Pros: They never leave you alone
Cons: They never leave you alone
True. And they learn how to open bedroom doors so they can wake you up.
Pros: they sleep on you at night
Cons: they sleep on you at night
Gotta love em
literally 😭
My son Doug in a nutshell❤ such a sweet boy, a love like no other 😂
There are no cons! My Siamese is the smartest most gentle cat I could ever ask for. She’s a queen 👑
Ikkkkk sameee😭😭💖💖💖
My x mother had a border cat but I suspect she was abused.
On the other I saw a Siamese kitten in Thailand the mother was black and white dad was black. The kitten is now a big solid boy and beautiful temperament. Unfortunately I couldn't bring him back to Australia.
My mezzer is better than yours🐱😁🐱😁
Same! 😁
Same 😻😻😻😻
Our Siamese was silent the first 7 years of his life. I would tease him and get him all worked up and he'd meow with ferocity. Then he found his voice and I think he had a vocabulary of about 65 words. I'd ask him how his day was, and he'd look me in the eyes and go on and on about his day. It came across as mostly complaints. He died at 15 two years ago and I still miss him.
bruh what?
My 20 year old siamese mix passed last week--and she was the absolute best. She was the most affectionate, sweet, and beautiful cat I've ever owned.
So sorry for your loss :(
@@FactsaboutCatsVideos thank you. I’m hoping her memory lives on by helping other shelter pets, as I’ve been donating and telling my friends to donate to the No-kill shelter I got her from 💕
I carry my cat's... new form with me to go on adventures together
Tho reminds me of a time where one of my moms cats got out and we unfortunately never found him his name was duke but a month or two later we found a kitten that resembled him a lot we named him toothless after the dragon kids movie I sometimes like thinking duke was reincarnated as toothless cause toothless was like a couple of months old
😼💘💔
They are wonderful cats. The only flaw they have is that you get too attached. I suffered too much when I missed mine.
So sorry for your loss :(
100% Agreed. I grew up with mine from when I was 3 years old all the way to when she passed away at 16, and I was 19.
I can say, without a doubt even today, that she was my best friend in the entire world and a day doesnt go by that I dont miss her, even now after 7 years.
She was my companion for over half of my life at that point, hell its still over half my life, and I couldnt have asked for a better one, she was by my side at all times and followed me everywhere in my house.
That can happen with all pet's I lost my dog 35 years ago I still miss her.
same here. Mine Thai cat lived for 23 years, its been 10 years since she passed but I still miss her so much.. she really loved me, with this pure type of love that human mostly doesn't even know
❤❤❤
My fur baby found me. He just randomly showed up in my yard on Easter Sunday.
He's given my family so much joy and love ❤️
that is so precious😊
I understand that people can use whatever terms they'd like, but I personally can't stand the term ''fur baby''. It's not a baby. It's a pet.
This is why I am terrified about my Suki missing, a random family said OMG you are so sweet and beautiful, I will keep you 😢
Agree FUR BABY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ because they are our baby’s and NOT A PET
My Siamese cat was with me for 19 years. He never ever cause problems, he was much like a baby pampered all his life. Where I live people may change or move to new places (renters that is) either May 1st or July 1st, so around July 2nd I heard a tiny little meow getting my newspaper, didn't think much about it. Later mid-afternoon, I decided to sit on my balcony to read a book, I heard more little meows, I was surprised because it seems to be from around the same flowerbeds or so. This time I look around, and there was this tiny little Siamese blue point kitten, I called him over and he did respond to my calls. Yet he was too tiny to get up my staircase, so I took him in my hands, went back inside, left him on a chair next to mine, and then fed him chicken breast pieces. Well, I name him Kymy, he was nurtured and declawed on his 4 paws, I was very mad at first not toward him, but who leaves a kitten who can't fend for himself outside on a day like this. Anyway, Kymy never was allowed to go outside again. He enjoyed our house 2 stories, 4000 Sq ft, to make it his domain. He would wait for me when getting back from work (did the same to my brother) he would meow his whole night fun to me, enjoying his daily 20 minutes of brushing, then feeding time, he would not leave me, he had to be at arm's lenght so he could be pet and feel love. When I was at my computer he was next to my chair, if I didn't pet him, he would jump on my knees and ask for more petting with a whole lot of meows and happy purring. He would sleep behind my bended knees and he was a happy cat until 2 or 3 months before he died due to old age, because in the last few days of his life he had trouble jumping to sleep behind my knees I had a little staircase done for him to go up or down.
lukas😂
This is so sweet
Just got my siamese cat today. Barely a few hours home and already king of my heart and the house.
I just adopted a part Siamese kitten and he's the most wonderful cat I've ever had. 🥰 He's best buds with my older cat and follows each of us like a puppy and cries when we're out of eyesight. He also likes to climb me if I don't pay him enough attention😂 I work from home so I'll always be here and I'm SO happy to learn they live to 20 years old. There are no cons from my perspective. I absolutely adore him 😍
hello i am getting a Siamese cat soon is there anything I should know before I get them like the most important stuff and by the way I'm only getting one
@@weatherloops They're smarter than most other cat breeds. Every time I tease him with string he swats it twice then dives at me and tries to climb up my sweatpants. He doesn't understand what the string wants, but he knows I'm in cahoots with it. He's also unusually fearless. He attacks the bottoms of my feet when I'm walking down the stairs thus causing me to almost step on him and also sticks his little paws in doorway cracks to try and stop me from closing them. I have to be extremely careful with him until he develops some common sense. The best thing he does is purr and sleep at the drop of a hat. If I pick him up when he wants to play, he squirms for a few seconds, then starts purring, then gives up and falls asleep with his paws in the air. He's the most wonderful cat I've ever had :)
@@weatherloops I’m also only getting one siamese/Himalayan breed. Any advice will be appreciated. I don’t want my cat to get lonely cat syndrome.
Thai cat breed There are many species. Divided into 15-16 species of auspicious cats, but currently there are about 5-6 species left, including Khao Manee.
I have a Siamese but unfortunately she is very territorial. She loves people but absolutely despises other cats in her space. Oh I tried even house sitting another cat and that was a fail.
I have a Flame Pointe Siamese cat. He is such a love bug, great companion, And yes, loves to play daily, hates to be alone. And, can be vocal. I just love this cat so so much. He was a rescue!
You're both so lucky :D
Hi, I have a male flame point too, its exactly what you describe...amazing personality and fun loving. So glad to have him can't ask for more.
My flame point is older, and I got him after his original owner passed. He's like if Buddha was a cat
🙂 just got a flame point yesterday for my mom for mother's day. She's been wanting one for quite some time now.
@@edubbdizzle8096 that’s wonderful! I have my flame point on my lap right now. He is so loving. Best cat ever! But I love them all.
I just got 2 Siamese kitties , rescued them from the side of the road , they are definitely talkative and very lovable
My Siamese is 15 years old, still in great health and loves to sleep next to me. She’s the best. I hope she lives past 20 years. I’ve had her since she was a kitten.
I took a siamese cat, Baphomet Randy Savage, last year and it's amazing! talkative, hyper affectionate, hyper active and super super smart. It's the only one of my 5 cats which, when I finger point to something, looks in the pointed direction instead of looking at my hand! Plus when we travel for long distance as long as he can see me he stays super quite in his carrier!!
I live in a very far away town and most of my family also live far away is there anything I should know before I take my Siamese cats on long 8 hour road trips and should i always keep them in their cage??
@@weatherloops I dont know we usually travel for half that time. I carry a bottle of water and a little litter box for any random issue, but I usually don't need 'em. I keep him in his cage but with door open since I know he wont go around or do crazy stuffs as long as he see me, he just nap there and enjoy when I belly rub him. Anyway each animals has his own personality so those are just how my siamese behave I wont vouch for any other siamese to be like this 😉
@@glaucoruzzetti9630 thank u
My beautiful Siamese cat Marcqus passed away recently at the age of 22 y/o. Quite the talker clear up until he went to kitty heaven. He was a great companion.
Sorry for your loss. 😔
I’m sorry to hear that.
Sorry for your loss, I too lost my cat a couple months back at 17.5 years old. What I would have given to have him live another 5. I adopted a part siamese to replace him and he's gotten me through the grieving process.
The only con I can think of a Siamese, is that when they die you're left like an empty carcass that remains having vitals even tho you died. When my 19 years old Micha passed away it was, I kid you not, harder to deal with than the death of loved relatives.
I totally agree with you. I was owned by four beauties for fifty years, and I was gutted when each one passed away. I still feel like a walking carcass after the last one died two years ago.
@@caroltraftondale1475 I understand you. I had the fortune of being adopted nearly 3 months after that by a stray cat who seemed like a kitten but was stoutly built and weighted ober 8 pounds. I thought it was beige but it was just dirty. Turned out to be a khao manee, to my surprise. Never heard of the breed before and it behaved like a bat out of hell but the poor thing had severe allergies. Now, 4 years later, he's a healthy boy, 20+ pounds (so it was actually a kitten when he strolled into my shop and made me his human) and as sweet and as affectionate as a Siamese, but a tad more "independant".
😞😞 i lost my 8yr old Siamese baby 2mths ago I feel like im dying (lost as in he ran away from the petsitter’s house, so it feels like shit worrying so much abt how he is, is he surviving?? has he eaten this whole time?? did he die?? 😭😭😭) He is the most affectionate loving smart perfect cat. I feel so empty without him.
It is sad that we'll usually outlive our pets. But the alternative...
It’s true. My husband and I cried like babies when our 20 yr old blue-point Siamese passed. We had our baby Sapphire from 6 weeks old and even though we have 2 others now, her large picture still graces our wall to this day.
I have 3 siamese cats for over 5 years and this video is spot on. I had to move into small apartment snd only took one cat and the other two had to stay with relative until i found a larger house and my male Siamese hated the small apartment & missed his playmates after 6 months i moved and he was happy as can be now. Well done 👍
Glad you liked it
My flame point Siamese is a dingus 😆 dumbest cat I ever had but also the most loving and lovable. At 16, he doesn’t show any signs of slowing down yet and loves to spend most of the day sleeping on a heating pad. It’s true that they can get lonely when alone in the house so after his good friend, Lily, passed away at 18, I got Kahli the Destroyer (little black house panther) so he would have company. They ignore each other for the most part, but just having her presence is a comfort to him.
I have a traditional Siamese kitten, he has to be to most calm cat I’ve ever had, very well behaved, at least so far 🤣 he is always by my side🥺❤️
Yeah maybe ... but if the size differential between you and kitty were reversed he would either eat you or play with you to death. My kitty too. Most I think.
Ppl always tell me they want a Siamese like mine- and I warn them it’s a big commitment! Not just anyone can care for them. Siamese owners are special!
It sure is a big commitment! I can attest to that 😂
There aren't any cons unless you don't want a cat that loves to be around you and loves you.
Exactly!!! My long-haired Siamese (Balinese) is the most loyal, loving cat I've ever had. And I'm home a lot now, so she's happy as can be, follows me around, head-butts me, and gazes into my eyes. So much soul!
honestly you are right. mine is on my hip all the time
Being too vocal IS a con.
Luckily mine isn't a big talker.
I had a girlfriend who had such a cat. From my first visit on, i could tell it had selected me for a special place in its hierarchy of friends. He would chat me up, then stand in my lap, nuzzling my chin and kneading my chest(i call it making muffins) purr talking and chirping all the while. Made for interesting three cornered conversations when my girlfriend wanted me to pay attention to her!
My mom used to have an apple head Siamese cat since 2006, she used to go with my mom everywhere. When I was born she was so calm/chill with me around, I used to pull her fur when I was 9 months old, she didn’t even care that much about it. When I was around 2-3 she ran away from home and she was never found. When I was 7 we decided to get a new Siamese mix cat, her name is Chloe. My mom owned her for 4 years and then I decided when I was 12 to take care of Chloe since I am an absolute cat person! She used to be really scared of me and now we are really close! She usually comes to my door in the morning and meows a lot since she wants fed. She is so gentle and friendly, she sometimes does hiss or get upset when people annoy her (mostly my dad lol). I’m turning 14 this year and she is super sweet! I love her so much!
(Sorry if this is super unnecessary, I was bored and passionate 🤭)
There is no bad/con for living with a Siamese 🥰
I had a Siamese duo. Purchased December 2002. Half brother and sister. The girl was an extremely petite Seal Point, the boy a huge Blue Point (at the end of his life he weighed 8 plus KG, a very big cat). Jackson and Bella were their names.
These cats were an enormous influence on my daughter's lives. Bella used to talk constantly (a very loud Siamese yowl), Jackson, on the other hand despite being a huge cat, had this totally effimate squeak.
These two beautiful cats had such a huge impact on my daughter's lives.
They were their best friends, a source of comfort, and great play buddies.
In your video you state that Siamese cats are not good for toddlers. I firmly disagree.
My youngest daughter was 2 years old when Jackson and Bella entered her life. And yes, she used to pick them up and carry them about the house (much to the cat's discomfort). But these cats loved all our young daughters and they equally loved them as well.
These beautiful cats loved their young mistresses as these young girls absolutely adored their beautiful cats.
Siamese cats are not just cats. They are 'HU-Cats', ie. Human Cats'. Their love, bonding and total allegiance to their owners transcends every other experience you will have with any other animal.
They are totally unique. If you want a pet that becomes a part of your family then I recommend a pair of Siamese cats. The impact they will have is truly magical. Truly amazing magical cats and pets.
Their loss is something which still causes severe pain.
But, their impact is still lingers. To have a couple of cats who were human like is just HUGE.
Honestly, Jackson and Bella were the best things to happen in our life!!!!!
I'm sorry for your loss. And I agree Siamese cats are wonderful.
You are absolutely right about them being HU-cats!
My Siamese cat, Marie, was such a great cat. Very loving, playful and so smart. She always got along with our other pets, especially my mom’s old poodle. She was my baby cat, had to say goodbye after 19 years together.
The traditional Applehead Siamese will never go extinct. In Brazil we consider the applehead the true Siamese.
Yes, it’s the natural breed. The modern Siamese was created through genetic modification, and I don’t even understand why. The applehead siamese is the most beautiful of the small cats.
I call the new "show" variety of Siamese "Moon Rats" because that's what they look like to me. Appleheads will never go extinct.
This is my first cat,a lilac point he is right at about 5 months now.soo much easier to be around than a dog that needs attention 24 hrs a day. And the litter box is great ,if he can use it, I can scoop it. Never thought I'd like a cat , and I absolutely love this little guy.
Any advice I’m also getting a single kitty. And I don’t want it to get lonely
Yes! That’s wonderful. They are so amazing. I’m happy for another man learning cats are as awesome as dogs but just in a different way.
The allergen warning is so true. When I was 20, my family adopted a non-pedigreed snowshoe from a local shelter. We thought she'd be a low allergen cat because of her short fur.
Not true - she's double coated and sheds like crazy! Sweet cat though. Very affectionate and not whiney like some Siamese are. She's still going at 15 years old!
My two siamese shed but not near as bad as other cats I've had.
Zero cons!!!!! I have a tortie point Siamese and she is my baby!!!! The sweetest, most docile cat, I have ever had, shes such an amazing cat! She’s the queen of the house! ❤️
Don’t say to me “ I hate cats”, I will newer have business with you. My Siamese Goldie is my physical therapist,my neurologist, my PCP. We both have unconditional love to each other.😻
My Siamese loves her bengal siblings. And I do agree on the high energy part. She keeps up with them and their play time needs.
I will always remember my Siamese cats (mother and daughter), as we shared many great years together.
I have a 2 year old Siamese and she is the best she follows me everywhere! And if I’m crying she gives me cuddles and licks my hand
I have two siamese cats and they are such a lovely companion at home. I can't imagine living without those two talking around the house now ❤️
My family’s Applehead Siamese was the most gentle and loving cat I’ve ever known. She was like a sister to me.
My Siamese is definitely the smartest cat I've ever owned. I can see in her eyes that she's thinking lol. She's also kind of a jerk and doesn't get along with our other cat at all. She's quite the character.
Our Siamese was the best babysitter ever! He could lull a fussy baby back to sleep faster than I could!
I've had Siamese cats for 30 years now. There are no down sides. My kids would carry them around by their heads. The cats never once hurt the child. They also love my dogs. I would not be happy without at least 2 Siamese cats.
This is the siamese cat video I agree with most so far. I have a siamese, and when her ragdoll companions moved out with their owner she definitely missed their companionship. I got a kitten and they play all the time now, and it did take a paced, careful introduction period to get them to this point. It took a little less than two weeks from kitten's arrival to fully integrated, and it was very worth it.
My siamese is definitely vocal. I consider that a plus, but I know I don't hold the majority opinion on that one.
I adore my siamese cats! They're so smart & loving!
Me too.
My siamese cats are SO LOUD. 😂 She definitally didn't get that wrong.
I totally agree mines the same way lol.
I have a Siamese cat mixed with black cat there are no flaws just cuteness
I love that you started with “the royal looking Siamese cat” because thats exactly what I named one of my siamese cats Royal and his brother was named Sterling! ❤
A beautiful Siamese cat just showed up at my house back in March, and it had apparently become feral - but it was the most gorgeous feral cat I had ever seen… when I could see it, because as soon as I got anywhere near - there would be this cream-colored streak to go hide under my house. Eventually he became friendly, and talkative, and let me met him. His ear had been tipped (as are most strays in my neighborhood!), and I started thinking about adopting him to live with my family and our other cats. One day a couple weeks ago, I tried picking him up briefly - no problem at all! So a couple days later I picked him up and brought him inside. He is tolerant of my other cats (and vice versa), and since I am retired I am home most of the time. He clings to me like crazy! He lets me bet his chest and belly, gives me love bites, and all the pros in this video are true with him! I have no pedigree on him obviously, but he was someone’s precious pet at one time. He was not chipped, I scoured the “lost pets” categories of all social media, no sign of him anyplace, so I am keeping him. His name is Sugar. Sweetest cat I have ever known!
My Siamese cat missed the intelligence trait lol, he is not a bright cat. He is however the most affectionate cat I've ever met and always wants to be close. I wish all the cats I've had in the past were more like him.
I had one of the "rare" Siamese babies, and she lived to be 26 years old. We lived in a big old Southern house and she had a big old time running all over that house! She was great and she talked up a storm!
Our “current” Siamese (Mr. Pink) just turned 20 yrs old. Vet says heart, lungs, strong so who knows how long he will live. LOL. He is the “old” original “Apple Head” line and a beautiful FLAME POINT!! Cream body with RED points!! He is stunning, and KNOWS IT!! Everyone one who see him says he is the “Most Beautiful Cat” they have ever seen!! (And he has been seen by a lot of people over the years.). Vet had to pull all upper teeth on left side as got a BAD abscess!!😢. He was a trooper, got through the surgery with flying colors and is back running HIS HOUSE of 5 cats, 2 dogs, and 4 adults. He loves it because there ALWAYS is a lap available for him to occupy “for the rest of his natural life!!” YES!! They LOVE to sit on laps and can become vocal and annoyed when you want to get up. Mr. Pink’s claws ALWAYS find something to grasp in order to make the standing up process more difficult than it should be!! He runs this menagerie with a firm and iron PAW when necessary. He is our Baby Boy, and we relish each day we have with him now as age DOES have a way of sneaking up on you when least expected.
My dad was a dog person until Michi, a Siamese cat, arrived. After that, it was impossible not to love him; he was sweet, intelligent, funny, brave, and gorgeous... I miss them both.
my cat has the same name Michi😭so cute
Traditional Siamese cat is way cuter...seems to me the choice is easy.
I grew up with a cat who was part Siamese we named her Sugar had her from 2000-2015. She was pretty skittish in her younger years but as she got older she became super affectionate and "mother like" with the family always wanting to be around us. I miss her everyday.
We just adopted a stray Siameza cat ,and before we knew it she gave birth to 2 absolutely adorable kittens.
I love them so much❤
I was so worried my siamese would attack my son when he was born, because she was a bit, well, I called my the end of my hallway the “doorway of terror” bc she would sit atop her cat tree and grab my mom’s hair when she walked by, and also wait at the door on the edge of the couch to swipe at anyone walking in…Our bond was wonderful tho, and she actually totally respected my son wehn he was born. Thank god, I didn’t want to have to rehome her. She was so funny
Good to know. And, there’s no reason for every cats 🐈 to be jealous of having a baby 🤰🏻
I watched this video, because my wife and I are seriously considering another Siamese for the house. We've had a couple years ago, and a couple of mixed ones since that time. You are spot on about them being vocal (sometimes too much), intelligent, playful and loving. They can also be spiteful, will steal any food you leave on the counter (one of ours stole TWO whole chickens that were thawing), and quickly learn to open doors at the most inappropriate times lol. Still, this is the breed we decided upon and know what we are getting into. We lost our 3 dachshunds in 2020 within a few months of each other and haven't had a pet since. It's a big step for us, and your video reminded me what we are getting into. Thank you. And we will definitely adopt.
My Stanley came in as party guests were leaving. He did not like strangers in his house. Being well trained (LOL) he walked up to the table, stood up on his hind legs ( we had a no cat on the table rule) hooked a claw in a pork chop, flipped it on the floor, jumped down and took it to his bed for a snack.
@@bonniecarruth8429 LMAO! They are sneaky little buggers and smart!
I have two Tonks. Pros: They are super affectionate. Cons: They LOVE to scratch the furniture and bite through thin wires. Hard cat proofing the house.
Put hot sauce on any exposed wires you don’t want them to bite.
I see grown up with Siamese and presently have three as we found a great breeder locally that does the Traditional Thai cats. Love these animals
Siamese cats are the best cats! ive had many cats in my life but nothing beats the intelligence and affectionate nature of the siamese ! my fur baby is my best friend and ive never had such a strong bond with an animal.if you hesistate about getting a siamese: just do it! they are amazing!
Siamese Cats are amazing aristocrats among cats.
Cats are naturally social creatures, and assemble into cat colonies. My local shelter keeps cats together in colonies, and they get along together.
I would adopt two or a few cats if my building allowed pets.
During my childhood, I was raised with two alpha female cats who did not get along with each other. They were not introduced properly, because we did not have any Jackson Galaxy cat videos during the 1960s.
Calico TC was the senior cat, who just showed up as a gentle, friendly stray, house-trained, spayed, and was a skilled predator. She owned our yard, and could be seen hunting throughout my neighborhood.
Siamese Lucy was adopted when my father's friend's Siamese Queen had a litter of pure Siamese kittens. The day my father brought her home, I remember her walking around the kitchen, filling the house with her distinctive Siamese voice. Having seen the movie "That Darned Cat" Lucy did not seem to be strange.
The first time they saw each other, it was a war between two Alpha Females, who instantly disliked each other. They hissed, howled, and swatted at each other for the next 15 years.
Eventually they divided the house between each other, with certain rooms belonging to one or the other. They divided the Living Room and Kitchen by sides of the room.
The TV belonged to Siamese Lucy, because the vacuum tubes kept it warm. One day one of my brother's friends saw Lucy in her Sphinx pose, and remarked "I swear I saw your statue move!"
Feeding time always was challenging. We would have to feed Lucy first, before feeding TC. Then Lucy would leave her food, and edge TC away from TC's food. TC would just walk to the door, as if to say "I can catch better stuff than that!" Within a half hour, TC could be seen chowing down on some unfortunate rodent or bird.
One day TC was absolutely insistent demanding to go outside, despite the rain. So I opened the front door to show TC that it was pouring rain. This angered TC, she pulled her ears back, and turned away from the door. At that moment, Lucy came bopping into the room, happy with her tail straight up. TC hissed and attacked poor Lucy, who had an expression like "What did I do?!?"
Those incidents went on for 15 years, until TC died. Lucy walked the house for days, calling mournfully and searching for her rival housemate. Lucy adjusted to being an only cat for the next two years.
Decades later, I still miss those two stepsisters.
I love my adorable flame-point Siamese girl. She is a little evil sometimes but in a cute way lol. She’s so affectionate and sweet and never bites, scratches, hisses or anything. She just likes to be around you and chatter all day 😸
Another thing to remember about the siamese cat is despite being a more intelligent breed they still don't always look before they leap. They will also sometimes eat things that aren't good for them like potted house plants, soap, and even plastic. You really need to cat proof your house before you get a siamese cat.
mine ate string! and will eat the tails off any toy
Love love love this breed 💓
My Siamese is a cuddle king but the most possessive. Hates everyone but me 🙃🙂
I have 3 they are absolutely brilliant, beautiful, great pets, Thanks for the video
Thank you for these facts! I'm hopefully getting a siamese cat soon.
I have a Lynx Point Siamese we got from a rescue last year as a 3 month old kitten. He is soooo loving and sweet and has my fur baby who passed away, his gentle temperament. He loves his part Bengal/MC/mix sister but she gets annoyed with him lol. But I am disabled so I am home all day every day which is why Leo bonded closest to me.
Very good overview. You described all of my past Siamese.
Got a stray one. For a year now. Though in meds coz hes sick but he's the best. Sweet and behaved.
Cons to the siamese, a lot. But the cons are also why we love them!
I love my Johnny boy! He’s such a lover, too! He’s only a year old so I guess I’ll have him for a few years
Being from Thailand it makes me so happy to know people really like this breed thanks 🙏🏼 😊😊
We had a siamese when I was young. She was the best cat. Loving, smart and a bit of a bitch!
I have a Thai Siamese cat named Pooka. He's a silly boy who loves snuggles. I got a rescue cat tabby (Loki) as a companion and they got a long within a day or two. Pooka already liked him while Loki whined because Pooka kept sniffing his butt. They really love each other now. One thing that wasn't mentioned was that Siamese can be protective of their family/territorial. Pooka can be like this towards people he thinks are not allowed in my place. He's very friendly with others but has been aggressive or menacing to a few. My step mom because she barged into the loft I was renting and he really didn't like that. And when I had a friend visit from overseas. Pooka would sit on him and sleep but would stare him down and look like a spring ready to release. I think he was jealous because Loki loved him and would always cuddle and sleep with him and not with Pooka.
I have an Siamese x Ragdoll mix and he is the absolute best! He talks throughout the day, he sleeps on our chest, he wants to be hugged all day and he’s playfull! The absolute best boy🥰🩵
All of these pros sound like my Rusty. He's such a sweetie. He's not orange. He looks like a Thai cat but I just wanted to name him Rusty. I rescued him as a stray kitten so I'm not sure what he really is but he sure looks like a Thai kitty
I have a female Siamese/Balinese kitty, I've had her for 16 years and I love her so much, such a beautiful breed. So loving, intelligent, friendly and I love how they always want to be with you and never want to to be left alone.
I love siamese cats. All my life i have, at least, one. They're the best friends I have.
My Siamese, Finn, has been missing for 2 months.💔 He was my best buddy. He was really more human than cat. He would carry on a conversation- both intently listening and talking in turn. He would look straight into my eyes with his big beautiful big eyes and walk up my chest to show love. He tried to protect me from dangers (such as going in the shower) by grabbing my leg and telling me “don’t go in there!”. Just a wonderful and intelligent companion. I hope you all enjoy every moment with your Siamese! If they are like Finn, there are so many “Pros” that, if there are any “cons”, they are irrelevant.
I've had quite a few Meezies by now, and they've always bonded closely with other cats, including a neighbour's.
as a breeder for decades yes originally a Siamese and orange domestic cat were bred to achieve a "Flame point" true but they are now a permanent colour referred to as Flame point or Red point and can be short or long haired which is called Balinese. Most often male and colour points can be quite dark or on the paler side. Torrie points are often mistaken for a mixed breed but also come in various colour points. Seal Torrie, blue Torrie etc. Reds have pink noses and Torties sometimes depending on colour point. Darker points have dark violet blue eyes and lighter points like reds, lilac etc have lighter, bright blue. Whatever colour, they are usually all very affectionate with their owners and are usually long lived, if you
choose your Siamese carefully and ask questions or buy from a reputable breeder.
I have a Siamese and I love her so much, she’s very talkative and hates when I leave the house. She is so cute and kind and loves her best friend Mynx . She also loves when I scratch her back , she so amazing bless her :)
There are no cons/bad things with living with a Siamese! My baby was so protective and intelligent, miss you Elvira 💜

I have 2 myself and they are fantastic friends. They go everywhere the beach, mountains and even grocery shopping.
I’m obsessed with my flame point Siamese ❤ she’s the sweetest most affectionate girl! She sleeps on my chest every night ❤
All pros for me I have had Siamese cat since I was 10 and now am 61 love that breed exclusively
Pretty Siamese!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
My first Siamese was a red point; what you call flame point. I bred Siamese for decades... One of my queens used to start giving birth, then hide the kitten in my bed ( with me in it..)then get back to work. When I came to Ireland and saw the terrible situation here with ferals and strays I changed tack, and now after 20 years of rescue work? Two Siamese are in another rescue needing homes and they are coming to me...YAY! There are no cons.... they are themselves simply. And my current moggie rescues as I am homebound 24/7 are as affectionate and quirky as thet Siamese... You get what you put in... One of my current cats is part Oriental and the sheer extra intelligence so reminds me of Siamese ,, Oh and they can beat dogs at being clever any day
I had a Siamese cat named Sarah for nearly 20 years before her health began to fail. I'll always remember her unique meow, healthy appetite, jumping down from our roof onto my truck, and being smart as a whip. Rest in peace sweet girl.😽
I had a Siamese growing up as a kid I love them I want one again
Siamese Cat Lucy and the Thanksgiving turkey...
From the moment that the turkey started thawing, Siamese Cat Lucy loudly announced that she wanted that bird. The entire time it was in the oven, she yowled for her share of turkey. That made for a long day trying to distract and amuse a loud and determined Siamese Cat who was obsessed by that bird.
Meanwhile, Calico TC was her usual stoic and self-controlled self. She was a Zen Master among cats, but she wanted her share of turkey when it was time to eat. Canned cat food was off the menu as long as there was leftover turkey in the house.
I miss those two stepsisters.
I love my Siamese 🥹 she is gorgeous and loving yet sassy ❤️🥰
❤️❤️
@@FactsaboutCatsVideos you’ll find videos of her and her brother on my channel if you’d like to see her 🥰 they are just like one of my kids. Couldn’t live without them!
I love my Siamese cat unfortunately she was abandoned by her original owners because she was too loud but they never spay her I rescue her spayed her & she calm down & now she is the cutest most lovable cat I love my baby !!!
I have two siamese cats that play alot and loves cuddles!!
We had one of these cats. His name was Jeff. He passed away at the age of 22. He was smart, and we estimated that he could understand roughly 40% of our vocabular. He was able to mimic roughly 20 human words, including my name and my wife's name. Human words were hard for him to pronounce, since cat's mouths are shaped a little different than our. It was clear from the context that he understood what he was saying, and was very pleased that we understood him. It was hard to understand him, but there was clearly structure and syntax to his vocalizations. He really did like a good conversation. His instincts told him that he was a carnivorous predatior who hunted by stealth. He would sit at the window sills for hours, staring out at the yard and the woods beyond. He got out of the house a few times and we realized he didn't have a clue how to find food, water, or shelter on his own. When we found him, he was glad to come home to his big food and water bowls.
We miss him. RIP Jeff.
Thanks for sharing your story and I'm so sorry for your loss :(
I have a 15 year old chocolate siamese and it's really healthy
I have One of them... They have the soul of a dog in a body of dog. I love him!
I have a 16 y/o siamese and last year my mom adopted a lynx point siamese kitten. Instant buddies and I was super worried they wouldn’t get along. Both sleep in my bed every night now lol. Siamese is definitely the best cat breed
Siamese cats are the most amazing cats. I love them so much. They are so sweet, friendly and cute.
I love Siamese cats!
