A16. No, the price that you will be paying is for a pet only. Traditional Siamese cats are not shown in Cat Shows thorough out the States.

Q15. Do you offer a stud service?

Q17. At what age can my kitten go home?

A15. No, not under any circumstances. Siamese Royalty is a closed cattery.  There are  risks associated with stud servicing, including diseases, liabilities and other undesirable consequences which can negatively impact  the cattery and the Queen involved.

Q18. How do I go about being placed on the waiting list and is it free?

A17. Kittens leave the cattery for their new home at 12 weeks of age. There are potential problems that arise when a kitten  leaves home too early. Please read, “How Young is Too Young”

Q19. Why do you make your deposit non-refundable and will it come off the original amount of purchase?

A18. Yes, of course. You can contact me with your request via email or phone. Your name will be placed on a waiting list  and you will be contacted as soon as a suitable kitten is available.

A19. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is your commitment towards purchasing a (one) kitten. This helps to discourage non committed customers. Once the deposit is paid, the remaining balance owed will be the difference between the original price and the deposit.

Q20. What are some for the dangers that I need to protect my kittens from?

 

 

                

 

 

 

 

If you are presently feeding your cat “kibble” food, now is the time to make the switch to food that will keep your special feline friend healthy for the rest of its life. Cats are obligatory carnivores. They require nutrients found in meat for mandatory survival. Cats metabolism is perfectly equipped to digest meat in a 2 hour period, compared to the human metabolic period of 36-55 hours.  Their system is designed to extract  proteins and nutrients from meat in its raw state. Also, since cats are unable to break down complex carbohydrates, the practice of feeding your cat carbohydrates, which they can not utilize, may lead to many feline health problems.

 

Below I will be listing a number of well known feline diseases that are growing concerns throughout veterinarian clinics within our country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are varieties of  tartar-control cat foods that claim to improve the health of  the gums in cats. However, these foods contain high levels of processed carbohydrates and cellulose, wood derived indigestive fiber. Carbohydrates place an unnatural burden on a cats gastrointestinal tract. In the wild, felines benefit in a variety of ways from eating their prey.  For example, the cat gets abrasive action from the bone of its prey, facilitating a defense against a variety of gum diseases. This effect may be  duplicated if the cat is served a diet of meat that contains ground bone. Additionally, bone does not disintegrate and deposit carbohydrates in a cats teeth like kibble food does.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Pet Food industries began to expand, pet food companies were not  required to keep up with real life studies. Consequently, pet food companies seemed to neglect cats unique metabolic enginery, which was made to adsorb energy and nutrients from protein, not carbohydrates. Today's cats are eating kibble food filled with high pre-digestive carbohydrates with moderate levels of protein, usually derived from vegetables protein sources and little fat that cats desperately need. Pet companies add tons on corn, rice, wheat, oats, barely and other grains, even potatoes to meat to help bulk them up. Adding to the problem the over heating and pressure process during the extrusion, destroying the nutrients, enter in the cats bloodstream as sugar. Furthermore high levels of Carbohydrates are needed to help the mixture push through, that is fed into the extruder. Naturally cats would not eat grained-based foods, so potent enhancers/food additives, acidified yeast and salt coat the kibble food making it more palatable for cats to eat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sugars from processed carbohydrates found in kibble food flood the blood with sugar. The blood sugar is carried from the GI tract to the liver, alarming the pancreas by producing and secreting insulin to help lower the sugar levels, since high levels of sugar cause an  accumulation of fat in the body. Consequently, the cat that is on a high carbohydrate diet repeatedly receives surges of  insulin  that  the  feline  pancreas can not cope with. Many cats who are exposed to such an unnatural diet  become overweight and are exposed to added pancreatic stresses which they are not equipped to deal with, often resulting in diabetes. 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                        

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome is a not a definitive diagnosis, but rather the general process that occurs in the tissue of the gastrointestinal organs. IBD is an immune-reaction disease probably caused by foods. Food plays  the major stimulant to clause this allergic reaction, since food is the major substance found in the stomach and intestines.  Therefore diet plays a large role in the management of IBG. Cats with IBD are reacting to many unnatural ingredients found in kibble food, such as artificiality and over processed commercial food.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Urine of the cats/carnivores is acid based (pH below 7.4). Kibble food with a high carbohydrate content cause very high alkaline urine levels (pH above 7.4) which lead to inflammation of the Urinary Tract. Dry kibble cat foods also provide very little moisture. The natural prey, however, contains 75 to 80 percent moisture. Originally cats have a low-drive because of their origins. Thus, kibble-food-fed-cats are usually dehydrated and their urine is very concentrated. The unnatural high concentration of minerals and other compounds found in the urine, along with the high alkaline levels leads to UTD.  A raw meat based  diet, which result in natural acid pH is more dilated. These conditions do not allow the formation of crystal and stones, eliminating possible inflammation in the Urinary Tract.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hepatic Lipidosis, also known as HL, is the condition of Liver dysfunction caused by  the accumulation of fat in the cells and tissue of the Liver. Naturally this fat clogs the liver which in turn leads to failure of the liver’s normal function. Most cats with HL are overweight. Again we are reminded of the importance of a carbohydrate-free diet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Skin allergies, IBD, Stomatitis, Asthma, and allergic Otitis are multiple manifestations of the same basic process and are often triggered by the same allergy-causing substances. Allergies are often reactions to food.  Kibble and canned foods with carbohydrates  are the most likely culprits, contributing to allergic skin diseases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A raw meat diet can correct all of the problems that are caused by commercial kibble foods. Many of the serious illnesses discussed earlier include Obesity, Diabetes, Urinary Tract Disease, IBD, Feline Allergies, Asthma and Tartar Control. I have personally observed a greater improvement in overall health and size of the kittens since implementing a raw meat diet. Queens are healthy, strong , robust and continue to have excellent body composition. They maintain steady weight gain throughout pregnancy, producing more lactation  than seen in previous pregnancies, with no weight loss during and after the nursing period. Cat’s waste is almost odorless. A cat’s system is design to extract  proteins and nutrients from meat in its raw state. Cats are unable to break down complex carbohydrates. The practice of feeding your cat carbohydrates, which they can not utilize, leads to many Feline Health Problems. ~Further Resources to read: Elizabeth M. Hodgkins, DVM, Esq.

Q3. Should I be concerned about meat contaminations found in a raw meat diet?

Q5. Why is Taurine so important for my Cat?

Q24. I’m thinking of buying two kittens, I am worried that my Kitten/Cats will show less affection and loyalty towards me or my family members.

Q21. Will a Long Haired Siamese cat shred more hair than a Shorted Haired Siamese?

Q23. Is it true that the Siamese is a hypoallergenic cat and are better for people who suffer from allergies, including Asthma Suffers?

Q22. I would like to buy litter mates. Which pairs are better suited?

Q25. Why is declawing so detrimental  to cats?

A20. Kittens are very similar to toddlers, they love to explore and typically taste and chew anything that can fit in their mouth, especially during their early months of teething. With that said, be cautions  with electrical leads that can cause an electric shock. Other misdemeanors are rubber bands, tape and strings of wool, that can be swallowed and  not easily passed through the bowel tract.  Be prepared to keep your bathroom door closed, until your kitten matures sufficiently. Also, since the toilet paper may undergo a series of abuses, often resulting in the roll shredded into many pieces, or in case your kitten falls into the toilet bowel, it may be wise to remember to keep the bathroom areas out of bounds so far as cats are concerned.  Also, keep cardboard,  toxic cleaners, aerosol cans and other poison in an area that your kitten can not access. 

A21. No. Actually the Long Hair Siamese (Balinese) shred less than the Short Haired. This is what makes the Long Haired Siamese so unique when compared to other long Haired Cats, including  Ragdolls, Himalayans, and Persians which continuously shred. Unlike these breeds, the Long Haired Siamese hair is considerable shorter. Body fur is typically around 1 inch long.  The tail is usually very bushy, however.

A22. The general rule of thumb is to never pair two females cats together. Their mood swings make them generally more incompatible when mixed together. A male and a female or two males make more suitable pairs.

Q23. Yes, generally speaking. It is said that allergy suffers report less allergic reaction to both the Siamese & Balinese Breed than other Shorthaired and Longhaired Cats. Despite popular beliefs, it is the protein excreted in feline salvia and skin glands that bring about an allergic reaction, not the cat dander itself. The Siamese Cat excrete feline salvia at a lower molecular weight, reducing the likelihood of an allergic reaction. Additionally, the Siamese/Balinese Cat have a different genetic hair structure, which produce less of the allergen that humans are allergic to.

A24. The Siamese breed is famously known for their ability to show consistent undying affection toward their human owners.  No other breed surpasses the Siamese in its ability to communicate love for human beings.  Paradoxically, the more intelligent they seem to be, the more they depend on their owners for company.  With that said, while they may be content with “cat company” during the day, while you may be away, they  prefer the interaction of humans. Humans make the Siamese cat feel secure and consequently their  loyalty is reserved for their owners.  In this sense, the Siamese cat acts more like a dog than a cat.

A25. Declawing is a painful and serious surgery that should not be taken lightly. A cat without claws is one without self-defense, leaving it defenseless against their predators,  psychologically speaking.  Physically mutilating the joints of your cat’s “toes”, can change a cat mentally. Their personality and disposition may completely alter, possibly making the cat more aggressive or more withdrawn. The potential side effects resulting can creating the opposite affect that declawing was intended for. The claws help the cat to establish proper balance during walking, running, springing, climbing and stretching. Claws help exercise the foot muscles. Additionally, cats use their claws to scratch their bodies with. Like all surgeries, there are associated complications that include pain, permanent damage to the radial nerve, hemorrhaging, unhealed bone chips, painful re-growth of deformations, chronic back and joint pain as leg and back muscles weaken.

Q27. Is it true that kittens socialized from an early age grow into well adjusted Cats?

A27. Socialization is a an imperative process that we apply for proper kitten rearing.  The first early stages of a kitten’s life are most important in terms of preparing a kitten for human bonding. Socialization is necessary if we are to see a kitten learn to trust and love humans.  Consequently, the integration of these skills are carried into adulthood, which have a lasting effect on the personality of the cat  To neglect socialization at an early stage of a kitten’s life can have irreversible repercussions, which range from nervousness, feral behavior and a general fear of humans. Properly handled, a kitten will form positive associations with you, and be a friend to you for life. Like clay in your hands, molding  their personalities can be for better or worse.  In addition to handling the kittens myself, the sphere of handlers include my four children who interact with the kittens on daily basis and are trained in the art of kitten socialization. This helps kittens to learn to trust all humans since they seems to generalize the experience, trusting and warming to their new owners almost immediately.  Socialization of cats facilitates the development of  proper brain simulation which is said to help develop a cats intelligence.

A5. Taurine is an essential dietary nutrient for cats that are destroyed during the process of cooking. Uncooked meat stabilize and  contain double the amount of Taurine which is not found in cooked meat. Further studies show, as outlined in the study carried out by Dr. Pottenger’s Cats, cooked meat destroys this important nutrient. Taurine deficiency may cause blindness, myocardial failure, immune responsiveness, the ability to maintain feline pregnancy, desorbing or aborting fetuses, still born, low weight births and other neurological symptoms. Deficiency of Taurine occur after periods (e.g. Five Months up to two years) Please read the benefits of Taurine in a Feline’s Diet.

A6. Yes, in fact the Raw Meat Diet is suitable for all stages of a cats life. A kitten can be given the raw meats as early as five weeks during the weaning process.

A4. There are two recipes for the raw meat diet. Feline Pride’s Raw Meat Diet - boneless and with bones. To make the boneless diet, you will need turkey mince purchased from Aldi or chicken mince and supplements.  Please read Raw Meat Diet Recipe with and without Bones.  If you choose to make the raw meat diet with Bones you will need a powerful meat grinder that can grind bones. I use Tasin TS-108 for best results. Supplements added to the raw meat can be purchased from iherb.

A3. No, in the wild cats hunt and kill their prey. They eat their food raw. Their stomach enzymes help dissolve bad bacteria. Bacteria is destroyed by the high acidic stomach juices, and what little goes through does not have a chance to grow and cause problems because of the efficiency and speed that a cat is able to process meat. Again we see the parallel between a healthy natural diet contributing to a cat’s healthy  nervous system and immune system. Above all, when handling raw meat,  remember to  practice good hygiene and common sense, as you would with your own family.

 

A2. No, a cat’s stomach is very acidic and their intestinal tract is very short. This enables the meat to be digested and passed through their body very quickly, not giving enough time to cause problems. It takes 12 hours for a cat to digest kibble food which causes an excess/multiple of parasites, contrary to what we have been lead to believe. See below the effects that cooked meat have on cats. The research was conducted by Dr Francis Pottengen. Additionally it only takes cats 2 hours to digest raw meat, which contain 80% water, making the process very quick.  The diet remains frozen and served immediately after the meat is thawed. Offer your cat food  after no more than 30 minutes and dispose of anything that is left behind. Never thaw the raw meat Diet in the microwave.  However, a healthy cat with a healthy immune system is able to expel and fight of  parasites and other diseases.

A1.There are number of  wholesalers online where you can purchase an already made raw diet. Here are a few:Only Natural Pet Store, Feline Pride and Natures Variety. My favorite is Feline Pride, which contains chicken, whole chicken bones, chicken liver and heart, along with supplements that cats desperately need. ~ Never use the microwave to defrost the Raw Meat Diet with.~

Q6. Is it safe to give my kitten the Raw Meat Diet?

Q4. I am ready to make my cat the Raw Meat Diet, where can I find the recipe?

Q1. I’m thinking of changing my cat’s food from kibble food to a raw meat diet. Where can I buy it from?

Q9. I already have cats in my  home. Do I need to isolate my kitten (s) away from my other cats?

A9. Yes, the first two weeks that your kitten initially arrives home. It is better to gradually introduce a kitten to his/her new home, especially if you already have another cat or dog,  by  placing your new kitten in a quite room where he feels less threatened. It is also important to screen your kitten away from other animals to avoid the threat of catching any illness.

Q8. I’m interested in a buying a short haired kitten, of a specific sex and color, from a Long and Short haired breeding pair. What are my options if the only kitten(s) available from that litter, that matches the sex and color I had requested, is Long Haired?

A8. You will be given two options. You can  forward your deposit to the next litter and wait until the right kitten comes along  or take the Long Haired kitten that matches your specific taste in sex and color. If you choose the latter option it will be necessary to pay  extra  (see Q7) since it is a Long Haired kitten.

Q2. Should I be concerned about parasites found in a raw meat diet?

Q26. I’ve decided to buy a kitten, but I am still interested in declawing my cat/kitten.

A26. If you are still adamant about declawing your cat/kitten after reading Dr. Christianne Schelling article on  Declawing and Jackie Bell If you love your Cat don’t Declaw you will be denied the opportunity of  purchasing a kitten. If, upon purchasing a kitten,  your  intention is not to declaw your cat/kitten but you then at a latter point change your mind, your contract will become null and void. Please read Q4 outlining terms and conditions regarding a null and void contract. There is an alternative to declawing. Solve your cat’s scratching problems with Soft Paws.

Q10. How will my Siamese cat/kitten interact with other Non-Siamese cats?

A10. While a Siamese cat of either sex will share their home with other Non-Siamese cats, they are not known for getting along with other cats. Due to their intelligence and possessive nature, they often rule the roost making other cats feel insecure.  Although each Siamese has its own unique personality, many choose to avoid mixing Siamese and Non-Siamese cats together as they tend to get along best with their own kind.
